`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.”

Angsty Literature Club

*Matadi:iconMatadi: reports, 2d 17h ago
Since there is not much we are afraid of in the days of speeding optic cables, no need to talk sincerely since we do wear the egoist, shiny mantle of a digital avatar, why there is still "love" the most search after word on dA? We do have the need to touch and be touched,to smile,not often even cry, we are thirsty of eachothers footsteps in the sacred place called emotion.Living to tell we are so fragile, living to tell we are so strong,living to tell...

Take a rest, from time to time,step back and look around you,
catch what you see in a word.
what will it be?

2nd Feature

STAFF:

:iconpunknera::iconsynith::iconquitelife00::iconhi-mi-tsu::iconvix0r::iconinsomaniac55::iconsurrfant::iconabcat::iconthenakedlunch::iconwolfbiter:

The Favorites Project does not currently have any staff openings, but remember, even if you're not on staff, you can always participate. Simply note us with a link in the body to a poem that you think deserves to be featured. The staff will vote on your suggestion and if a majority of the staff agrees with you, that piece will be featured (and you, of course, will be credited with the find).

A FINAL THANK YOU:

Last but not least, thank you to all our watchers. You have showed your dedication to giving all of our features some well deserved love and attention. Thank you all!

Lol. I like the way I'm being credited with the 'find'. This piece found me as it happens, when the deviant in question approached me in #dalit and asked me to look at that piece. It's one of those works which I regard myself as privileged to have read. It must have been my lucky day. :~)
