About WP Writers Group
Hello! I’m Poch. I created this weblog for everything about writing and art in general. Everyone is WELCOME! Essays about life, personal or otherwise, are mostly favored. Anyone interested in submitting a post may notify me. I will not edit any post that I approve and publish. I never and will not take credit for any article I did not write. All beliefs and opinions here are not necessarily my own. New posts from writers are allowed once every two weeks so as not to crowd-out articles from new writers. New posts will probably be published on Saturdays or Sundays only. All writers who submitted voluntarily are considered members. If you feel shy about joining the group, you're welcome to try me as a writing partner. If you don't have a link here but are linked to Plato on-line, you will find your linkback there at the page 'Special Plato on-line Links'. One day, like all my weblogs, I will leave this one to whoever is most worthy :-)EZine Award
