Hi, there!

Have something to write?

I'm just one person out of many here.

Let's all contribute and make this a fun FORUM!

We can have SERIOUS threads, and we can have FUNNY threads.

1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example:
“Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked.
“Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed.
The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.

Did this forum finally open? Excellent!

I'll be checking in regularly to see what's going on. Maybe you guys should do an author promo thread here, where authors can post their most recent publication?

Are SERIOUSLY FUNNY and FUNNILY SERIOUS threads permissible?

We were also hoping for mysteriously eery and eerily mysterious posts.

Way to go, pilotbob!

About this FORUM: My take ---

This is a Forum by and for members of MobileRead. No one "owns" this forum, and the success and impact to MobileRead and to you is entirely up to YOU.

The possibilities for discussion - of sharing one's writing, of FRIENDLY debate, of engaging in intellectual ideas concerned with sharing and growth - are endless.

The creation of this Forum, for me personally, is the best news on MobileRead that I've seen since joining. This is more exciting than the time a circle of rain fell heavily only on me and didn't touch a single friend standing next to me. That's how important this is to me on a personal level, and no one's topic or thread - as long as it fits within the definitions of this Forum - will be silenced. Your thoughts and contributions are important.

As a writer who spends a good deal of time self promoting, I am extremely psyched about this new forum.
