Creative Writing Course - Plot ADD! The time for each course was one month, and the submissions where one. I want to try something new as this course is about growing so what I'd like to as to this is, by splitting it up to 2 weeks but over a month still. So you get two submissions in the month, and your first one will be looked over, you'll get points on where you can improve some more and then you get some help. If you have any questions, when we have our chat, you can ask them, to add to your further understanding of things and then at the end of the month you will have a great piece of literature that you will be even moore confident about! So, you have about a week and a half left for your first submissions! They are due on October 12th so Get Writing
I hope your telling your friends about this course! I think everyone will be able to benefit from it greatly!
This is mostly for our prose and short story writers! It could help all of you who would love to try this but just don't know wh

A Guide to Group-Hosted Contests on dAIntroduction
The ever-wonderful ^ValaSedai posted an article about Individually Hosted Contests this morning. It covered a lot of important stuff like gathering prizes and organizing your entries. This guide is going to cover much of the same stuff, but from a group admin's point of view.

Prepare and Organize
The Summer Contest that myself, =SilverInkblot, and `thetaoofchaos hosted through =DailyLitDeviations literally took months of planning. We wrote and revised the prompt, rules, entry guidelines, prizes, judging guidelines, and more. Then when the contest was announced, people had questions and the questions most frequently asked were added to an FAQ section in the article. Then there was collecting and finalizing the

Photography Troubleshooting: How to work with MistGetting the camera out, and the scarf, hat and gloves, and heading into a misty morning or hazy evening can result in the best kind of photographs. Atmospheric, moody and ultimately a fine example of whatever current season you're in - these kinds of shots present themselves at awkward moments so it's vitally important to be prepared. In previous years I've got up at the crack of dawn and ventured out with all the excitement of a young child on their first day of school - only to come home with a grazed knee and broken felt tip pens. Or rather, washed out, blurred and altogether rubbish photographs.

Fog is a popular mist - we often get confused and just term it all as fog or all as mist. It's not quite like that. It's all about the visibility, if we can see less than 1km through it then it's fog. If we can see between 1 - 2 km then it's mist. So when is the best time to catch these ground level clouds at their best? Fo

PE: Poetry Forms- An A-Z An A-Z of Poetry Forms!
Hello!
To kick start this week at #projecteducate, we're starting off with a slightly lighter-hearted article listing just some of the poetic forms that exist out there. Lets be honest, there are hundreds and we can't list every single one. This is just a slice of the forms out there and if you are wishing to expand your understanding of different forms, do some research and don't take this as gospel!
Each form has a direct link to a site that describes the form in more detail, usually with examples too. I have also included some good examples from dA when I have found them.
Yes some of these link to wikipedia!

PE: Community Week PLZ AccountsCommunity Week - PLZ Accounts

Can you spot the difference between

and :icongladlikeplz

If you hover your mouse over it, you’ll see that the first is a link to a deviation (http://fav.me/d5judp5), while the second is an icon for a special type of account called a PLZ account.
PLZ accounts are deviantART accounts made for the sole reason of being an emoticon. Anyone can make these accounts. (For more information on making PLZ accounts, see this previous Project Educate journal http://fav.me/d3jjwiv.) The deviant chooses an account name that represents the image he/she wishes to display, and usually adds the phrase ‘PLZ’ at the end, so other deviants are aware that that account exists to be an emote (in the example above, the account name is “gladlikeplz”).
To use the PLZ account, you merely

Resources For Artists: Colour Scheme ToolsColour Scheme Tools
So I have been thinking of doing a few articles apart from feature articles to link some useful resources for artists and this is the first one of these. While this is a mini one, it's helped me a lot on several occassions.
Sometimes it gets confusing to decide which colours to choose. "'Should I go with a turquoise and a gold for the face? What about the room? I was going for a chic cool modern palette which is minimalistic!" Surely, a lot of us have gone through those decisive moments. Below are some colour scheme tools that would help you with your colour scheme choices. Click the titles or the links in asterisk to go to the following sites.

Human Nature - I"...and many weep for sheer acceptance, and more
refuse to weep for fear of all acceptance,
but the weeping man, like the earth, requires nothing..."

-Les Murray, A Perfectly Ordinary Rainbow

"There!" They cry, fingers forced flat against the air
as though they might prick the face of God.
"He mocks us! He ridicules us!" Their teeth clattering,
their tongues a squallor of lies - they cry tears
in beautiful colors and fantastic shapes. They destroy
their clothing, rip out their hair, pound their fists
into the ground soaking up the salt of their eyes,
and they scream:

"Stop him! Stop him! That man there!
He cries quietly in solitu

In A Past LifeI was a Spanish woman,
thick hair & loose hips
browning under the Latin sun.

I tied his eyes in knots,
his belly in nooses
from which his every
ambition hung.

I laughed like water falls
& excited his fingertips
one-by-one.

And my sigh -
delicate,
delicious
on his lips

left him undone.

Love Is Not A MetaphorBirds do not care if you are broken.
They are just birds, occupied with the business
of survival. The wind that carries them
does not care if you wish to be weightless,
cradled in arms it does not possess.
The ocean it greets does not care if your tears
would push its boundaries up continents
to meet mountain tops that would no more
fashion themselves into soft beds
for your beaten spirit than learn Latin
to remind you that love is no metaphor
& you will lose it by thinking thus.

Japan quakes, bereft
of her children; I build cranes
tens upon thousands.

I'm entering only the first part in the contest. The rest of the tutorial will be linked here in the artist's comment, of course. I wish I knew how to use flash. I would totally make the tut in that format if I could.
