Texture Your World ContestTell us the story of your world in textures!
We are surrounded 24 hours a day by objects that have texture, they may be smooth or bobbly, old or new, bold, bright, shiny or dull. You might see a texture every day and never notice it until you start looking. Do you sit at a desk that's textured, or pass an interesting tree on the way to work or school?
We want you, in the form of a triptych (thats 3 images forming a larger image see example here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triptych ) to tell us the story of your textured world. Each individual texture should stand on its own, both as a useful resource and as a cohesive part of the whole story. What story you tell through your texture triptych is up to you - but they must be textures that tell a story of your world in some way.
There are 3 categories for this contest, each of which you can submit to twice.
Digital stock
These are textures created digitally by

Publishing Resources ListMake sure you

the news article!
So you've written something freaking awesome. You've edited a million times (and if you haven't, turn around and go do that. Right now). You think you maybe want to take the leap and try publishing something. But you have no idea where to start.
Well, this is a good place to be.
This the journal where I'll be keeping a running list of all the publishing resources I find, both on and off dA. Most of it will probably be related to literary journals, since that's the stage where I'm at in my literary career, but I'll add things about book publishing as I find them.
If you ever find a great resource, or if you'd like to request something specific, please leave me a note in the comments.
Also this journal is probably going to be super-messy and slightly badly-categorized for the first few weeks, so if anything looks out of place and/or you can think of a better way for me to organize this, please

Poetry Self-Edit ChecklistPoetry Self-Edit Quick Start Guide and Checklist

Introduction

The idea behind this is to give newer poets a way to better edit their poetry themselves, without having to rely as much on an external editor. It can be frustrating, especially for new poets to request feedback from a friend, or worse, to post a poem, and have all of the responses be about grammatical errors and other details. We write poetry to convey ideas and emotions, and when something is off technically about the poem it distracts the reader. When a reader is distracted enough to notice an error or other problem it means they might spend th

List of Useful Writing BlogsDon't forget to fave the news article for this list here!

08.02.2012 Oh look, shiny massive update of new writing blogs! Now including poetry and some other interesting bits and bobs, so scroll down and enjoy. I would have added more, but I would never have gotten any sleep at the rate I was going. Ahem. So I've been feeling the itch to post news articles on these writing blogs again, but I'm not sure whether there's enough interest for me to start doing them again. For anyone who's new to this list and what I used to do in the past, here's an example right here: http://julietcaesar.deviantart.com/journal/Useful-Writing-Blogs-1-The-Creative-Penn-214242246 When I used to do them, I actually caught the attention of some of these bloggers on Twitter who thanked me personally for featuring them on deviantART, which was equally surprising and humbling for me. But it's you guys I'm more concerned about. Would you be interested if

The Breaking Point: End-stopping and EnjambmentIntroduction
The most noticeable difference between poetry and prose is often the use of line breaks in poetry. When the line break comes at the end of a phrase, sentence, or clause, the line is end-stopped. End-stopped lines often end with punctuation like periods/full stops, commas, semi-colons, and colons. When the line break disrupts the phrase, sentence, or clause, the line is enjambed. The French word enjambement, from which 'enjambment' is derived, means 'straddling,' and appropriately, the phrases straddle two or more lines.
End-Stopping
The first four lines of Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18" are an example of end-stopped lines:
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Walt Whitman also uses end-stopped lines in "Song of Myself (I)":
I Celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,

30 days/30 comments project

by ~WorldWar-Tori, Aug 30, 2010, 2:24:18 PM
Journals / Culture / Projects

September is here which means school is starting or already has started. What does that mean for dA? There's a lull in activity while everyone gets things straightened out. But, fear not, as I have a project for you anyhow!

I'm sure some of you have heard about `Little-Vampire's 1 decent comments per day project he had/has going for himself... well, this is sort of like that!

The details...
The Idea
Leave on decent comment a day for 30 days.

The Challenge
Find a deviation with less than 10 original comments (cool, pretty, awesome,

, ect. do not count as original comments.)

Having trouble finding deviations to comment? I have a folder with only deviations that are in need!

Under 10 Comments Folder

The Rules
Make a journal for this project. Write the dates and as the day goes by, like your commented deviation.
(i.e. 01.September.2010 > [link])

Other Stuff
*****I'm participating, what do I do now?
Send me a note or comment on my journal with a link to your project journal so I can add you to the list of participants.

*What is a 'decent comment'?
If you're not sure what to write or how to write a decent comment, please see #ProjectComment's article A Guide To Commenting. Decent and constructive comments don't have to be a full length critique. Just a bit more than "ZOMG. Soooo prettty!"

*Do you have a deviation you'd like some comments on?
Send me a note and I will add it to the folder!

*If I miss a day, can I make it up later?
You can do whatever you want! Say you miss September 8th, on September 9th comment on two and link two there.
(i.e. 08.September.2010 > n/a
09.September.2010 > [link] & [link])

*Can I do more than 1 a day?
Of course! If you'd like to make this project 30 days/90 comments, go for it! We encourage it.

*Can I start later?
You can start whenever. If you start on September 12th, go to October 12th. You can start this in 3 years if you want to.
If you want to be in the running for the prizes though, please start by September 10th and finish on October 10th. Prizes will be handed out on the 15th.

*I have questions!
ASK ME!

The Prizes
_{(since this is not a 1st, 2nd, 3rd place situation, prizes will be random, but everyone will get one!)}
feature for everyone who participates
25 - 50 points
10 - constructive comments/critiques
3 - postcards from ~WorldWar-Tori's gallery

If you'd like to donate prizes to this project, please note me!
