Break

=Inked-Page recently went through a bit of down time in concerns to the founder, =mode-de-vie. Life has been a little crazy, but the staff will be picking up where we left off and the club will be in full swing from now on.

Staff member *IrrevocableFate was kind enough to make the group a stamp:

The 3rd round of the Comment Project is going to be redone. All the information has been moved to a separate journal page, so check it out here.

Our Member Spotlight has been updated with =sminkyalc

Journal pages may be changed around soon, to eliminate all of the boxes on this front journal.

Age: 18

Deviant since: October 2005 (although I did disappear from DA at the end of 2006 for just over a year and a half).

Style of Writing: I try not to write too much by avoiding long, complicated sentences that you can never seem to find the end of. I try to stay away from words that seem really out of place (these mainly being words that I've looked up in a thesaurus and never heard of). As for metaphors, similes, imagery and so on, I only ever use them when they come to my head while I’m writing or editing. If I try and force them out they seem so out of place which interrupts the flow of the story. I tend to write in the third person and generally about characters who interest me (rather than about a situation).

Favorite book, author, etc.: I’ll pretty much read anything, but my absolute favourite book has to be To Kill A Mockingbird. As for authors, Zadie Smith, Audrey Niffenegger, Stephen King, Tolkein and the Bronte’s are a few of my favourites. Roald Dahl was a favourite when I was younger and I still think his stories are wonderfully imaginative!

Favorite movie: I’ve no favourite movies I can think of but I love anything that’ll make me laugh, and sci-fi/fantasy films. I can’t stand anything that’s going to make me jump out of my skin, or anything that has body parts being chopped off. Those films have my eyes sealed shut throughout.

Favorite music: Anything with a good bass... so usually R&B or dance because they never fail to brighten me up.

Other types of art you enjoy: I really enjoy photography, in particular nature or those rare shots capturing human emotion. I’ve always envied those who can draw, because I wish I could and unfortunately I’m not even close to being a good at drawing. Even my stick men tend to be pretty awful.

Some other favorite things: Those who know how to make my day, my bed, the countless notebooks that are lying around all over the place, my camera and the cafe nearby that sells those lovely cakes...

What you like Most about DeviantART: That there are so many varying types of art around here by so many different people from across the globe. Also, it’s a great place to get feedback on your work, especially if you’re like me- I used to never allow anyone to read my work.
