words  verbal or written expression: to express one's emotions in words

Like Music and Art, The Written Word is our species unique ability to communicate thoughts, ideas and emotions. Unlike Music and Art, The Written Word conveys thoughts and ideas directly, rather than through the abstract of Art or Music. For centuries, The Written Word was possessed and exchanged only by the political -- religious -- economic -- social elite as a method of controling the general populace. As we shape our world in a new millenium, The Written Word is freely distributed throughout the world instantly, causing fear in those who might seek to control this ultimate human power.

Relax Online gives this power to you...
This section exists to allow the free exchange of written words, from writers and poets to commentators and crackpots. Although we accept quality material from anybody, on any subject, our standard is that we have no standards. What you will find here is individual creativity you are not going to get through mainstream media outlets. We would never presume to edit someone else's words, so what you read here is what we get, direct from the writer without filtering. Sit back and read passively, but we encourage you to interact by submitting your own written words, or by responding to the written words you will find here.

If you have submitted material to ROL before...
If you have material posted on Relax Online, send us something new. We would love to post new works from our previous writers. If you have submitted material in the past and it hasn't been posted, please submit your material once again. We have new editorial staff in all departments would like a chance to review your material once more. Check our Submissions page for our current guidelines and requirements.
