Looking for a Collaborator and Other Sundries

Wed Sep 23, 2009, 6:00 PM
Hey all.

The move went great and I've got a lot of time to focus on writing. An article I'm writing for Johnn Four's amazing and widely-read RoleplayingTipsWeekly ezine will show up sometime in the coming weeks, which is awesome.

Update. I snagged the runner-up place in *DailyLitDeviations 's "Clouds" contest ([link] ), with [link] . Enough self-pimping. See below for more contests I am considering entering.

Also, NaNo is eerily close. I'm gonna win this year! (note: for NaNo, that means actually meeting the goal). Who else is interested?

Someone want to collab on a piece of poetry (or poetry with a photograph in the background) with the excellently vague topic of "2+ emotions" for [link] ? They are low on entries, which means that even though there's only 5 days left to submit the odds are good! Let me know ASAP.

Contests I have entered or am thinking about entering:

Several Here: [link]

Hi! I'd just like to thank you for voting for me in =PoetryPlease's contest Smoke and Mirrors.
So... thanks!

No problem. You deserved it!

Everywhere I go I'm asked if the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher. --Flannery O'Connor
:iconbeaple:
I plan on replying to your three latest replies.

Just not now.

Last night I made an anti-copyright post in the Complaints forum, which quickly morphed into a discussion about What is Art? and spent 4 hours defending my stance that absolutely anything can be art.

My back and fingers hurt.
