[Bards] The Right Questions

[John Hirling]

Whether justifiably or not, I consider myself a bit of a documentation maven
and while original pieces present a slightly greater challenge than a
primary or secondary source period piece, they are by no means all that
difficult to document.  I recommend starting with the judging forms -- old,
proposed and Gulf Wars -- and asking yourself how you would answer the
criteria if they were questions rather than statements.  If that doesn't
help, feel free to contact me off list.
