The Poet's Watchword

Newest

Hiatus

Sat Oct 24, 2009, 12:02 AM
Hi guys,

I know I've been scarce around the place for the last little while, but I'm going on official hiatus for the next few weeks. Exams and organising my summer research job means I have practically no free time. So I'll see you all when it calms down... hopefully.

:heart:

  • Mood: Suffering
  • Reading: immunology textbook

deviantID

I'm first and foremost a science nerd, and a short one at that. I write because I can't stop, and I draw/photograph/paint because I bore easily. I'm obsessed with music, but I'm the least musically talented person you've ever met. I pretend to be misanthropic (which always makes life fun).

Ohh... a photo sans hat. Weird, I know.

Devious Info

  • Current Residence: Adelaide, South Australia
  • Interests: Reading, writing, slouching in lecture theatres... and science.
  • Favourite movie: Idiocracy
  • Favourite band or musician: The Smiths, Elvis Costello, Rufus Wainwight and unknown Aussie bands
  • Favourite genre of music: Indie, Rock, Alternative, Folk, jazz, and any mishmash thereof.
  • Favourite artist: Monet
  • Favourite poet or writer: W.H. Auden, Robert Frost, William Wordsworth
  • MP3 player of choice: My phone. It's awesome. Seriously.
  • Favourite cartoon character: Daria
  • Personal Quote: Wait, which way's left?
  • Tools of the Trade: A pen. That's interesting, isn't it?

You changed your icon! Ha!
I liked your emotive portrait. Makes you want to think.

So I said I was done with the seminar-workshop. I guess I wasn't meant for news writing(God, the limited number of adjectives and factual information kill me those 2 hours), copyreading and headline writing.(I guess I have some talent for both, but they fall short. And I dont know what the eff those symbols in proofreading mean! >: ( )

But I did get props for photojournalism, editorial cartooning, and feature writing. And out of the five requirements we were suppose to pass; I only submitted two. techinically, one. Two halves. I didn't get them finished. I'm a lazy bumass. :XD:

So, yeah. I might be submitting anything I can claw from that experience; in the meantime school awaits, and if I do not labor, I get squashed!

If Ellen can get on the cover of O magazine, then my goal is to get a million comments!

Art is not an distraction. It's a distant attraction.

Ha, I'm not sure about the new icon but having a self-portrait made me feel like an idiot. SO random drawing it is!

And news writing is bad for the soul. Writing needs adjectives, suspense and such. Not telling people everything in the first paragraph and doing so as quickly as possible. I didn't even study English in my last year of highschool, which is slightly ironic, considering how much I write.

Thanks for the watch!

But I often wondered just how deep I could
Sink my teeth into that crease on your arm
The place where all the good times,
They grow and grow.
:iconlittlemissnowhere:
You're very welcome :D

Hey, thanks for the support! Especially on the sonnet, it's really helpful. Listen, I'll probably be on a workshop for my school paper on Sept. 18, so we'll write fantastic shit, and I'm wondering if you have any extra prompts you can willingly give away. :D

Sure thing! Try some of these:

I'm counting every moment
And numbering all my thoughts

We own the sky.

Is it dark where you are now?

I'm still finding scraps of paper
From the dreams that you tore up.


I hope you have a really good time, I've always wanted to go to a workshop!
