| Thanks to =Snapperz and ~Jillianelf, I began to teach myself to create digital art just over a year ago, at first working on a sub-compact laptop using the little internal mouse joystick thingy. My digital art folder shows my progress. |

Getting Published the Hard WayGETTING PUBLISHED: THE TRADITIONAL WAY A tutorial by M. Alice ChownGetting Published the Hard Way
If, like me, you have stories lying around gathering virtual dust on your hard drive, why not send them out to a publisher? You have nothing to lose. A couple of years ago, I attended the launch of an annual Canadian short story anthology, called Tesseracts 10. I knew one of the authors whose speculative fiction piece had been included in the book. Matthew Johnson and I had taken the same creative writing course. Our former prof, author, Robert Sawyer, was there at the launch too, as well as the editors of the anthology. Those who had contributed a s

On FatherhoodDear Post Secret,On Fatherhood
I don’t know how to explain this to my wife. I think fatherhood has warped me for life. I can no longer watch movie porn and gore. My buddies are starting to think I’m a bore. I traded my sports coupe for a mini-van. I traded my baseball cards... Am I still a man? Worst of all, I’ve lost all interest in beer. The guys at work are going to think I’m queer. (Uh, not that there’s anything wrong with that.) And when my wife asked if her jeans made her look fat, I gave her the right answer. What are the odds of

Divorcing Ed.I need change. I have been part of an abusive relationship for way too long. With Ed.Divorcing Ed.
Ed is part of me. He weaves his way through my insecurities. He plants doubts and accusations. He infiltrates my thoughts. He finds humor in controlling the small things. He makes his opinion, mine.
He plays me like a puppet in his own sickening little game. He tells me his way is the right way. It's not.
But sometimes he won't listen, he makes me destructive. He fools me into thinking I'm nothing. But that's where he's wrong. I have worth. I'm taking back my life.

u know u luv meee
When I came to your page, I was impressed yet again with the image you featured. The textures are amazing. One way in which art is magic, to me, is when a flat piece of paper no longer looks flat. I am easily amused and proud of it!
