This group will be migrated to the new design soon. Please contact the group admins to start the migration and save content the group may lose access to.

Welcome!

Write-From-the-Heart has recently gone under a few major changes, so we're still getting our ducks in a row here. That doesn't mean our love of literature has been affected, so anyone is welcome to join and contribute to our group. All literature is accepted here, as long as it came write from your heart.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Comment below or note me, MaxwellSmaart. I promise I don't bite.

Thank you for visiting; we hope to have you again!

Turns out I'm absolutely horrible at running a group, and I feel badly about it. This little group has a great thing going, but it's nowhere near its fullest potential.
Honestly, I could come up with thousands of reasons for my inactivity-- I'm a student, I'm perpetually drowning in schoolwork, it's been some crazy months for me-- but none of them should be used as an excuse. I'm guilty, and you can hold me to it.
To make matters worse, I haven't done a thing here since the group was handed to me by the lovely CitrusHigh (formerly known as Beabeabeatrice). To be quite frank, I feel like a bitch.

However, feeling like a bitch has also brought a different feeling about. I feel motivated. Especially since my summer break is right around the corner. Things will be different here soon, so spread the word. I'm tired of feeling like a bitch.

Until I come up with an amazing project or contest, I'll leave you with some (hopefully) helpful writing prompts in order to get those creative juices flowing:
:bulletred:Pick ten people you know and write a one-sentence description for each of them.
:bulletorange:Take a piece of your writing that you have written in first person and rewrite it in third person, or vice-versa. You can also try this exercise changing tense, narrators, or other stylistic elements.
:bulletyellow:Choose one noun, adjective and verb. Make them as random as possible. Write a story using these words in context. You can also do this exercise with a fellow writer and give each other your noun, adjective and verb to see what you both come up with.
:bulletgreen:Grab the 7th book from your bookshelf. Open it up to page 7. Pinpoint the 7th sentence on the page. Begin a poem that begins with that sentence and limit it in length to 7 lines.
:bulletblue:What did you eat for lunch? Write a haiku about each item you ate.
:bulletpurple:Write a 600-word first-person story in which you use the first person pronoun (“I” or “me” or “my”) only two times—but keep the “I” somehow important to the narrative you’re constructing.

Also, another group worth mentioning with some amazing ideas and intentions: Glory-Be-Project. Check them out; they have an inspiring group running!

I hope this works as some food for thought for a short while. I've got some ideas brewing; keep your eyes peeled for any updates and spread the word!
Happy writing!

Would anyone like to write a story for me in exchange for some points? I have a ton saved up, don't really have anything to spend them on, and am suffering from a horrendous writers block! Sorry if this counts as spam but I'm just not really sure where to post something like this??

Hey! Sorry for advertising, but a mate of mine (who is a writer) just recently made this website blog thing for fantasy writing, worldbuilding, and characterisation tips.
It focuses a lot on realism and warfare as well.

He doesn't have a dA account so he's been bugging me to advertise the site for aaggeess. Yup. So please check it out xD
And please post it on your journal if you think it’s any good and will help other writers! Thanks!

By the way, since I’m putting up websites for fantasy writing stuff, here are Limyaael’s Rants for those who don’t know of them already. Quite famous in the fantasy writing world! :)

I submitted my piece, "Giraffes" to the wrong folder... ^^;
I meant to put it in the contest folder, so, do you think you could fix that for me? Sorry ^^;

Also, if read the description to the piece, would you say it still qualifies for the contest. It is bending the rules a bit, so I understand if you choose not accept it. Thanks again :XD:
