Show Me Your Homeland In the course of an unfortunately brief chat with bewareofthesnowman this evening, I asked him to write me a poem about Wales so I could see it through his eyes.
It occurred to me then that there are so many places in the world I've never been, as I've always been too poor or too busy to travel, and got the idea to ask you guys to help me see where it is that YOU live!
I'd love to be able to see it through your eyes, to sense and experience something unique about your homeland.
Will you show it to me? I'd love to be an armchair traveller.
How To Enter 
Note me a link to a poem or piece of short prose specifically about the place where you live. -- Make sure to put either PROSE or POETRY in the subject line!
I'd like to experience it as if I was there. I'll be judging this on how well your writing evokes a sense of your homeland, so make sure to really capture something of its essence. Guidelines PROSE: 1500 words or less.
POETRY: 1500 words or less.
DEADLINE: January 25 Prizes Sorry, I can only afford to offer prizes for first place in both prose and poetry.
Any prize donations will be gratefully recieved!Best each of prose AND poetry win:
a 3-month subscription each a 3-month feature in my journal shoutbox.Good luck!
Thank you - and an apology
Thanks so much (belatedly) for all the birthday cheers, dear people-- I was reading, if not posting, and it was lovely reading your messages. :)
And also, I'm so sorry I've been absent -- I know I had plans with some of you, and the whole CommunityLit (https://www.deviantart.com/communitylit) thing, and I hope I haven't let anyone down too badly. Things are better for me now, and I'm back on a more regular basis, so please do poke me if you need anything, or want to continue a project, or just say 'hi'.
I see some of you have been really busy writing/creating. I can't wait to catch up on all of it! <3
If there's something you're really proud of, do leave me a link in co
Happy Holidays!
Dear dA friends and loved ones, I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday. I am revelling in post-Christmas day food bloat and deep relaxation, the weather is lovely, and all is well. May your day be as blessed.
I'm really looking forward to 2019 -- I've a couple of exciting plans and, more importantly, the energy to carry them out.
What are your plans for the coming year?
Winners of Slinkyfest. And what Jon-Law said.
^ awesome.
:bulletred: What Jon-Law (https://www.deviantart.com/jon-law) Said
The godfather of Lit himself popped into CommunityLit yesterday, and said a thing that really helped me get perspective on this place.
I have to paraphrase, sorry, but basically the gist was, "Quit worrying about dA's problems - stfu and write".
Sometimes one just needs to be told these things, you know?
So, more energy will go to awesome projects like CommunityLit (https://www.deviantart.com/communitylit) (where a real sense of community is slowly but surely developing, thanks to a great bunch of chat regulars) and the various things run by other worthwhile Lit groups ---- and ofc, there'll be writing.
And if dA wants to let i
