First and foremost--this site is made up of friends and it starts off that way.  I have visited some blogs of creative writers and have not seen other writers represented in the favorites that you would read daily; like the sports section of a newspaper.  While some might have rules for picking favoritess that is fine, hey diversity is welcome here.  I have seen the first five bloggers who say the nicest thing to a new blogger get put up on the favorites and that is it.  I have seen favorites  that only have quality updated blogs, and there are others who have favorites based on the community of the favorite sport they watch the most. My favorites are both quality reads and writers that are in all of the sports categories.  Including soccer, the horses, and Formula 1 racing.

There are no specific guidelines to using this site, but I do know what people expect-- offer constructive criticism in a polite manner. And posting comments help writers here know who is reading the articles.

Writing is about constant improvement, never settling for mediocrity, but how can this be better and even grow my readership.  It is a game in that it is daily challenge to maintain consistent readable material.  It is not a game because it is a craft much like the painting of pictures and photographing of nature and people in original posture.  Writing is exactly like art and imagine the North American continent with citizens that are all illiterate.  That makes this site and books all the more valuable.  Have fun writing and reading.
