2nd annual Fireworks Contest for July!!!!
July is a big month for fireworks displays. Just off the top of my head there's Canada Day, Independence Day and Bastille Day. And I'm a pyro tech.... SO......
The theme is fireworks, but it doesn't have to be literal, you can also use the fireworks theme as part of a metaphor.
Any medium, including all forms of literature, are welcome.
Submissions do not have to be new work, but if you entered last year than I want to see something different than what you entered the first go round.
The important stuff:
ONE entry per deviant please. To enter, send me a note with a link to your deviation. Deadline is July 29, Voting begins July 30. Depending on number of entries, there may be a semifinal round.
Prizes:
I can't afford to do as much as last year, unfortunately. So, unless someone wants to donate...
Popular Vote:
First Prize: 1 year sub
Second Prize: 3 month sub
Third Prize: 1 month sub
My favorites
First prize: 1 month sub
Second and Third Prize, bragging rights and a feature only, I'm afraid.
I know, pretty small contest by dA standards, but it's all I can handle at the moment.
Please spread the word, send me your entries, and Good Luck to all!
For inspiration, here are last year's winners: ceebab.deviantart.com/journal/…;
This is my first news article so I hope I did it right!

No Time This Time
Don't have a lot of free time, so not here a whole lot anymore.
If I delete your pieces from my collections, no offense. Just too huge and unmanageable.
Might post a few things at some point, who knows.
scrappity scrap scrap
I have been doing some writing, but I'm also starting to make some attempts at getting published. Therefore, if you want to see what I'm up to you'll have to look at scraps. That's where I'm putting my first drafts while I work on stuff.
I would really appreciate critique and suggestions for improvements on my scrapped stuff, as the only reason I'm putting it up here is to get help in editing and finishing.
I'm also working on my novel, but it's tough going. I have major crises going on both in my job and in my personal life -- too many and too depressing to detail here. Very draining. I'm off work tomorrow and my hubby has brought wor
Unstuck, I hope
I wrote my first novel last year for NaNoWriMo, and have been beating my head against a wall all year to try and make the damn thing not suck.
Recently, I read Stephen King's On Writing and it made a lot of sense to me. I've since come to the conclusion that the book sucks because I wrote it wrong. I'd never written a novel before, so I listened to advice and made outlines and character studies and yada yada yada. The result is inescapably, unsalvageably bad stuff.
So I've scrapped it.
There was one scene out of the whole ugly mess that I do love and will try to salvage enough to post here. Possibly as a short story, possibly just as i
Bloggity blog blog
So I've decided I need more writing help on my blog posts than what I can get from my friends. So I'm going to post them here a month later in order to get critiques on them.
If you want to read them as they are up to date, please keep going to the blog. Today I'm submitting the May one here (the first one). Next week I'll drop all the June entries, etc.
Please critique away.
