- About Me:
- I am a filmmaker and a professor of film and television production at a local college. For a number of years I've worked in non-fiction (documentary film) but my other love is fiction which I'm now endeavoring to pursue. I've been described as an "enlightened spirit" who is "down to earth".
Give me a shout if you are interested.
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.

I'm a freelance writer (magazine articles, website content, marketing) by trade but am working on creative non-fiction (memoir) right now. I belonged to a memoir writing group in Coronado that recently dissolved. It would be nice to get a Chula Vista read-and-critique group going. I'd certainly be interested.
I'm writing nonfiction and creative memoir. What type of writing partnership are you looking for?
Cheers!

Yes, I would be. I am writing nonfiction and poetry, with the hope of expanding outside of that. I am new at this, but very motivated. I'm also a professor, though of psychology (cognitive neuroscience).
Are you in Eastlake or downtown?
