`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.”

October / November ProsePrompt

*ProsePlease:iconProsePlease: reports, October 12, 2007
It's time for a new ProsePrompt! :dance:

Last month's prompt inspired ~hello-im-NICKK, ~passionatelyhated, ~PunkPygmiePuff and =jimboistic to produce some amazing prose, which can be found featured on the prompt page of our journal. What are you waiting for? There are no limitations or deadlines, and its a great opportunity to gain positive feedback and exposure. Participation equals points so flex that gray matter ;)

OCTOBER/NOVEMBER PROMPT

Think of a body part, any body part. Does to move? Voluntarily or involuntarily? Can you live without it? Can it live without you? This is your main character. Write a story using the characteristics of the body part you chose (in any way you want) to develop your main character. e.g Kidneys can become twins...your big toe can become the oldest child in a family of ten.

Not quite sure how to tackle this one? Head on over to the ProsePrompt Archive and check out some other great prompts.

For our nonmembers out there, and those members that have forgotten :sherlock:

HOW DO I SUBMIT MY STORY?

Note the club with "(month) ProsePrompt Submission" and a LINK to the work. It's that easy!

Every submission will be read and commented on by the Section Coordinator so feel free to write your heart out.

This prompt was not in any way intended to mimic the writing style of Chuck Palahniuk or to engender responses in that style. You are free to identify with it in whatever manner you wish as this is your right as an individual, however I would urge you to reconsider this hasty generalization as it is in my opinion extremely limited.

The prompt does not request that the response be written from the perspective of the body part, nor that the body part be mentioned at all in the prose. There are so many ways to expand from this. Nevertheless these prompts are not meant for commercial use and are harmless attempts at inspiring prose. We don't aim to glorify the group or seek credit for someone else's work.

In the future perhaps you can be a little more polite in voicing your opinion. I apologize that this prompt offended you but stand firm in this.

Sincerely
-dispz

no worries mate because I had completely forgotten about Fight Club prior to your comment and having analysed it I do see where your coming from.

make it up to me by taking on this challenge of not making it just another palahniuk rip-off ;)

Hmm, this might be interesting.
I'm not so sure I'll do this one, only because body parts and me are not friends. :P

But who knows, maybe I'll try it.
