Theme of the Week: HospitalPeople break their bones, people fall ill, people scrape and get cuts and bruises... and some people go to the mental hospital. Surgery, lobotomy, coma, test tube, blood. Blood everywhere. Fix it! Mend the wounds. Bring out the Oxycontin for the patient.
Was a loved one in the hospital? Were you? One of your dear characters? What is it like to be broken? Went somewhere where you are labeled as broken?
They try to fix you, but sometimes they fail. The doctor is sorry the boy didn't get better in the chemotherapy. The family cries and prays for the suffering soul.
But sometimes you come out good as new! Like nothing happened! You thank the doctor and the doctor is proud to do their job!
And birth. The mother loves the new soul brought to the world, born under the watchful eyes... in the hospital.
Hospitals are made to help people. They work hard, and we work hard to write our poems and prose. Let the doctors, the nurses and the hospitals inspire us this week!
Stay healthy, or get better,

Theme of the Week: ScholarPut on your reading glasses and open that big, dusty textbook. Class is starting. Go back to the dorm and work hard... or procrastinate and party! Graduation, diplomas, and funny hats!
Or maybe you're thinking about the classic scholars. Monks, poets, and priests. Reading out of holy scriptures, writing dramatic plays. Quill and ink, dusty parchment, and an open mind.
So lets go to the library and write up something that has anything to do with education or scholarly topics. Have fun!
Typing, typing, typing,

Theme of the Week: EraserIf you could erase one thing in the world, what would it be? Would you erase a mistake that you made? Would you erase war? Would you erase the entire planet? Would you erase the typo you just made when writing?
Pink erasers, white erasers, kneaded erasers, wiping off the charcoal from the canvas. Well, what's on that canvas? What needs to be gone, and what is going to replace it?
Wipe off the smudges and make something beautiful.
Hope and love,
~Kiarorin

FearThe place that scares me most is within my own mind. While some brilliant and amazing ideas do feel the need to spawn there, some dark thoughts burrow themselves deep within the cavity of my brain. The things that I have done, the guilt, the regret, the pain and lies like to surface when I allow myself to think. So I try my best to drown myself into books and movies and stories, anything to distract me from the horrid things that I have done.

Bad newsOr the worst. There is nothing they can do at the ticket office. Unless *reeeky2001 becomes deactivated, banned, or hands over Founder status, there is nothing that can be done.
I'm sorry to say it guys, really I wanted it to work and I tried, but this is now a dead group.
I am going to disable all folders and deny new members.
There is absolutely no way for me to handle this much work on my own, and there is no way for you guys to help.
All of the best wishes,

:iconwhiteflowerplz: Introduction and Welcome! :iconwhiteflowerplz:
First, I would like to take a moment to wish ALL of our Admins., Members, and Friends of our Group,
A TRULY WONDERFUL YEAR in 2013!
:iconnewyear2plz:
Below you will find our Group's New FAQ, New Folder Rules, and New Folders for 2013.
This Group News Article, intends to contain everything you need to know, in order to understand what we are about at #Unframed-Nature, and what types of art work we are looking for, in each one of our folders.
We have made a few changes to our current folders, in order to hopefully clarify a few issues we've had during the past year, and we've added a few NEW folders, in hopes to give more meaning to our group, with both a

Moderators!I need some.
It is probably the holiday season, but with just three of us we are way behind, there are 150 of your submissions waiting for approval. I know I haven't been checking for a couple days. My family does Christmas, and we had ours early, yesterday. Then I still have to go to my aunts for dinner tomorrow, and my in-laws on the thirtieth.
So what you, as a moderator, would be doing would be pretty simple. You would pick a folder or two, depending on how much traffic it gets, (RiseandBe & FerelWing would have first pick, of course) and simply make sure that the deviations are, in fact, poetry, and that they belong in that folder. If not, you simply comment and tell the deviant the deviation is in the wrong folder, and Reject. If it is really slow in your section, you can screen other poems in waiting.

You can also suggest your favourites from yours, or others

Holiday Card Project: Longmont United HospitalIf you guys didn't know, deviantart had an amazing Holiday Card Project this year. Deviants from around the world sent in their beautiful holiday cards, and they were distributed to hospitals. I was lucky enough to be one of the volunteers that distributed cards to spread the holiday cheer. I chose the Longmont United Hospital to hand out cards, as it holds a special place in my heart.
I received the cards in the mail earlier this week. The amount of artistic detail and creativity I saw with these cards was astonishing. You all have some real talent!

A few of the cards:

Bumblebee protected the cards from any intruders. She was giving everyone a stare down that came close to the cards.

Eventually, Bumble let me near the cards, so I went on my way to the hospital.

I arrived and went in to hand off the cards.

