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 was just looking at my previous conversations. It looks like I completely forgot to thank you for the advice you gave me a couple of weeks ago. Anyhow, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to look at my site. I am still working on it, but it looks much better now.

Just wanted to stop in and get your opinion on my latest cover design posted to my blog...
I would love your input.

We do not argue, defend, explain "why" something might not be working; just absorb the information and learn from it. We have all been in groups that play nice with writers and found them lacking. If you join, and Michael will be the one to decide this, you are welcomed wholeheartedly. The three of us who have been together the longest, have published. That doesn't mean we are hot shot writers...just that we got something out there and it saw print! Looking forward to meeting you in September.
i sent a note to michael. he said there is no opening until sep 17 or 18. he appears to be quite busy.
every other wednesday...when does the group meet next?
how many in the fallbrook group?
what should i do to prepare?
hope to see you in sep
tom
