Dear
Writers,
Welcome
to BIW's home on the web. This group has been a source of
encouragement for hundreds of writers for ten years.
It is
an honor to be listed in the Writer's Digest 101 Best Websites
for Writers for 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Our motto
continues to be BIC HOK TAM, which means butt in chair, hands
on keyboard, typing away madly. This is the best way we know
of to get any writing done.
We hope
you will join us in meeting our writing goals.
Moe
BIW List Moderator/Webmaster
What Members
Are Saying:
"There's something about BIW - something about us
all being in this together - that motivates me to push to
make my goal no matter what else comes my way. I could never
write this many pages if it weren't for your encouragement
and the support of such a great group of writers. After all,
the first year I started writing my first novel, I wrote only
about 25 pages and kept mulling them over and rewriting them
ad nauseum! Since joining BIW exactly 3 years ago, I've written
three books in the series, am about to submit the first one
after much revision, and have written several other shorter
pieces - a total of over 2000 pages worth of writing. Thank
you very much for providing the place and incentive for me
to do this." -- Elaine
"BIW is by far the best internet writers group I
have ever participated in. It's a great community of people,
and the way the admin keeps it all together is brilliant.
Thanks for starting it, and for keeping it going... I appreciate
it every first of the month." -- Heidi H.
"This group has helped me more than I can say –
the discipline of writing intensely for a whole week each
month and the encouragement I've received has given me the
heart to continue.This group has helped me more than I can

"BIW is strenuous but not stressful; meaning, the
only pressure to meet our goals comes from the inside not
from something external (like job pressure). Although people
may use the BIW of course to meet external goals, like deadlines
for editors, etc." --Shelley
"There is incredible support and friendship available
in a writing group such as this one. There are members who
have been with BIW for years and profess they would likely
not finish their novels without the help and motivation found
at BIW. Also, the international community here is quite unique.
BIW is no fly-by-night club - and it has a lot of good things
going for it. (Just my 2 cents)" -- Wendy W.
"It's an incredibly positive group. What other group
have any of us found where we have so much interaction but
no backbiting, sniping, name calling, and the like? This is
seriously a positive group and nothing but positive energy
seems to stick." -- Laurie
