At my home page I've been doing a blog series on the Principles of Contracts. It's hard to ask for a better illustration of my point - that all freelance artists must be competent in contracts - than this story.

Pursuant to this post on my blog at jdsawyer.net, I'm officially opening The Great Ass-Moving Competition. You can find the forum on which the competition will proceed here. Enjoy!

I got the following questions from Joanna Penn of The Creative Penn blog and podcast about the purpose and direction of the association:

Q: In terms of education, will the Assn offer its own courses or will members be able to put their own up? e.g. can I submit my Blogging for Authors course? or is it all for free, in which case we could all submit our free resources - ebooks etc.

Welcome to the madness, everyone. As you can see, the site is still taking shape, so pull up a user account, post a forum topic, and let's get the conversation going :-)

As unceremonious as it must seem, this little entry is the inaugural post of what will hopefully become a tremendously fruitful endeavor for all present. My first question is to those of you interested in the association:
1) any of you good with Drupal?
2) what kind of articles/resources would benefit you most, soonest?
