And so who will keep the ping list? Or should we just drop in every day?

Second thought or thoughts;

1.)Let's keep the discussion on fiction. If we get into non-fiction writing, people get all wrapped up in political discussions. I have seen it happen on so many 'book' threads.

Besides, the craft of fiction is particular in its problems, such as creating chracters, plots, etc. and we could all help one another with that.

2.) Perhaps, like the 'word for the day' thread, we could propose a single line, and everyone is invited to take off on it. Such as:

He was driving past an abandoned factory when he saw a single red high heeled shoe drop from a broken window...'

Or whatever.

Would appreciate feedback on the above.

Gee I hope this thread gets going.

Eleutheria5 is right in that literature is being subjected to publisher's pressures for political correctness, and it is going to get worse in the election year of '08.

And also that you can hardly have a decent discussion with liberals howling and flaming.
