Why Prose?

First off, Prose is a really great platform to write freely without the restrictions of a place where publishing takes a while. On several other sites, it might take weeks to get a piece published. On this site, you can publish your pieces and enter challenges instantly.

Also, challenges! I enjoy them so much! Challenges are great when you have writers block, and I’ve started to scroll down the challenge tab to find something that might cure my block and it has worked.

The writing community on Prose is fantastic, too. You write, get feedback, usually very helpful reviews and feedback in the comments. There is virtually no hatred between users that I’ve seen escalate.

All in all, it’s an amazing way to express what you might not to people out loud. You can stay anonymous, you can be out in the open, you can share your feelings, your thoughts, your dreams and your words with people everywhere.

Improvements?

I’ve read several posts about ads being removed, which I don’t think is necessary (because it does take a lot to run a site like this and ads are a way to generate revenue and keep it up and running), but I believe at least not putting them in the middle of writing pieces would be very helpful. It disrupts the flow of reading. I don’t mind them elsewhere, when they’re in between posts.

Since I love challenges so much, I think there may be a better way to organize them. Maybe there can be a separate space for the challenge of the week, so it’s more apparent. Maybe challenges created by people you follow could come up in your stream. Maybe when someone enters a challenge you created you could get a notification. Just some thoughts!

Overall, I’m glad to use Prose and be a part of the website. My writing has improved and I am starting to fall deeper in love with it. Thank you for being awesome!
