Hi Ric
What would be the chances of having a section included on your main site with tips on writing bush poetry?
I know that you have a link to Ellis Campbells tips on APBA site on your links pages (see, we do look around your main site!!)  Smiley
However, your site is so easy to navigate that a similar section here should go down well.
If so, you maybe could also include details on books etc, which are available to help new writiers, such as the book Glenny spoke about in one of her posts (Carmel Rundle), and where they are available from. Maybe, you could even include details of any workshops that are being held. (You have Glenny to help you now, and I hear she runs very good workshops!  Smiley )

This would help to ensure that new writers know and understand the fundamentals for writing traditional aussie bush poetry, and thus ensure the continuation of this art.  And perhaps it could also be a section where the experienced poets who regularly post on your site could add tips of their own, as Croc did in the bush poetry general section earlier.

I know I would really enjoy and learn from such a section, as would many others who visit your site.

I know you are a busy man, but .......... we'll love you for it!

Ric,
I'm impressed!! How good is that for service?
However, I received an email today that suggested you might have been planning to put it on anyway! And here was I thinking you were just extra efficient!! Lol Smiley (Have to put this in manually because my emoticons wont work)

Thanks - just what the experts ordered!!
