Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.

Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Something I have posted on my journal and in the forums. Being bored and lacking sleep, something spurred inside of me after seeing that "cat in a bin" story (and its thread).

RoF art feature #30

It’s still possible to get a long way into photography without going an Arts Academy, on any level, but you need lots of experience, and you need to be open to learn at every bend of the way. Many bends may contain a bookstore or a library though. Seeing the work and reading the ideas of good and not-so-good photographers may drastically cut the load of experience needed to get on any level and safe you from re-inventing the wheel on numerous occasions.
