`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, October 3
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?

In here I see a healthy mix of both prose and poetry--but I don't identify which is which because I want you to check out these DD's without the bias of one or the other. Branch out! Try something new, take a chance ;p
There is an interesting trend: I’ve heard a lot of people say that the same people are suggesting DD’s and getting theirs picked! But look! There are only a couple of people with more than one DD picked and guys—they suggest a LOT.
What I do see is a lot of DD’s picked by GDs scouting out pieces themselves. (17 of them!!!!)
There’s a couple of reasons for this, one is that we /do/ read around the site and sometimes we stumble upon some really awesome stuff! The other is we’re not getting /really good/ suggestions.

So how can you fix this?
Suggest a DD!
But to who?
Well to be honest you have four generalist GD’s. However, we do have our favs.
^GeneratingHype digs nonfiction, letters, and life stories!
^lovetodeviate loves structured poetry
^StJoan digs transgressive, visual, and experimental
^LadyLincoln likes romance!

This isn’t an all inclusive list, far from it! In fact to be honest, we love literature so much that we’ll read anything!

BUT it is important to note that when you suggest a DD you only send it to ONE GD!
No sending it to all of us! It’s confusing and difficult for us if more than one person wants to feature it. Torture! We end up jello wrestling over it and not only is that a mess but we’re not getting paid for the bootlegged video!
Now, some of us have formats we’d prefer our DD’s in and I’ll include links to those guidelines.
However, it’s a safe bet to say that DD suggestions need to be sent in:
---Note form
---With a subject that indicated a DD suggestion
---With a link to the piece you want DD’ed
---With a short write up stating why you think the piece is shagadelic

:bulletpurple: Want to Send a DD suggestion to ^lovetodeviate Check out her shoutboard
:bulletpurple: Want to send a DD suggestion to ^GeneratingHype Read how to Here

Yeah ^LadyLincoln and I, we’re pretty much just happy to hear from you!

FAQ #873: What do I do when I disapprove of a Daily Deviation feature?
FAQ #18: Who selects the Daily Deviation and how is it chosen?

SUGGEST DDs To your LIT GDs!
