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.

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, 19h 39m 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 69 It's not just stock, it's DeviantART stock`pendlestock

Drowning in secrets and the lies
Subconscious whispers
Exist between hollow words
And empty sighs~
