The internet has opened up worlds of possibilities. Now people can collaborate continent to continent. I'm trying to get writers to get together on the forum on my website (www.makinstuffup.net) to do the same thing folks do here on JPF. This is fantastic to be able to share ideas with folks around the world. And, nothing would thrill me more than to facilitate getting some talented folks cookin' up some great cross-continental musical stew. Brian has created such an amazingly hospitable place for writers to commune. Hat's off to Brian!

That said, it doesn't replace sitting across the table from an incredibly talented and inspired co-writer. But, great new opportunities abound in the digital and virtual worlds.
