Introduction

The best way to learn, they say, is to teach. here we all learn and teach each other. Don't worry-no one can steal your ideas or information! They are useless without YOUR unique vision, passion and experience.

How can we find your personal web site, blog, FaceBook, Twitter...?

Very shortly I hope to introduce a few projects where each of us contribute something, e.g.: a short story, a poem, a recipe or some special insight or technique that writers can benefit from. When we have sufficient material we can shop it around!

Would you like to help organize group events? Do you have any particular ideas? In what kind of environments would you like to meetup with other area writers?

I have always been fascinated with words and every aspect of writing; derivations, language, grammar, syntax, debate, argument, humor, rhetoric, drama, thought, speech, expression, communication, publication, letterforms, fiction, drama, etc.

What else can you do? e.g.: teaching, illustration, calligraphy, photography, indexing, research, cover design, editing, proofreading, catering, etc.?

All that and more, (if sufficiently motivated)! I carry a camera (and spare batteries) with me at all times, as I've done for many years. Many of my photos have become very valuable in many surprising ways! Marketing of words is my Next Challenge!

Have you been published, are you self-published or are you hoping to get published? What type(s) of writing, or aspects of writing are you mainly interested in? Are you interested in collaborative projects?

Yes to all. I write well because I have to, but I need to learn to organize compelling concepts, characters, dialog, action plotlines and get published. One big problem: Too many ideas and projects.

How did you hear about the us? What do you most hope to gain from your participation in this group?

Trying to become a more organized and accomplished writer has led me to the wonders of Meetup. It has been a priceless treasure to meet and talk with all of you.

What Chris is saying about this Meetup Group

YOU WRITE BECAUSE IT's a hobby, a passion, a craft, an art, a compulsion, a form of therapy, a business, a dream, an escape, a promise, a story that needs to be told, a letter that needs to be sent, a screenplay that deserves to be produced, a novel that must be published, a collection of poems or stories that ought to be read, a manual that can help others, an inspiration that will enrich lives, a humorous way of looking at the world, a tragedy to learn a lesson from, or a million other possible reasons, but YOU WRITE! Now come join with your fellow writers and talk about writing. It will do you a world of good!

You must be signed in to post a Greeting.
