There’s something about inspiration, about the supposed “gift” from a muse. I know she means well, but does she ever think of how inspiration feels to humans?

Does anyone else find it hard to go back to writing short stories after laboriously writing and perfecting a novel? There was a time when I did nothing but short stories and poetry, now I can speed up the plot to save my life. I've developed too str…

It is fear, it is terror at losing the incredible thoughts you have before putting them to use.
It is indescribably joy at the rush of feelings within you, wonder at being able to conceive such a thing, and being able to hold momentary mastery over that thing you love so much.

About
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.