Holiday Card Project!Today was an amazing day, probably one of the best of my life. The card project went great, the caroling went awesome and the rest of the day was super fun too. I'd just like to tell you all how it went if that's alright

First we started out with getting up and eating food. Exciting right? Then was a 4 hour drive there, in which time we slept and got rested up to get to the hospital. We practiced our carols for 20 minutes before getting there and we headed in quickly because it was really cold out. We headed up to the transplant floor and talked to the nurse.
Our first roadblock came in the form of that they have 32 beds that can be filled... and they only had 15 patients there at the moment, 8 of which who were sleeping and didn't want to be bothered. Deviant art... sent me 50 cards even though I only requested 32. We just shrugged and went with it, going room to room to spread holiday cheer.
The first people we went to were two patients visiting in the hallway with too ladies. W

Holiday Card DeliveryI had the pleasure to deliver some holiday cards you wonderful deviants made this year. I called the University of Missouri Hospital Volunteer division. They were more than happy to accept the holiday cards from you deviants. The hospital is made up of many buildings as it is a training center used by the University students as well. I took a panoramic photo of most of the buildings which you can view below. I had to stand on the top of my car to get a decent image. I bet I looked like a fool with a camera in my hand as I turned slowly taking photos trying not to fall off the top of my car and keep my balance and position to get a decent picture. Lets just say I lost count after taking 15 panoramas, but I think I finally got one decent enough to show you.

New Folder! Song LyricsWe have added another gallery folder, "Song Lyrics." Any written song lyrics should be submitted to this folder from here on out. Enjoy! Music is love.

Writing Tips #3: Poetry (General edition)Poetry is a very broad thing to cover. However, I hope you find these general tips and tidbits helpful when writing. I hope you guys find this useful.
-Decide what format your poem will work the best with.
Think about what your poem is trying to be, and who it is targeted to. If you are planning to a poem for a more child-like audience, for example, you would generally want a lot of alliteration and rhyming to make it sound young and cheerful. However, if you wanted a more serious adult piece, you would most likely not make the poem rhyme due to the fact that rhyming makes it sound more childish (which is not always a bad thing!). Is your poem going fit better if you write it as a haiku or another Eastern poem or is it going to fit better as urban/spoken word? If you are writing Eastern poetry, then you will focus more on syllables and the themes of nature, peace, and things like that (traditionally speaking). If you write urban/spoken word, the poem is less dependent on rhyme schemes

National Novel Writing Month is here!Throughout the month of November you have one goal as a writer: Write a novel of at least 50,000 words, before December hits.
Every year, thousands of writers of all ages spend the month of November in the company of crumpled papers and the clacking of keyboards in the hopes of finishing their novels (or at least reaching the word limit). While it's challenging and time consuming, it encourages you to set real goals and get serious about your stories. I would encourage anyone interested to check out the National Novel Writing Month website ( http://www.nanowrimo.org/ ) and at least register. It allows you to have more support than some other places could, because it is specially made for this event.
Now, if enough of you say you will try it, I will post tips and motivational journals here on #Live-Write-Now to help you reach 50,000 words by the end of November. (Also, if you say you'll give it a shot, no registration or anything needed other than taking on a serious commitment, I'll gi

Change Is Coming...Hello All!
First of all, I want to offer my sincerest apologies for the lack of activity in BleedingHeartsPoetry as of late. The former head Admin !li1121 is obviously no longer an active deviant. He stepped down a few weeks ago in order to pursue real life.
I know the submission folder has reached its limit. I have been trying to think of ideas for how to handle this for a few days now. I don't want to continually create new feature folders every time one fills up. If anyone has any ideas--perhaps organizational ideas--that would be greatly appreciated.
All of this being said, my own life is very hectic. I am 23 years old, a wife, and working for an insurance company that requires mandatory overtime every week. The last thing I want to do is close down BleedingHearts. It was the first group I ever created, and it is still dear to me, despite my absence. What I am looking for is help.
I would like to find a few good admins who are online every day to help me run BleedingHearts, bec

NaNoWriMo!NaNoWriMo is just upon us! The month of November, or just two days away, is the National Novel Writing Month.
The point of NaNoWriMo is to create a 50,000 word novel in a month. Every night, as a schedule, you write about 1,700 words to 2,000, on a regular schedule and by the end of the month you have your 50,000 word novel. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work, but NaNoWriMo is something that can let you grow as an author and write into new ways that you never would have guessed.
Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It's all about quantity, not quality. The deadline approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.
On the website they have a lot of resources, such as pep talks, cartoons, published NaNoWriMo novels, and forums to talk to other people. The entire website is about getting you as a write all the help you need or want to make it through the month and write your novel.

Theme of the Week: Home

by ~Kiarorin, Nov 17, 2012, 6:45:51 PM
Journals / Personal

Home is where the heart is. Live in the city, live in the country, live in the jungles. Home is where you make it, like the bird makes a nest, like the wolves make a pack, like the leprechaun would dig an underground home.
You can do anything relating to what "home" means to you. So get comfortable and let inspiration find its way into your head... and makes its home there.

Happy upcoming Thanksgiving!

I sat down with the intention to write something as a piece. Instead it was a 4 page journal entry on me living with my girlfriend. Whoops!
