It's up to us to appropriate the technology. 2. Don't worry about schedules . you contribute when you want; but you are encouraged to make a commitment to a minimum contribution - say once a week - of poetry, prose, lyrics, essays, art, photography, or just thoughts or ideas. Anything goes, but: 3. No cheating by going back and digging up old stuff that your online audience may not have seen. If you don't have anything ready by your own self-imposed deadline, this is when you will be most likely to create something surprising and original. This is a community of support for artistic expression and growth. 4.
