Around this time last year deviantArt created a new and relatively unknown category under Resources known as Literature Templates! Many of these are designed by a group of artists who seem to be the only people who really know about them. You can find them, and many templates at *PrintsForLit

From their Journal:

"Literature Prints or "PrintsforLit" is a project born on the idea that writers should be able to sell their written works just as well as visual artists. deviantART is a home to all types of artists, and the Prints Program is another outlet and way for artists to be seen and make their work available for purchase, and now it will be easier than ever for writers and authors to make and sell prints of their written works.

Literature Prints offers templates and template packages free for download to be used by writers as a background to their written arts. The templates are created by talented designers around deviantART. The templates are free to use for the purpose of prints and permission is not needed from the designers. You may download the templates, arrange your text/poems/written arts, upload, and submit to deviantART Prints, its that simple. This is the perfect opportunity for the Literature Community to sell their work, the perfect opportunity to make available purchasable prints, the possibilities are endless. Think of it as stock for the Literature Community!

The holidays are just around the corner and the shipping dates are closing in, nows the time to submit your prints and have them just in time to slip under the tree!"

It is my call to all artists of all kinds to help support Literature Templates, as well as all areas of stock!

Due to support from many of my personal friends I have submitted an official request to dA to add a posters section. You can review and help support such request in the dA forums. The thread is found here. [link]

Haikus. I intend to write four, one for each season. I already have two and they seem to have done well for me so far. If/When I finish them I plan to offer them as prints, if anybody would actually be interested in such. Now I just need some inspiration for Spring and Summer!

Have you heard..?
Have you tried to understand..?
It's all right..
It gets easier with time,
How are you?
Are you ever coming back?
I have changed..
And I've realized I was wrong,

I was wrong..
Now I'll never see your face anymore,
Oh my love..
I'd give anything for one more day..
..With you..

I have several writings that I've currently put on hold due to personal conflicts in life, some of which are more anticipated than others. Until I can work out some of these things I've decided to remain active in other areas of dA. The forums, news articles, clubs, contests, and such.

I am also looking to branch out into new areas beyond just literature, but that's really a work in progress.

I will and do continue to write however, and I've developed a sudden knack for form.

Hell, I don't really know yet. Do something nice for me, I'm 21. The next birthday that comes with benefits is 65, so make this one worth it.

Insert fictitious conversations in my head in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1..

Kelsey: "Gee Ryry, what do you want to do tonight?"

Ryan: "The same thing we do every night, Kelsey—try to take over the world."

Ryan: "Amanda, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"

Amanda: "I think so, Ryan, but why would anyone want a depressed tongue?"

If I could trade my words for love, I swear they'd be gone before you knew it. I don't understand why I would need them anymore anyways, I know in my heart that the woman for me will render me speechless.

Sometimes I feel like a Picasso jigsaw puzzle. No matter what I do I never seem to fit together right.

It amazes me that sometimes the most heartfelt words mean everything to everyone but who they're spoken to. Sticks and stones, may break my bones, but words will never save me.

When I was a teenager I did everything I could to act older. When I hit my twenties I started doing things I haven't done since before adolescence. I think I dropped happiness somewhere before the last decade... and I'm retracing my steps to find it.

Three weeks until I am 21. I've heard that the best presents lie under the ocean, and in the cracker aisle.

Lately I've been craving to be more than a failure in life. Trying to get out more, trying to find out who I really am, and what it is that I really want in life.

I love writing, but I honestly don't know if I am really good at it or not. My writing usually means nothing to the person I wrote to, or for. So I guess I have no way to judge things. Still, even though, I write mostly for my own sense of completion. Sometimes I find things easier to manage when it's all written out in front of me. I write because I can't, simply, not write. I guess that in itself is what art is.

I just hope, that it means something to you, as much as it does to me.

No really, without them being put here I'd be dead right now.

dA is where art means application... if only art wasn't so difficult to apply!
