I am excited to be part of this group. I write poetry for the most part but would like to write my memoir. The writers I admire imbue their prose with poetic lines. It is very vivid visually and emotionally.
Here is a poem I just wrote yesterday. A…
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!

- About Me:
- I really enjoy writing poetry. I find it boundless and unrestricted. I would like to infuse my poetic style into a memoir. I have started writing it but am not consistent. Still not that disciplined about writing daily.
I am the last of six children. My father was an American Diplomat and my mother is Parisian. I was born in Ankara, Turkey and moved to a different country every 2 to 3 years. When I was eleven years old my family moved to Port-au-Prince Haiti and my parents never left. My father is deceased but my mother still lives there.
I live in San Diego with my husband, Bill Wechter, who is a staff photographer for the North County Times. We have a side business selling his nature/cultural photography.

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 would like to infuse my poetic style into a memoir."
Have you read Linda Hogan's "The Woman Who Watches Over the World" ? its a fantastic memoir, and her prose is poetic (she is also a poet). I highly recommend this book for inspiration.
