Contest Results
I thank all of the entrants and judges for making this another successful and wonderful contest! I look forward to more contests in the future and hope that all of you will participate again and spread the word. The next ecent is my upcoming workshop, "Obsessions". Learning new ways to express yourself through technique and use of creative ideas will hone your skills as a writer.
Take care,
-Joe-

Honorable Mentions (no particular order)
As you can obviously see, there are three honorable (honourable) mentions. I decided to include three because some of the entries were so moving and relatively well written.
On another note, I began last week by telling all of you that I have some very interesting news. I think it is time to reveal it (even though I would have rather done this in a couple of months, but I was kind of forced to deliver my hand -- you'll see why as I explain).
On the 16th of October at 9:00pm EST, I will host my own show on Blogtalk Radio. The station itself is called "WriterFace Station". What does this mean? Well, it means that thousands of people will be listening to me talk about my book, my experiences in publishing, both traditionally and self-publishing, a workshop I've created for writers, tips and advice, and various other useful elements that I will be sharing with my listeners. Now, most of you do not know what I've been doing over the summer (hence, my inevitable absences), and some of you probably won't care.
The offer I received from the owners of Schiel and Denver Publishing and WriterFace.com (WriterFace is part of Schiel&Denver and I highly recommend that you take a look at it), came much earlier than I had hoped, however, I will take the opportunity and run with it. I was approached and asked to do a show for them and was also highly encouraged to promote my work and book "Counting Clouds", along with whatever else I want to do. If the show goes well, I will actually be taking over the whole WriterFace station; meaning, I will be interviewing people, promoting their work, promoting my upcoming magazine (which will be available everywhere at the end of this coming summer), answering questions, hosting workshops, and inevitably stepping out into the world and changing it one word at a time.
Now, I'm sure some of you have question or doubts. I will answer the questions and leave the doubts where they should stay -- unvoiced and unrecognized. Will you be interviewing any writers on dA? Yes, actually. I have already determined who I want to interview but will not reveal who they are as of yet. How do I connect to this show? Go to WriterFace.com and click on the Radio tab at the top. My show is not listed yet, since I still have to turn in my outline for the show. (I also am in charge of tutorials on WriterFace -- just click on the tab. What is WriterFace? It's a fairly new sight for writers, literary agents (which is on of the departments my business handles), and those that love to read. If you join, friend request me: Joseph LM Sturm.
Any other questions? Either note me or leave a comment. Any doubts? Why the hell would I reveal any of this if I wasn't sure I was correct? :rollseyes:
I hope this is interesting enough.
Ciao,
-Joe-

Confessions
Type of Contest: Confessions
ENTRANTS
Count: 24
About the contest:
Hello everyone. Yes, I'm back with another contest. It's my umpteenth one so far, but this time, I've gotten together with *msklystron. Actually, it was she who came up with this wonderful idea. We're going to host a contest entitled "Confessions". Confessions is much like Post Secret where the "postee" writes about something he or she did and can post it anonymously. Usually, though, it's of the naughty or embarrassing nature. We've decided, however, to put the writer's flair into the design. The contestant is required to use a fictional character in their "confession". It's nothing too strenuous or mind boggling, so it's not likely to cause too much trepidation.
Begin writing in a Letter/postcard format with a Dear 'so and so' (or salutation) at the top. We encourage you to use
Start: August 28, 2009
Deadline: October 2, 2009 11:59:59 pm GMT
Guidelines: (written by *msklystron )
Here is an example as well: [link]
Rules:
Judges are able to enter.
Judging:
Judging will be simple. Each judge will vote for their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place picks, and they will receive 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point respectively. Once they've decided on their winners, they will send their votes to me via note. I will add all of the points together and send them to the judges for verification.
After the results are verified, I will post the winners in our news section. The judges are then free to comment however they like on the entries.
4th and 5th place will receive honorable mentions.
Judges are not able to vote for themselves.

Featured Deviant of the Month
The Featured Deviant of the month is:
=Osiristhrasher06
The Reluctant Ball--------------Harlot

The Swan and the Sea-----------------Moon Drip

Love - Ode to a Mermaid-------Kiss the Rain

--------Rendezvous

Justin is a blooming writer. Anyone with half a brain can drown in his imagery alone -- and love every second of it. That's what captured me. I don't mean that "Great Job. Good imagery" deal. I mean that he intuitively knows what words will affect a person's mind in the intended way. That's a secret that takes long to master and still longer to convey subtly. I personally await for more striking pieces and encourage him to never give up. Everyone will do well to keep a watch on his work.
