I'm thinking one would need to have a spray can of WD-40 handy.

How often would an oil change be required?

Depends on frequency of use. Ten years for me, I would imagine three weeks for you. LOL

Hello TD!

Although I am a very poor writer, I think this is a fabulous idea.

I would be very interested to read material offered by the many talented and gifted people on this board.

(I also think Blixa's post above are some really cool ideas to consider)

Looking forward to it! :)

Peace,
Ceeboo

LOL! You are giving me too much credit!

So many images I would like to post here. Primarily Daryl Hannah in "Blade Runner" (a nexus 6 basic pleasure model).

I'd probably be too nervous to submit anything, but could learn from the comments of others.

I usually just wait for Runtu to correct me.

I imagine there would be plenty of us willing to submit as long as there are soft restraints and safe words. Just say KEP and everyone must suspend their disbelief.

I'm thinking there could be all sorts of threads...

There could be critiques, some threads sharing tips to improve writing, some on grammar, (for Shades...LOL), some for resources, (Runtu posted some good books that I must pick up).

There could be threads for cool quotes that people come across, or perhaps ideas for publishing, or, wait, how about worst writing ever? :-)

How about a spelling thread?

We could have a thread where all our experts share some of their best writing.

What about a thread helping us amateurs with common mistakes?

A Pet Peeve thread? I mean a writer's Pet Peeve thread!

Just thinking out loud here!

:-)

Wood-eye be willing two doo that? Submit my articles for review/ critic? People might laugh at my simple use of the English language. Or thay might sea the pure genius of my prose? One thing is sure:

As a writer we work with words and words are our work. Count me in!
