`SparrowSong on writing, critique and her passions

^lovetodeviate:iconlovetodeviate: reports, September 28
An interview with writer, critic (critiquer?), lit senior, `SparrowSong. Here are some tidbits:

“I like that my passions change. If nothing else, it gives me more to write about.”

“Everyone has heard the expression, ‘Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.’ If you don’t learn to critique, you will always be dependent on others to help you instead of being able to do it by yourself.”

“Art changes how we view the surface of the world to reveal truth or beauty—or both—underneath.”

The Uncreativity Experiment

~StoneAnnexCipher:iconStoneAnnexCipher: reports, February 2, 2007
On February 4th (Sunday), #Uncreativity will be hosting the Uncreativity Experiment.

The object of this activity is to get a group of people together to retype books of poetry word for word in the chatroom.

Participants may enter the room at any time on February 4th. Once in the room, all participants should type from whatever book of poetry they have chosen and may do so at their leisure. Hellos and sidechat will not be tolerated if they become a repeated offense.

The results of the Uncreativity Experiment will receive a limited posting time and the location of the final copy will be presented in a news article following the experiment.

This was inspired by: [link]

This sounds pretty cool. It's a shame discussion of said poems isn't allowed, though.

Putting them into a news article (if that's what you're doing) after the event is a bit dodgy insofar as copyright is concerned, but it shouldn't be a big deal I guess. Just add a disclaimer saying something like 'if any poet has a problem with their poem(s) being here, they will be removed' or whatever.
