Introduction

Hi- I'm a wannabe writer, working a science fiction novel, have attended Lyda Morehouse's Loft class (and Faith Sullivan's Loft weekend retreat). Working as an electrical engineer.

What sort of stories do you write? And if you have anything published, tell us about it (even if it's not SF.) We love to hear about all your successes.

Hard science fiction, character driven (but enough rivets, gizmotrons and thrills to satisfy those who thirst for same). Un-published, looking forward to fame and glory--although money would be nice.

What brings you to the SF Writers Meetup? Is there anything that you hope the group will do for you?

Looking for a group to share work product with and to lend another ear to other writers' work.

What Pat Sullivan is saying about this Meetup Group

Nice mix of newbies and highly skilled writers with a supportive atmosphere.

You must be signed in to post a Greeting.

    Protecting your bits and bytes

    "There was a Session at WisCon that was focused on tools, and it included quite a lot of discussion of different people's backup techniques. (You would be sad, wouldn't you, if all your files disappeared one day...?)..."

    How to read out loud

    "Quite a nice post. Please step to the front of the class more often. Even better, why go to the back at all?"
