I am an aspiring writer with a full time job completely unrelated to my writing so I hope we can all use this group to discuss living the writing life and maybe create a small online community of local writers who might not get to meet otherwise.
This is a group for writers of all levels to socialize, network, and get to know each other. This is not a critique group.
Profile Information
- Type of Writing You're Interested In (choose all that apply!)
- Fiction, Sci Fi
- About Me:
- I am a beginning writer who has just completed her first novel length book. I work a full time day job and write in between so it took some time to reach my dream of writing my first book. Now I'm editing over and over hoping to polish it to a shine that makes the publishers take a look. Think good thoughts for me.
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.
