Inspiring Deviants: LiteratureEveryday, I have the opportunity to meet so many wonderful deviants who continue to inspire me. In the eight years I have shared my writing here, I have had the privilege to meet others who value my passion for Literature and beyond – and have gained so much. From many here I have learned the power of stirring inspiration, delving into our creative passions, and connections in love and friendship. I wanted to spotlight just a few artistic souls who have made a distinctive impact in my life – and to express my deepest gratitude towards them all for making a difference within our Literature community.

Journals of Magnificence by Memnalar

Remembering GrimThis month we learned that a close friend to the community here passed away, Damien/inknalcohol.  He was a man who cared deeply for the community here, beginning with the literature community and spreading to all corners of DA.  Known for his tenure as a Literature Community Volunteer, he also participated in the communities at CRLiterature, WritersInk, and founded NaNoPlotMo.  That same community whom he cared for so deeply would like to give tribute to Grim.  Known for his clean and honest prose, he also loved to share resources with his fellow writers so they could hone their skills.  We'd like to share some of those resources here, as well as the quotes from his fellow deviants.
  
Being on the CV team with Grim was a lovely experience. He was my secret santa one year, and sent me the most lovely scarf, sets of soaps, and card. I still wear that scarf every winter. He w
DD Suggestion GuidelinesGreetings from BlackBowfin.  I'm now a Community Volunteer for the Literature side of DeviantArt.  Selecting written works to feature as Daily Deviations is a major component of that role.  While I do my best to search for standout work, there's no doubt that many quiet treasure nooks get overlooked.  I would greatly appreciate your assistance with scouting for and unearthing awesome deviations.  Below you'll find the general info/guidelines and, below that, my personal preferences.

Praising Life ProjectWelcome to the Praising Life Project

It's really hard for anyone to stay positive all the time. I definitely agree with that.
However, when things go wrong, it's so easy to forget how much you've been blessed. It's amazing that we have the internet, people who care, and hope...
Although there is a lot of bad in this world, there is also beautiful joy and countless things to appreciate. :love:
And that makes me praise life.
The memories, the laughter, the joy, the hugs through hard times.
In this life, we only have one chance! I think one of our life purposes is to spread love throughout this world and leave it in better shape than before we were here. 

It would be much appreciated if you help spread the word! (:+fav: & Comment!)

tWR Interviews: What's Your Favourite Genre?Hello everyone, and welcome to our "tWR Interviews", where we interview experienced writers of our community about the art of writing! 
If you're reading, please favourite+fav and share the article so we can spread this amazing resource around!
In this article, we asked a few deviants during the Mentorship Project, as we went, about their favourite genre to write in and what makes it special. A shout-out goes to Jade-Pandora and RetroZombie who are giving us a treasure chest full of information regarding Eastern poetry (that will come in a separate article in a few days' time), and to mirz333 for her wisdom regarding sci-fi and superhero fiction!

CRITMAS* 2018 PRE-LAUNCH!*NO it is NOT a spelling mistake- Critmas means "Critique at Christmas" AKA this awesome event!
:new: Still looking for Captains! Adjudicator positions now all filled! 
It's back!
I can't believe somehow for the 9th year running we are launching Critmas again. The past few years it has just grown and grown and each year the expectation fathoms me- I worry it won't work, but the commitment from the community is just astounding.
 
What is Critmas?
This is a multi formed challenge where the focus is about 2 things. 1. Giving 2. Critique.
The challenge for everyone is to submit at least 12 critiques (that's 1 a day) across the 12 days of Christmas (Dec 24th to Jan 6th). It doesn't matter what the art form is or your style of critique, it is all about giving back in the way most members on here value most; in giving feedback on their work.
The Critmas Story has evolved over the past 8 years and this year, we have anoth
New Year: Lit Community Challenge* RESULTS ARE IN! *
Thank you to everyone who participated in this challenge! We had a total of seven participants, and it was great to see the effort put into boosting our community. Here's the prizes in descending order:
MagicalJoey - 640 pts
heartdialect - 640 pts
saturdaystorytellers - 480 pts
IamNoHere - 130 pts
SilverInkblot - 95 pts
SlytherclawPadawan - 80 pts
WishingUnderThatStar - 55 pts
C-C-C-COMBO BONUS!
MagicalJoey and heartdialect completed every task; well done! :clap: They both receive the special combo prize of 3-month core and a $25 Amazon gift card.
AND... because saturdaystorytellers completed every task except greeting a new lit deviant, since she ran out of time to find one despite her best efforts, we've decided to award her the third combo prize as a show of good faith. That level of community spirit

Introducing neurotype
:iconneurotype:
Call me norpadorp.
I joined DeviantArt back in the day on a friend’s recommendation. Mainly to browse art, but one of my earliest memories using this site is repeatedly submitting to the Pixel Art category because I had no idea what ‘Indie Art’ was.
By the time I figured it out, I was part of a community I hadn’t expected to be a part of. My parents support art as recreation; my first exposure to the world of professional artists and art criticism was here. Without meeting the people I met here, I can confidently say that I never would have gone beyond fanfiction parodies as a writer, taken more than a couple of drawing c
How to Write a Query LetterPublishing Week
A query is kind of what it sounds like -- you're ASKING an agent or publisher if they're interested in seeing your book. But a query is more than hey what's up I'm awesome my book is awesome look at it plz!  You have to write a professional letter that will entice the person who will read it into writing back with a HECK YES SHOW ME YOUR BOOK! (Okay, they probably won't say it like that. But you get the gist.)
The first line in your query should be:
Dear Ms./Mr. AgentLastName OR Dear Ms/Mr. EditorLastName
This might sound obvious, but you never EVER want to address a query with Dear Sirs/Madams or To Whom it May Concern. You also don't want to address it to the publisher or the agency. You are writing a specific agent or a specific editor, whom you've taken the time to research. You know what this person likes and you think he or she will like your book. So address them personally.
The next lines should should look something like:
Thank You Inknalcohol
Please join me in thanking inknalcohol for his time as a Community Volunteer for the literature community.  Damien is one of those people you can't help but be drawn to.  He spent his term encouraging the literature community to grow, to connect and to nurture each other .  While we will miss his presence on the team, I know he's going to continue to be a force in the community and I look forward to seeing what he does next.





Thank YOU, inknalcohol  :heart:
What we can Learn from Sir Terry"It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living." 
Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent



On March 12th, 2015, the world lost a literary great. Sir Terry Pratchett, a conqueror of the fantasy/Sci-fi industry who not only wrote captivating stories, but threw in wonderfully weird dilemmas full or wit and humour. A truly talented, funny writer, who sported a black fedora hat, silver beard and an imagination most writers would envy.
 

Pratchett’s health decline has been well publicised; raising awareness for Alzheimer’s as well as funding and campaigning for more research into the debilitating disease. In fact  he donated substantial amounts into organisations for this research; organisations that fans have sin
