WritersRemember.com: Filling the Inkwell

關於我：

Writers Remember is a creative writing endeavor here to help you find yourself as a writer. Rest assured, however, it is not just another writing site.

Writers Remember is unlike any other writers' website out there, because its focus is on discouraged writers, those who have a fervent passion for the craft, but have been burnt out by the competitive nature which surrounds it.

Julia Temlyn, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Writers Remember, says this:

Writers Remember was born out of something my mother asked me once, regarding the similarities between myself and the heroine of one of my favorite books, Little Women.

"Do you ever feel a bit like Jo-- writing what pleases others and pays the bills?"

Just as Jo March, and her author-counterpart Louisa May Alcott, wrote what pleased the newspapers, gossip columns, and the like over one hundred years ago, so do many writers today. We write articles and content for the internet, sometimes even compromising our values by deliberately butchering the English language in the name of search engine optimization. We might even write novels or stories that please others, but we feel no passion for the stories we've written, not even pride... more like numbness.

In our attempts to write for clips and quick cash, are we falling out of love with the writing process? Have we forgotten what it feels like to scribble in a notebook, to collect our favorite words, to dream? Visit us at Writers Remember.
