Can we have a "songwriting" section of the workshop?

[JLT]

On the old forum, we had a section for songwriting. It's a sort of subset of "Poetry," I guess, but as a genre it follows different rules and usually a different context in performance, so it deserves a playpen of its own. Is this something we can put on this new forum?

Also discuss poetry, too?

Yes to both eventually, like anything else forums follow content… If we get a lot of songs there’ll be a songwriting board, if there a bunch of stories about fork trucks we’ll have a fork truck forum ( well may be not but you know what I mean)

So where do we post those songs for starters? In the poetry section?

Also discuss poetry, too?

There already is a Poetry subdivision of the forum:

I think TGNA is asking where we can post discussions about poetry - the writing of, the forms and techniques, not where we will necessarily discuss individual member-composed poetry.

I guess they can just go into the Writing Discussions forum.

That is correct. I didn't know if there would be just a forum/area separate for poetry.

we had a poets corner on the OG site but interest was very low... like anything else it depends on interest, for now put them in the writing discussions forum... i'll add a prefix for poetry (ETA prefixes for poetry and lyrics added)

thats a good point actually we don't have a general workshop space... fuck it, i'll add a song writing section now, back in a minute
now here https://writingforum.org/forums/song-writing.43/

Thanks! And I've just posted a song there. I'm thinking of posting songs that I'd put on the "other" forum as well, for those who weren't members there but are on this one, but I don't know if that's allowed here.
