Contests:
I recently found out I won *OneWordPrompt's Freedom prompt (Literature, [link] ) and ~the-haiku-club's October Saijiki Contest ( [link] ). Both clubs are continuing their contests this month, so if you are interested in participating, please join!

Journal Skin:

Collections & Favourites:
In case you are unaware of some of the strange and inspiring pieces on dA, I've favourited a few of them. [link]

Also, I have not verified this, but I may be the only dA member to have collections about:

The Human Condition or Death & Robots [link]
Read Without Words [link]
Bibliophilia [link]
Microcosms [link]
Cephalopods [link]
Umbrellas [link]

If you've seen any pieces that you think might fit into one of these collections, please comment.

Status Update:
I am focused on graduate school. This is a rather intense year; I do not plan on uploading much material in the coming months. I have added a couple short (and somewhat silly) things recently. I am mostly working on Children's Fiction.

To improve ease of navigation, I organized my gallery into genre-specific folders. I hope this helps those of you who are interested in viewing/reading some of my older pieces. I have also been attempting to regularly change my featured deviation.

I am catching up on everyone's recent works from my watchlist. If you have a particular deviation you would like me to see, please let me know. And if anyone would like to be featured, just ask.

Thank you.

Fast Fact: I own more than 1,000 books.

Me: I am a graduate student, a lifelong reader, and a speculative fiction enthusiast. Thus, I have a wide variety of interests and am not easily offended.

I enjoy writing prose more than poetry because I like creating stories from small ideas. But I find poetry useful; if all the practice makes me a more poetical soul, it is time well-spent.

As a novice writer, I value all comments & critiques. I am always open to suggestions on anything I have posted.

Commenting: If I have something useful to say, I will say it. If I like a piece, I will state why. I will include suggestions if I have them. I appreciate thoughtful comments on my own work, so I try to give them to others.

Watching: If you add me to your watchlist, I will respond in kind. And I will view and comment on your work. Thank you.

I've had fun with them so far, especially the red-themed one.

Of everything you like, why those particular categories?
