`SparrowSong on writing, critique and her passions
^lovetodeviate
reports, September 28
reports, September 28An 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
reports, October 3
reports, October 3Since 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?

I SPY News & ENTRY LIST
*salshep
reports, March 3
reports, March 3Here’s the list of I SPY entrants, and a very good turnout we had!
And here I'd like to thank the Admin and GD's who put such a tremendous amount of time and effort into supporting and promoting this dA-wide comp. My gratitude, believe me, is quite proportionate to your efforts.
BUT OHNOES!!!!!!
There have been serious problems with the comp categories.
YES- all kinds of problems. The whole I SPY category actually disappeared for a while, and entries have been popping up and disappearing all over. High oddness, and obviously a coding issue that is hopefully now resolved.
BUT NEVER FEAR!
My motto of the day is: “When dA gives you lemons -- make some writers WORK HARDER!”
To make sure all the category bumps have been ironed out, ALL YOU GUYS who entered get an extra FOUR DAYS to get your work POLISHED UP before the judges get hold of it.
Four whole days!
So get your butts into #underlit, #prose please, #damnlit, any of the crit chats, go hassle the writers you admire, get your teachers, parents, friends to read it through, and SPELLCHECK, and whatever you need to do to get your entry looking its best.
You have until THURSDAY March 6.
Then the lists will be mailed off to our lovely judges, who get to relax and lounge about looking gorgeous for a little bit longer.
Judges will have two weeks to make their decisions, from where I will divvy up the HUGE prize pool.
____
IMPORTANT: if you submitted to I SPY before the FEB 29 closing date, and your work is NOT on this list, please note me ASAP!
Those who didn’t submit might like to take a read through these entries-- a LOT of excellent reading to be had here!

 reports, 14h 59m agoNow it's time for September 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! Visit their pages, support them by faving, commenting, and when you see a deviation that you like also view their gallery entirely, like that you can decide if you will devwatch them or not. Viewing only a deviation (what is great) is not enough  And if you want to see your favorite visual artists or art selected to be in this feature for the next month, send me via note the links/thumbs!  You can see the previous features here, in the Index i've created!76 Fantastic Photography With Under 30 Faves III~mentaldragon

Deviousness
`arcipello's artwork is instantly recognisable. His vibrant colours and sci-fi scenes are breathtaking at times, pulling you into a world where man and machine live in colourful harmony.
An inspiration to many, Daniel's dedication to his craft is evident throughout his gallery, with many of his beautiful prints hanging on walls across the globe. In recognition as being one of the most successful artists in our deviantART community, we're delighted to award this month's Deviousness Award to `arcipello Read More

And here, I'm putting a shameless plug for SOUNDZINE just because I can.
Soundzine proudly features many deviantART writers and artists, and encourages exposure of their work not only to the wider population of the world OUT THERE, but also to those publication editors and well-known and successful writers among the many thousands who make up our readership (or listenership? o.O ).
We are now accepting submissions to Issue 5. Like all good lit publications, we are fussy-- but we also love to feature new writers, and those inexperienced with the publication process. You wizened old published folks are also more than welcome to send us in your prose and poetry, too.
Check out our Submission Guidelines!

I accept your thanks.
Really, I find your thanks to be one of your most admirable acts to date. We look forward to helping your projects be just as much of a success in the future. In addition, and on a personal note, I would like to thank you for agreeing to participate in the International Women's Week activities, you being such a pillar of the literature community and strong female role model for the young ladies on dA. It's unfortunate that you agreed to the interview only to have personal issues come up, as I am certain you would have had valuable things to contribute to help those children on dA you are always so commendably concerned with. It would've been something else, I'm sure.
Bill
Get your pieces critiqued, folks! It's a fine opportunity to learn how to improve yourselves--something we should all strive to do.

I read your journal on poetry.com and you seem like a just person, but this doesn't seem just.
