I could seriously use a writing buddy

I write screenplays, novels, and short stories. I would love to have a writing friend to bounce ideas off of. Sometimes I need an opinion on an idea, and I will gladly do the same.

I write romance, comedy and thriller-type stories. I'm not good with fantasy or sci-fi, sorry.

I would like to be able to trade emails and possibly set up goals each week. I don't have anyone to answer to right now, and I tend to go off in different directions. I'd like to finish one thing completely, and have someone to talk to if I need advice on my story or support, and I will do the same. If interested, please email me and we'll see if we can help each other.

:)

I would love to be a "bouncer-offer". I don't really have any qualifying expertise. I have a bunch of poetry I've workshopped in AW. I have one completed short personal story, a first novel about half way through the initial writing and a second short story completed and ready for editing.

Mostly, I write poetry. I've only recently launched into more serious writing. I have 3 or 4 memoirs in AW, also.

If you're looking for a good listener, I would love to!

Hi Dusty,

I'm in San Diego, I like your sense of humor (as displayed in your profile at least ;) ), and am also looking for a writing buddy. It sounds like you have an insurance story of your own. I have a 3 1/2 year old son who was diagnosed with diabetes a month and a half ago and we are finally putting to bed the insurance fiasco that ensued.

Ideally I'm looking for someone that I can coauthor something with, but I'm also open to friends that keep you to your goals. BIC etc. I have two WIPs of my own as possibilities if you're looking to coauthor. One project is a couple short kids books based on the bedtime stories I tell my kids. My other project is a very not-kids book that's action/fantasy genre. The general plot is sort of Harry Potter for adults (good and evil wizards at war), with relationships from my own life, and atmosphere sort of X-Files-like fantasy/horror. I can send you a synopsis on either WIP if they sound interesting to you, though I'd like to hear what you're working on too.

I'm pretty happy to do idea bouncing, though I'm usually only available through AIM and MSN.
