Oh Geez

    So, I got my first Daily Deviation today, and before I say anything, I would like to thank DanielleIvanova and akraslel for suggesting and featuring my poem, Something Good to Eat, respectively. Of course, I'd also like to thank all of my watchers and everyone who favorited or even bothered to have a glance at my poem for the support.    Now, I honestly don't know how many deviants who get daily deviations actually do this, but I really don't care because this kind of thing really gets me. I mean, I woke up this morning and actually almost cried when I saw that this poem that I wrote on a whim in only a few minutes actually got a Daily

So, you may or may not have noticed a 'change' in founder - this isn't really a change at all! I am still the same person ( MagicalJoey (https://www.deviantart.com/magicaljoey) ) this is just an alternate account. I moved the group to this account's control because I needed to open up a gap for another group I joined as admin on my main account (I can only be an admin in 10 groups as a core member, three as a 'normal' member). So, that said, nothing has changed drastically at all. We welcomed a new admin, CobraToon (https://www.deviantart.com/cobratoon) , who is here to help with prose critique training. He is an active critic at GrammarNaziCritiques (https://www.deviantart.com/grammarnazicritiques) (my critique group) and I brought him over from there to help you a

Prompt XXXII and Some Announcements

Hello my friends and fellow writers, I want first and foremost to apologize for my absence, from this group and from deviantArt in general - regrettably my life has become a monstrous hybrid between a Stephen King novel and a Spanish soap opera therefore I had to cast aside a lot of things despite the joy they gave me. Enough about my crap though, I have some pretty good news for you all: prompts are coming back! My dear friend cholie (https://www.deviantart.com/cholie) will be taking care of them from now on - please do give her the warmest of welcomes as the new Co-Founder of this group, she is a wonderful poet, an eclectic artist, and (as you will soon see) a delightful

So, without further ado, the ProjectDFC (https://www.deviantart.com/projectdfc) desk of all desks (made from CAEK and OREOS, remember) brings you, this July, for a limited time only, a free gift to you and the poetry world: Well done to all who participated in JJJ. We managed to get two full Rengas to happen, which was way better than last year, and even though they weren't 16-person ones they were still very substantial!

Coming Together as a Global Community

During these unprecedented times, COVID-19 (coronavirus) has impacted countless lives and left many people around the globe homebound in an attempt to limit the threat of the virus by way of social distancing and quarantine. While it’s one of many important and necessary precautions to take, being kept at home and separated from friends and loved ones is never easy. It can sometimes help to have things to do, in order to maintain mental and emotional well-being. With that in mind, we want to provide you with a starting point for fun, simple activities you can do from the comfort of your own home. On DeviantArt :deviantart: We have a wide array of topics to explore for anyone who wants to view wonderful art. Do you like cats? We’ve got you covered. More of a dog person? No problem. In the mood for a delicious cake? What about thousands of them? No matter what you’re looking for, it’s a quick search away.

I'll catch you all somewhere down the road, I hope. Lisa, beeswingblue Who are you? How do you know, and how do you present yourself to the world, knowing what you know? Do you tend to overthink? Is it possible to "overfeel"? Is it plausible to rest the mind, to truly feel fine? Let's write from the "I," make a space for these questions—and others. Those things that run through your mind, maybe in the heat of the moment, maybe late at night. We'

This journal features some of the artists whose works and responses caught my attention . For the people who included an explanation of why the works they posted were a challenge, I've included their explanations along with their featured works. Note that I've lightly edited some of the responses for clarity. If you'd like me to display a different description with your works, feel free to send me a note! You can join the thread here.
