Welcome back to my world. I'd just like to update you with what's going on. I will be purchasing a premium soon, so for a chance to recieve the free one please message me or favorite this. It may be somebody who is very active and someone that has conversed with me often.

Secondly, I'm graduating in 5 months. If you've read my journals, it's obviously been a long road and I can finally get my start and paved ground soon. I'm truly less stressed than last year, and if you have seen I have been posting here and there. I'm planning on setting up a queue for posts, so you're not recieving sparatic notifications.

Thirdly, I'd like some feedback on my poetry. I'd like a comparison to my older works and my newer works so if you respond to this journal with a comparison you will be more likely to receive a 12 month premium membership.  

Any other updates I have will follow later, thank you all!

Apologies

4 min read




I said week long, but it turned into a month long hiatus in which I responded to nobody before I left. I apologize for that. I'm working on a couple different things not related to deviantart. It's really stressful and I've put this at the back of my book.

I really appreciate the favorites, llamas, and features I've been receiving, I truly do. 

I'm just working on a lot of school things and art and such, essays and classes, as well as college apps.

If you see me freaking out and venting, this is probably why. I plan on returning regularly ASAP.

Thanks.

Today I will be clearing and going through whatever messages and favorites and comments I have yet to respond to. I've been kind of busy lately so if you get a message from something you did a week ago, don't be shocked. I've mostly just written poetry to distract myself from all my outside problems lately.

And by the way, what's with all the llamas I got I hardly get any then I get like 10 in a span of a day what.
Thanks though.

So anyways, I've been able to write things but I didn't have the time to respond and will be doing so now, because I appreciate everything everyone does to support me.

As for Hiatus, I'm going to band camp. I may bring my laptop, but as of now I'm not quite sure. Otherwise I won't be able to post at all, therefore the warning. 

I'll see you all later, working on the messages, then packing!!!

Hey guys, this is going to be like a kind of feature- journal post, in a way. I myself find a lot of inspiration by joining and/or looking around at contests. Many times people are unaware of these contests and the word just needs to be put out there! So whether you like the prompt or you want to enter the contest, go at it! If you have any kind of writers block, I hope this can help. 

Many of these are for the month of July and contests I entered in or will enter in. 

At the end of the journal you can find another journal for even more contests/ inspiration.

:bulletred: SixWordStories
7 Deadly Sins Project!A type of Flash Fiction, six word stories are (very) short stories with an exact word count: six words. SixWordStories is the place where, alongside quality, quantity really does matter. Though these stories are so brief in length, they can be as profound, if not more, than the prose and poetry you see and read every day, partly because six word stories can tell us so much and yet contain so little.
As a Group, we encourage writers to explore their boundaries with prompts, collaborations and more, but we accept anyone and everyone too! Whether you are a digital artist, photographer, or something else entirely, if you can string six words together into a story, this is the place to be!
Please support the project and the article so that more can join in on the fun! :la:
A new project will be hosted this month, the theme being: 7 Deadly Sins!. The 7 Deadly Sins have been made famous by artists, writers, and filmmakers alike.

Contest #5 IS HERE!!!Theme: Eyes Of Glass                            And Please remember to visit the deviant of July insomniaplague  :)
Description:
"Glass, a hard substance made from the heating and rapid cooling of various ingredients; a symbol of one's fragility or transparency. Like the people in our lives, we can't always see through it, though it is the base of such things as windows, drinking glasses, ect. We can break glass like promises, trust even dreams. One should always remember to treat glass with care such as our relationships in life for it can also cut deep and even when put back together, those cracks are always shown.
What does glass mean to you, whether broken or whole? Share your interpretations!
Submission Dates are July 1st-July 22nd
Prizes:

Theme of the Week: FuryFury is anger and rage. It is the fire that burns you inside and make you thirst for violence, revenge, justice.
But beyond the emotion called "fury", there are mythological beings of its name. The Furies (also known as Erinyes) of ancient Greece were avenging deities who hunted down the wicked and created plagues and sickness. Surely their name fits their identities.
But whether gods or human nature, we will write about feeling of fury or the Greek Furies. Soak your pen in violence and justice! Hunt for the words and fill your pages!
Keep Calm and Write Angry,
Kiarorin
Monthly Challenge July 2014 : Faster Than LightIt is going to be midnight for most deviants. For some, it has already passed. For me, living in Singapore (GMT +7) means that it's midnight for me as I post this. For most, it's still June 30th, and for others, it's early morning. Give or take a couple of hours, this is the time you should expect every MC to arrive. Funny how this all ties in with this month's Challenge...

I have recently bought a small little indie sci-fi game called Faster Than Light for my iPad. To a point, I consider it better than the PC version in terms of its accessibility and controls. In Faster Than Light (FTL), you man a spaceship carrying important documents that will end an intergalactic war if you succeed. And the way you travel is by using a "Faster Than Light" drive, that allows you to jump stars. It's a beautiful, tactical, and sometimes horrifying (everything is Permadeath, which means that if a crew member dies, or if the ship dies, then you're dead forever. Can be quite saddening.) little game th

July Prompt: The Less Appropriate TimeLast month's prompt, Fear of the Planet, had six entries! Here they are:
     
The 100 points will be awarded to unenglishable, thanks all for participating and I hope you'll like the next prompt also. :heart:
The tiny little bit of inspiration
Sometimes the thoughts in my head get so bored they go out for a stroll through my mouth. This is a rarely a good thing...
The Prompt
Someone has a terrible bout of word vomit at the least appropriate time, like a fart in church. Just, one that never ends... Perhaps they've had a great realization, or they've recently entered into a crisis, or they're just beyond one? Some people don't realise they're speaking out loud until it's too late, sometimes,
