Diurnal: Literary News & Announcements

Dalityapi message forum has been down for a week now. I've no idea if it's a technical problem on the part of the provider or if they've stopped the free service already. Anyway, the forums do not have a regular follower so I might as well take it down or change provider in a few days or so.

In the meantime, I am inviting my bard-brothers and sisters to join Awit Kayumanggi (Brown Song), a literary e-group.

You can also check out the PangalaTALK, a forum for Pangasinenses.
