For those of you reading this article and are not familiar with SearchWarp, authors can give a personal status update about anything. We will post what we are working on, talk about the weather or congratulate someone for an accomplishment. As I said, whatever update you want to post, you can do it on the homepage of the site.
For instance, I learned from Jeff Brown through the update, that the Top 10 of the Top 100 Authors have a longevity average of three years writing for SearchWarp. You get this kind of trivia, to updates about children and other family members. We Twitter in our own way and stay connected.
I like reading the posts of the authors making a confession. The post typically goes something like this: "I have become addicted to SearchWarp." Another will read, "I spend too much time here. I don't want to leave." And another one will speak of logging in on a break while at work. This Writer's Community is habit-forming. And from the looks of it, no one wants to kick the habit!
What is The SearchWarp Game? It is something I made up, actually. You will never hear me complain about being bored. There is far too much to do for leisure and life! The homepage at SearchWarp has a section called "Most Recent" which lists the most recent article submissions. There is also a section called "Featured Authors" on the homepage.
I've been around for a little while now and have joined many fan clubs at SearchWarp. Well, yes. SearchWarp has Fan Clubs, too. I have shared with family and friends that I, "moi" have fans! I get such a kick out of that! I also get a kick out of reading from the many categories of articles found at SearchWarp. Since you become a fan of the authors, you get a sense of personalities from their writing. We can also comment on articles that we've read. The comments also reveal more about personalities and what's important to someone.
The SearchWarp Game is fun with all of this information. I'm probably not the only one who does this and if I am, I offer no excuses for my choice of pleasure. I will read the Most Recent section and pair the submission with the author in the Featured Authors section to determine: Who Wrote that Article?
Through the process of elimination, I may get some correct because a new author may be featured. Let me say this. We get an email of recent submissions of the authors if we are a member of their Fan Club. I do not open the email if I want to play The SearchWarp Game. Honestly, I don't!
When I looked this morning, I knew
Get off the Tracks!!! was submitted by Myla Madson. I saw Terry Mitchell's name and then looked at the Recent Submissions. I was certain he'd written,
Will Retirement Soon Be Obsolete, after looking at the other articles. Check! I almost always get Susan Thom and Robert Melaccio's submissions correct. Joel Hendon fooled me a few weeks ago with his submission on
How to Appease That Itching Back. I laughed out loud on getting that one wrong. Yes, I get them wrong, too. I would guess I'm at the 80/20 ratio, with getting more correct than not.
There are some articles you just know who wrote them. That makes being an author at SearchWarp worthwhile. This is a community where you actually get to know people in a special way. Reading and writing opens up the world to us. Community is worldwide and SearchWarp helps to enlarge communities. If you want to become a part of this community,
