Helpful Books on Writing...

The writers' conference last weekend was invaluable in so many ways. The wealth of information about the modern day writing market heard from the lips of the very people who influence the industry, is valuable insight that cannot be received through any other venue. However, certain tidbits of advice and recommendations can (and should) be passed on to all writers that are hoping to have their work published. One I found particularly helpful, was a certain recommendation for a book on self-editi… Continue

Authors! Think Heads-up Seven-up ;-)

Okay, I may be seriously dating myself here, but does anyone remember the elementary school game Heads-Up Seven-Up?

In a nutshell, here’s how the game goes:

• A leader is chosen from the classroom who stands at the front of the room, viewing all other students.

• All the other students in the classroom put their heads down, shut their eyes (no peeking!) and hold their thumbs up, hoping to be chosen by the classmate at the head of the room. (I remember both the joy of being picked and the hear… Continue

Welcome San Diego Writers!

Grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair and stay awhile. Let's talk about writing.

Keep a few things in mind as you post here:

1. Posts are public.
This is a public forum and all posts are archived on the web. Bottom line, don't say anything here you wouldn't want everyone (and I mean EVERYONE: your mom, your little brother, your future employer) to see. Forever.

2. Be On Topic.
This is a group of writers. We're here to talk about writing, the creation of writing, the business of writing, events about writing. We are also a community of friends to some extent, which means that on occasion, non-writing topics will come up. Use the Start a New Discussion link if you want to change topics, and be sure to Title and Tag your post appropriately. That way your fellow writers will be able to scan the list of active discussions and see which ones are of interest.

3. Be Respectful.
Don't really foresee a problem here, but we gotta say it anyway. Disagreements are fine, but please please don't resort to personal insults and/or name calling. Mean people are not cool and harassment, intentionally inflammatory remarks, and bigotry will not be tolerated.

4. Privacy.
We'll respect yours. We won't give away or sell names, contact information, etc. Please do the same for your fellow community members.

5. SPAM. Don't.

6. Ads.
Part of the deal with using this wonderful, free online tool (ning.com) is that it has Ads running along the side. We can upgrade to a professional account, but it will cost $20 per month, so if it bothers you, be prepared to pony up.
