An Ode to WindowsThey were here

long before I was.

And they probably watched me

when I came home

for the first time.

Those clear eyes,

ever unblinking,

always watching.

Windows are, really,

just thin sheets of

crystal,

yet they have that awful power,

the power to always watch.

Close the blinds;

It doesn't matter;

They watch from both sides.

Smooth to the touch,

Perfect, clear, unbroken.

Yet so fragile, how an insignificant stone,

Thrown carelessly, could shatter it all.

There is a sense of perfection,

in these crystal eyes.

Perhaps it is imaginary;

Glass is everywhere, after all.

One window isn't special.

They're nothing without a ligAn Ode to Windows by ~Graphite325

Political PoemIt started as a normal day,

Playing basketball in town.

Little did he suspect, that day,

Outside of a hospital he'd be shot down.

He lied there in the alley,

Friends and neighbors pleaded to the ER.

He was soaking in his own blood

But that adjacent alley was just too far.

One man carried him,

And only then did he recieve some care.

But a single busted aorta

Proved too much to those who didn't dare.Political Poem by ~Graphite325

Christmas Short Story ContestHello, my friends and newcomers, I've decided to kick off an AWESOME contest.  It's about time, right?  I haven't done anything like this for a while.
So, it's time for the Christmas Short Story Contest!
Have you ever wanted to create your own Christmas story?  Have you ever wanted to just sit down and think, think, think of another story that will capture the minds of readers for years to come?   Have you...
Oh, come on.   Here's the gist of the matter.  Now is your chance to use/develop your talents.  Create your own Christmas story.  Use anything that runs around in that fantastic mind.  There are many different ways to write a short story, so you're not boggled down on too many rules.   Just write concisely and have fun. You won't be disappointed. The sky is the limit, along with the cosmos for that matter as well.

Surviving (and thriving) on deviantARTSURVIVING (AND THRIVING) IN THE MINTY GREEN JUNGLE
FINDING HAPPINESS ON DEVIANTART
If you want to get something out of it, put something into it. Visibility on deviantART is mostly a numbers game; there are so many users that unless you're interacting with others, even the highest-quality work may go nearly unseen. This advice sounds like a truism, but people seem to have difficulty understanding that no, their work is not some kind of miracle that breaks all the rules. Don't expect the community to fawn all over you for existing. You have to make them see you.
Don't expect the community to fawn over you, period. These people are usually your peers, but even if you don't think they are - they are not your buttmonkeys. Don't treat people that way.
The people who let you treat them terribly are not the ones you want. Some people will allow, and even encourage you to treat them like slaves. TheSurviving (and thriving) on deviantART by *heysawbones

Manga, psychology and the average teeniebopperTwo years ago I was 12 and like a lot of DA users, I was obsessed with manga and the idea of becoming a manga artist. I invested time and effort studying it and drawing it from books I had nagged my Dad to buy books on the subject for me only to fall out of the fad literally months after I discovered it. What’s my point? Well, two years on I’m studying for my S3 prelims and building up a design folio in Graphic communication.
First a little story.
Recently we were given the challenge to create a word bank poster on a chosen subject which we had to make on CAD software of some variety, because I go to an underfunded public school in the outskirts of Edinburgh, graphic communication doesn’t have a huge budget and we’re forced to use an early version of a freeware program called Xara xtreme. I decided straight away that there’s no point in using a “drawing” programme which doesn’t even have a rubber tool and decided to draw my poster at hManga, psychology and the average teeniebopper by ~Covetous-cartilage

A little about myself:

The most important thing to know is that I have a terrible attention span. Another good thing to know is that I will most likely not post journal entries, because I 1) don't have anything interesting to share and 2) want to save this site for my writing.

Some more tidbits:
-I consider my OCs real people. I talk to them, think about them, wonder what they're doing, etc. They have flaws and dreams, so they must be real
-I'm a apatheist. Like an atheist, except with a higher level of I-don't-care-ness. I have better things to worry about.
-I spend more time thinking about my stories than I do actually writing them
-...If you absolutely need to know more about me, just ask.

Current Projects:

FantasyEnd: The center of all my hard work. I have reworked this puppy so many times it's ridiculous. It's meant to be a series, worthy of being published into novels. That's why it's taking so long. Expect a lot of fantasy, action, adventure, magic, humor, WTF moments, and so on.

Current Residence: Somewhere in Indiana
Favourite genre of music: instrumental, rock, some metal, country
Favourite photographer: Me
Favourite style of art: Anything cartoony, anime-ish, simple
Operating System: Windows 7
MP3 player of choice: Augen
Shell of choice: keratin
Wallpaper of choice: Depends on the season/occasion
Skin of choice: paper
Favourite cartoon character: Goofy, Donald Duck, Monkey D. Luffy
Personal Quote: "Aw crap!", "Interesting"

*The following is the beginning from a rough short that was recently written. Bare in mind it has not been edited in any way; it is merely meant to give a taste to what I've been working on.*

"Hear me, all evildoers! You, skulking in the darkness of the allies! You, stalking the innocents in the streets! You, slinking and...slunking, in the...everywhere else! Hear me, and listen to my words closely, for you will need to heed them well. My name is Sir Edgar von Cleever, Righteous Knight of the Court of Standalot; and I am watching for you, with much vigilance! Vigilantly, I am watching you...vigilantly. So, next time you are skulking in the darkness of the allies; next time you're stalking the innocents in the streets; next time you are slinking and slunking, or even spelunking! Watch your backs, for you will not be able to get away with your evil deeds while I am on patrol! For I am vengeance; I am the day! I-am-Righteous Knight!

An empty can collided with the side of his head, signaling the end of Sir Edgar von Cleever's monologue.
