You’re probably asking yourself, why should I enter this contest? Aren’t there hundreds out there?
For starters, the winner of the contest gets $1000. Not bad for a single short...
Play with Words at Flower Hill Mall
June 19, 2008 from 7pm to 9pm
Meet the Muse at the table in the middle of Book Works at the Del Mar Flower Hill Mall for another adventure in word play, easy creativity, characters emerging or evolving, and dormant ideas excavated.
To celebrate another Spring turning into Sum...
Really? So a best-selling author says he or she can teach you the secrets of his or her success? For how much money? And how can he or she assure that your book(s) will be as successful as HE or SHE SAYS their books are?
Please note, I'm not talk...
I used to go to this little place called the Secret Cafe in FL. First time writers and poets would share their work, support and critique each other in a fun and friendly environment.
Welcome to that place online. My Secret Cafe. Grab a cup!

- Marketing guru by day, writer, sister, friend MFA student the rest of the time. Currently working on a memoir. And of course the volunteer host of this forum.
Ever so grateful for Judy Reeves-- attended my first writing workshop in the early '90s at the old Writing Center downtown.
I was a regular at First Fridays (prose at The Grove) hosted by Amy Wallen. Being limited to 3 mintues made me a better editor. And afraid of the beep....
Also grateful to Jill Badonsky, (of The Muse Is In) who reminds me that writing can be fun. Third Thursdays at Bookworks at the Flower Hill mall in Del Mar.

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.

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.

Here's one example of a military sci fi story I recently finished: http://www.scribd.com/doc/14858721/Letters-From-a-Distant-Star
Thanks for the mention. There is definitely room for DimeStories growth, and I know Amy appreciates all of the help and plugs.
The site itself is wonderfully functional. Thanks.
