Hello.
Recently I followed an AW member's signature line link to an interesting blog post on, very roughly speaking, what constitutes a working writer. I shared the link/post with a poet friend of mine who emailed me a stirring rebuttal. To my eyes, the combination of the two disparate viewpoints, side by side, is stunning.
I would like to start a new thread, with both posts in their entirety. Presumably permission would be needed? The poet said his words were now my words, his gift to me and to where I would display them. Which leaves the AW member. Even though his signature link directs a reader to his post, he would need to actually post the words, or might a PM granting his approval be sufficient? I would certainly attribute both writers' content.
I think this is a topic rife for discussion, and these two viewpoints offer an excellent beginning.
Also, which AW Forum do you suppose?
