`GeneratingHype on letters, editing and GDship
^lovetodeviate
reports, August 30
reports, August 30An interview with ex-GD, writer, editor, fascinating person: `GeneratingHype. Here are some tidbits from the interview (which I recommend reading in full):
"Letters presuppose a sort of authenticity, and I truly believe that a story—no matter the form—needs to be authentic and believable.
"Sometimes I wish I had stories such as "I wrote my first published poem at three and a half!" or "I started writing stories at two!", but writing never came easy for me and is still not very easy for me.

The Use of Adverbs in Fiction Writing
=DarcKnyt
reports, August 29
reports, August 29Adverbs are the endangered species of the adult fiction world. They're frowned on like putting a Baby Ruth bar in a punch bowl at a wedding reception -- not a good idea. They're also indicative of weak writing ... but why? This article covers why adverbs are evil and what you can do to avoid using them.

reports, May 13, 2007WritersForArt Features - Issue 1
*WritersForArt is a club helping to link the literature community with the other art communities:
We would like to invite you all to become members of this delightful concept - that of using your literary skills to comment on artistic work in a creative manner, rather than the bog standard critique. A poem, a short ditty, a humorous anecdote or just a witty interpretation. These are the things that we encourage here.
We are very glad to present you our first selection of features.
Every featured artist is introduced by a comment of one of the Founders of WritersForArt and 4 thumbs representing the featured artist's gallery.
Traditional Art
Featured artist: *RSBoswell
Comment by *Amberlouie
"RSBoswell's 38-piece gallery provides a fantastic blend, paintings of scenery and every-day stills. These exceptional paintings depict a certain depth - a concept behind a concept. RSBoswell's work shows his expanse of skills and sensitive perception to the world."
Representative thumbs:
Digital Art
Featured artist: ~dazzled
Comment by *AbCat
"Dazzled first began submitting artwork in 2002, and submitted work sporadically over the next three years, culminating in the 'Adventures of Wulag', a beautiful series of digital pieces charting the escapades of Wulag the goblin. He still pops on to dA from time to time, and will certainly be there to appreciate any comments which come his way.
He also has a small site which is mostly for German speakers, but features more of his recent work."
Representative thumbs:
Artisan Craft
Featured artist: ~sojourncuriosities
Comment by *FelixT
"Our Artisan Craft feature sojourncuriosities is a very skilled jewellery artist. She has a variety of pieces in her gallery that are of different style, concept and colour. Her works include modern, elegant rings as well as classic, noble works. Also there are unique and interesting crafts of owls and dinosaurs, bikes and anchors. Overall the gallery can be a good inspiration as of its variety of themes and styles."

Community News111 The Best of August Visual Art!`karemelancholia
 reports, 1d 1h agoNow it's time for August 2008 Visual Art Features, many new art to discover! Don't forget that many artists need to be viewed, they deserve it! Fave Fave Fave! My main purpose in doing a monthly feature about (to my point of view) 'the best visual art' is to put in the same level as well wellknown artists and popular creations as unknown artists and under-exposed creations. Artists need to be supported. So don't be shy! Here's the Menu per Category : Digital Paintings & Drawings | Mixed Media | PhotoManipulations | 3-Dimensional | Vector & Vexels | Photography | Traditional Paintings & Drawings | Artisan Crafts 84 EVANESCENCE'S SONGS CONTEST*intano

Deviousness
With a gallery that takes you on a journey into another world, `spyroteknik has firmly secured a place as one of the top artists within our community. Always willing to participate in events as well as providing critique and guidance to members in such a humble yet inspiring manner is a quality which deserves recognition. So it's with great pleasure that we award this month's Deviousness to Martin Bland. Read More
