Critter Notices
Expanding Critters - Feedback Wanted
I've long planned to offer workshopping in more genres, both writing and in other creative areas. But there are lots of options how to do that... so I'd appreciate your thoughts. Please share your thoughts here, so I can keep them in one place. Thanks!
Notices Layout
So, lookie, I've moved the notices over here because of popular demand. Hope you like. Don't forget to look at them though!

Vote for Your Favorites!
I've launched a poll / reading list for your all-time favorite books, short stories, poems, poets, & authors, in each genre. Please vote and share the link. The more votes the better the scoring gets. Vote here...
Wishes for the Future
What do you want the future to hold? World peace? Self-driving cars? Share your dreams of the future, big or small, on the Wishes for the Future forum. What would you love to see? (It's part of my NewNewForum.com site. Meant to be fun, and it's anonymous, so don't be shy!)
