Synesthesia

Eyes that see The taste of geometries Tongue provoked by Light-assaulted lenses Blood circulates through Pulsating teeth Into the throat wide open Tendrils extend From the gray matter The turbulent surface Of the sleepless brain Hands chase shimmers Fingers twisted backwards Stroke the atmosphere Growing louder The selfness itself The whisperer inside The unknown of the known Consuming everything With its subjectivity Knowing, feeling, guessing What’s normality Searching for the Other In need for identity Let it all melt Into itself Break the illusion Of safety in boundaries Eyes that taste A tongue that sees Cells electrified Merge

Mirror of 5 Contest

NEW - WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT (PRIZES AND FEATURES WILL FOLLOW - NEW NEW - JUDGING IS IN PROGRESS - NEW NEW - DEADLINE EXTENSION II TO 31st MAY 2022 - NEW NEW - DEADLINE EXTENSION TO 30th APRIL 2022 - NEW This time I have no new milestones to offer for celebrating in a contest, but nevertheless there is another incident for having a celebration competition: a repetition number - in this case the mirror of 5 means the doubling of it. Because of that interesting number that it is, I have decided to host a birthday contest. :) What comes into my mind when thinking of number 5(5) which still intensify the meaning? Freedom, open-mindedness, loyalty, stability, love, devotion, craving for change, independence, adventure, curiosity. Formerly, 5 was believed to be the number resembling a marriage between the Earth and the Heavens. The pentagram is a significant symbol in many religions. In astrology, 5 is associated with Mercury, the planet of intelligence, logic, awareness, communication

words can roar #4 / april 2022 / napo special

Well. It’s been awhile. Welcome to the NaPo 2022 special of words can roar. Last year, as April loomed close, I felt sudden and intense stress about my writing. Was what I was producing as good as my first NaPo in 2020? It was too much. I posted about three pieces in the official @NaPoWriMo group before informing everyone in the group I would be dropping out. But I did finish it on my own, and looking back, most of my fears about my own writing were unfounded. Who cares, anyways? I’m not having to make my living off this. Lol. I hesitantly came back to DA this April, totally unsure if the same stress would come back. But I did it! Yay! You can see my completed NaPo journal here. When the stress did come back on, the great people on the NaPo Discord server set me straight a time or two. I have to thank everyone for making up such an amazing community. I can honestly say I am looking forward to many more NaPos to come! 🖤 Okay. Y’all are done hearing about me. Y’all are ready to

The Top Reasons for Manuscript Rejection

One of the things that the literary agency I work for does some weekends out of the year is teach seminars on query writing and the first 5 pages of manuscripts (which, basically just means the first page of the manuscript). The seminars last only a day or two, but aim to help writers improve their queries and start of their books so that they have a better chance of standing out in the ever-growing slush pile. Since I know many members of the literature community here aim to one day be published writers, I thought I would share our sheet of the top reasons for manuscript rejections. Please note: These are in no particular order. Wrong genre

Stash, Drafts, and Lit Submissions in Eclipse

Are you a dA writer having some trouble with the Eclipse transition? You aren't alone! Eclipse has changed a lot for literature submissions. Let's start with changes to sta.sh Sta.sh used to have a Compose in Sta.sh Writer button allowing you to write, format, and post all from one spot.  Now, you can only upload files when in sta.sh or edit documents you created via the Submit Literature option. Uploading documents is a great option if you have a specific format or layout you want to preserve. You can upload your literature deviation as a pdf, downloadable doc, or an image file to maintain exactly the look you've crafted. How To Do It:Step
