"The Artistic Network is a site that was developed specifically for the purpose of exposing the talent of creative artists and the modern-day Renaissance Man. Anyone dealing with creative arts, from individuals to organizations, can add themselves to the arts directory."
This is a community for aspiring writers of all ages and skill levels. You can post your own material on one of the multiple message boards, and comment on someone else's material. This is a semi-private site, which means that you can visit and read to your heart's content, but to post anything you have to apply for membership. (This is to keep out known troublemakers.) Management at CW is very good about responding to a membership application within a day or two at most. (I can say that with confidence, as I'm principle manager there for the time being. I didn't start the site, I just inherited the position!)
ANCHOR COVE
A community of mostly Christians. It started as a place for Christians to find encouragement from one another; but since it has an open membership (meaning anyone can join) it has a fairly large non-Christian membership as well. Open dialogue in a non-threatening atmosphere is encouraged, as is participation in an ongoing Christian "Soap Opera".
A unique publishing company, featuring the works of some of my online Creative Writers acquaintances, including Sean Brijbasi (see below for his personal website), Dean Strom, J. Tyler Blue, and others.
When I was in college, I worked at this radio station (see my bio at About the Author). At the time it played primarily classical music with some late night rock; now it's "News, Blues and All That Jazz". Drop in and listen for a while!
This is a local Christian station. Most Christian stations in our area play adult contemporary (Point of Grace) and pop (Michael W. Smith), and while I like those sounds, I prefer something a little harder. Truth 103 plays more rock (Mute Math, Sanctus Real, Disciple) and hip-hop (although I'm not much of a fan of hip-hop, so I can't give you examples). They went on the air September 21, 2004, and have begun to amass a decent audience, both locally and world-wide via their streaming audio at their website. Take a listen.
