I followed your profile because of your signature,

"dA is for the literary arts, too"

But I do not see any literature in your newest deviations. I'd like to check your gallery later, so your response to this comment will serve a purpose.

I thought I might ask, though, without malice or disdain, do you write? And, if not, why do you support literature in your signature?

Remember, I do not mean to offend. I merely think that any reasonable answer will be a deep and interesting one, and your gallery might be just that yet.

Well, I've been drawing a lot longer than I've been writing, and I'm much better at it. However, because I've more or less plateaued in the visual arts, most of my efforts are devoted to writing. I desperately wish to improve, and I really try, but I find that it is much more difficult to get ready observation and criticism on a piece of writing than a piece of visual art.

I use that signature because ~jamberry-song suggested it in her journal. While I'm not primarily a writer, I do feel that the literary community on dA is under recognized. The signature is my small way, especially in regards to those who may find me through my drawings, of promoting the literary community here.

Anyway, feel free to browse my gallery. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks. =)

I don't care at this point. I'm tired of being judged. I'm tired of having to care what other people think of me because they hold the goddam key to my freedom in their ignorant little hands!

If I may suggest, I came to improve my writing through objective writing. I would write a piece with a specific goal in mind, for example, I would think, "This poem will rhyme multiple words", or "this poem will have a visually appealing structure". The learning process turns brief, for me, I learnt massive amounts with each piece I wrote.
This is not because each piece was magnificent, or even good. But their faults showed me how I would improve.

Over the weekend, I will read several of your pieces of literature, and offer compliments and suggestions, if you would like. All that you need do is reply to this comment, so that I remember to.

Indeed, it is far easier to be drawn into a piece of visual art than literature on the main page. I think we are all influenced by this, in some ways. Still,...I am unable to draw, but enjoy how I write, and I would not trade between the two.

Jamberry Song...what a pretty name. In fact, I told them so before completing this message.

I'm glad you responded to my comment so welcomenly, Prodigal Artist.

Regards.

Aw, thank you. You seem like a lovely person with very gracious and encouraging bits of advice. =)

I would be very happy to hear any of your thoughts on my work. In fact, it would mean a great deal to me. I have a quite long piece up that has gotten almost no attention. 5000 words (or so) seems to be too long for a piece on dA--sadly.

Anyway, thanks again! =)

I've now commented two deviations of yours, I've yet to read the longest, though. I can't remember if I already suggested this to you, or to Waiting-For-The-Moment on his Cloak deviation, but I'd recommend breaking the long story into smaller chapters. This will keep readers entertained, able to read smaller pieces and thus keep track far better, and coming back to your page to up those pageviews and comments. c; The lifeblood of deviantArt.

Good feeding.

Of course. :)

You earned the appreciation, of course, but you're very welcome. :)
