Introduction

My name is Cynthia Coles and I have been working on my memoir for the past 3 years. It chronicles my earlier life as a black female geek, before Urkel.

We have all types of writers in our group! What kind of writing do you do? (Poems, Fiction, Non-fiction, Articles, Blogs, etc.)

I write poems and memoir. I will be starting a blog this year.

Some days it's tough to stick with it... what motivates you to keep writing?

I like to go to art galleries and museums. That can usually get my creative juices flowing.

Have you ever been published before, or are you just getting started in the writing world?

I was a writer and editor on my college paper and I write technical documentation on the job. But I am just getting into creative writing, for fun.

To help us keep our group informative and useful, please tell us what do you hope to gain from joining our group?

I need the feedback and critique. I would expect honesty, but not bitchy criticism.

Are you a member of any other writing groups? If so, which ones?

I used to go to a writer's group that disbanded. Hence, I am looking for a new forum. I do attend Cliterati at Charis fairly regularly for open poetry readings.

Hi there,
I drove down to Florida last years for the Discovery (alleged) last launch. It was cancelled the day I arrived and I missed it, bummer! Did you get to see any launches?

Hi, I am wondering where you meet and what is the topic you are studying. I would like to attend home groups in the area. I certainly will be the older one in the group...lots and lots of life experience.

Cynthia, let me offer a long-overdue welcome to you. We were glad to meet you last month and look forward to more geektastic events in the future. I know there's a huge interest in the book swap idea (sounds like you've got lots of great tomes) and many are intrigued by the ROCKY HORROR idea. We'll figure something out soon. That's AWESOME that you're working on a graphic novel memoir--are you the illustrator as well? Look forward to seeing you soon.

Thanks for the info. I'm sure you'll be accepted, and maybe you and I can co-host the idea, if not a whole lot of folks are up for it.
