Writer: Tell Us What You’re Grateful For Today!
At Writer’s Relief, we know it’s important to acknowledge and celebrate the good in our lives! What are we most grateful for? The click-clack sound of a keyboard, a cup of good coffee, a great book to read, inspiring quotes, the joy of an acceptance letter…and mostly, for YOU, dear writer!
We invite you to add some positivity to your day and post your message of gratitude to our virtual Wall of Gratitude. Visit and add to the wall whenever you want to share a moment of  thankfulness with other writers. You can post a note to our Gratitude Wall using this simple form.
Whether you’re a client, a subscriber to our free newsletter (Submit Write Now!), an admirer of our blog, or are just passing through, we love that you’ve stopped by to share a few words about something (or someone) you’re grateful for today.
Let’s fill this entire virtual Wall of Gratitude with all the things we’re thankful for as writers!
