`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 delay in this issue is partly due to character restrictions in News Articles that I was not aware of. Lots of thanks to the Help Desk for clearing that up. And again, if there is any piece of writing you'd like to be brought to my attention, do not hesitate to ask, and I will not hesitate to answer.

The delay angered me severely. You can read my rant in my journals.

For the next issue, instead of surfing through categories, I shall instead search through the galleries of literature clubs to find my features. I think it's a good idea to get clubs in on the action.
