Contests Are Coming
I truly apologize for the long delay. I was very ill for awhile and am now dealing with my beloved being relocated a thousand miles from me. Both contests will be up quite soon. If anyone has any questions or are interested in either of them, please show your support here by commenting. Thank you all for your continued support and patience.

Literature Category Restructure
Hello poets and songwriters :wave:
The Community Relations team of dA wants to restructure the Literature gallery (and all others).
Lyrics are being changed quite a bit too! Luckily they're asking for our feedback before changing it, so I recommend you comment on the full proposal.
Currently, Lyrics are under Literature > Poetry > [one of the many styles] > Songs & Lyrics. With this change, they would be under Literature > Poetry > Performance > Lyrics. You wouldn't be submitting and browsing them by different themes any longer. And this is true for any type of poetry.
Thoughts? Please comment on the Literature Gallery Restructure Proposa
Upcoming Contests
Hello one and all. I am officially back, and we here at the club are ready for a new year. In celebration of such a year, we are finally ready to bring back contests in full swing. We are changing it up a bit though. Contests will no longer be monthly, instead you will have a full two months to put forth your best creations. What that means, is you won't be rushed to do something for the contest, you can spend more time on the creative process. It will also bring about more time for contestants to join up. Now, the deadlines aren't the only thing changing. So are the prizes. Features will still be coming, as are the accolades for a well writt
Changes in the Gallery Structure
Hi there! :wave: I'm Linderel — Lin for short. Recently promoted to co-founder status, I'm now here to tell you that our gallery has received a facelift. Where before there was only one folder to put your work in, everything heaped in one big pile, there are now three: Lyrics, Poetry, and Contest Entries. I believe the folder titles are more or less self-explanatory, but if there's need of clarification, here's a breakdown for you.
:bulletred: Lyrics: This folder is for the song lyrics. If you categorised your piece as "songs & lyrics", this is where we'll put it.
:bulletred: Poetry: Sonnets, haikus, free verse. Whatever it is, if yo

There's a lot of things I like about writing, but what do I like most?
I'd have to say how it releases my soul, how putting words on a page in whatever way it comes out frees me of the pain/challenges I'm going through. Writing has become my escape, my best friend even because it is the one way I can be completely me without worrying about what anyone is thinking of me. Even with my real human best friend there is a certain uncertainty I feel about 'truly' opening up, not that I don't trust him but my heart.. my soul just doesn't feel safe with 'people.'
Whereas with writing I fear nothing about allowing my emotions/my heart run wild with the words. To fuse words in such a way that it helps me, heals me. And hopefully in the long haul it touches the readers.
That's what I like most about writing, the freedom to be me.
