Writing. Art.

Hello there!!!

Did i ever tell you about the time i thought my left foot was the prince of wales?

I agree that visual artists seem to run away with all the glory on dA, but I also think there's a lot of exciting stuff going on in the litscene that's worth hanging around for. As a writer, you've got to put a lot of time into interacting with other writers anyway - I find here is as good a place as any - in fact, better than trying to work out some of these arts council-funded writing magazines stuck in an elitist rut.

Fuselit - pocket poetry and art, made with love and diligence!

Roundtable Review - reviews, articles and new writing in poetry, fiction, film, art and stage.

You asked why I'm leaving dA, so I thought I'd return for a few minutes today and give you an answer (it's as good as ever for procrastinating).

For one thing, the internet is kind of a boring place these days. I find I like real people a lot better than the ones represented only by text and emoticons.

And then dA is no place for writers, unless you really have a lot of time to put into the writing community, which I don't. I think you yourself are excellent proof of this, having received a DD (and being an excellent poet, to boot) and yet still having less than 2000 pageviews, whereas a visual artist would get far more under the same circumstances.

Mostly I felt as if I wasn't growing at all here anymore. It's one thing for random people to say that they enjoy my poetry, or to give me criticism, but it's entirely another to make a sale to a magazine. Being here allowed me to rest on my laurels, but I feel that it's time to put my writing out into the world.

Have I done that yet? No, of course not. But I hope to eventually.

Dunno how clear all of that was, I'm a little distracted right now (but isn't everyone, always?).

I just wanted to say thanks very much for your thoughts on my pantoums. You are very talented and I really appreciate any words of praise coming from you.

If it wasn't for the fact that I'm leaving the site, you'd definitely be added to my devwatch!

You are very welcome my friend .

Most welcome for the favs - your artistic production is appreciated.

My poet's handbook, Copyright 1940, by Clement Wood (A great little book my sister found for me in a thrift store) gave me the lowdown on the Pantoum.

Since you requested it, dear
I'll make an effort, though
I admit I'm out of practice, so
it may take a bit of time.

See you on the other side.

Thank you very much Kirsty!
Glad to know you had a great chuckle.

I think the speech bits are where it crumbles a little, but I couldn't do it any other way.
