Other Interests: Literature, poetry, and art of all forms# About me
Nowadays, my art tends more towards poetry and prose, but I still dabble in sketches or photography when the mood strikes me. Pencil and ink are my preferred mediums, whether the strokes build stories through words or shadings.For now, my intent is mostly to browse and appreciate the wonder and beauty of others' deviations, so I apologize for the sparse profile. But eventually, I may be persuaded to submit my own attempts at expression. We'll see.
...for there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.

Mmm. Thank you for the encouragement. I have been writing, but recent efforts have been geared toward my novels, which are not meant for posting on here.

The sky? Forgive me. I'm attempting to transcribe all my plot bunnies from paper into electronic ink, and expand from there. Much easier to locate or rearrange...and harder to misplace. Here's to hoping my muse feels amiable.

XD... Plot bunnies? the essentials of your plots, I'm assuming?
Also, I do feel quite amiable.

Yes, plot bunnies. It's a common reference among novel writers. And I'm glad you feel amiable, and I hope my muse does as well. Which, fortunately, she has been.

Ah
(Nice how you dodged the point where I implied I was the muse)
Glad she's well. I hope your muse keeps feeling well.

Thank you Dodging implications keeps the wit sharp. An amusing and useful exercise.

Well, I'm glad I could be of use
If you don't mind me ask, who (or what) is the muse?

My muse is an enigmatic, fictional being who sometimes takes the shape of a woman, other times the shape of a nymph or fairy, who dictates my creative genius (or lack thereof) according to her whims. Sometimes she won't leave me alone, and other times I'm left bereft for days or weeks, longing for inspiration or means of expression. Altogether impossible and irrational and frustrating and (occasionally) glorious, she carries my joy or my desolation on her flighty shoulders, and dispenses it like manna to starved people. At the moment, we're getting along swimmingly.
What about yours?

My muse? To tell the truth, I still don't know.
Most of the time, though he's quite busy with me, dropping ideas into my head while I look at the sky, and providing a spark in my mind when I'm alone browsing the web. (Though often I'm lazy and I think he knows that). He's... interesting, and persistent. I wouldn't be half as good without him.

I know it may be hard getting page views with only words, but you have something... grand inside your work. I can't say exactly what it is, but something is there. I sense great things for you, White Lily.

I've read what you have posted.
Have you been writing long before you joined deviantart? Because most of the newly joined members only scratch out unoriginal, overused ideas. I know I certainly did.
But yours already have their own sense of style and certainly not bad in the slightest.

Hi. Actually, I have been writing off and on for quite a few years, but never really shown anyone most of my creative pieces. I've just never joined deviantART until now. I have some other work I plan on putting up, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Truth be told, I was waiting to see the response to my newer pieces before I jumped in head first.
Thank you for your feedback! It encourages me to write. It's great to hear I have a unique style. Originality is a plus, and I'm always trying to improve.

I think you have nothing to worry about and just keep posting your writings. I jumped head first when I started and my beginning writing was horrible. But I still keep them because I think its funny to see how far I have improved. Even though its not by much.
I would love to read more when you post.

Thanks! And if "Love Like Leprosy" is any judge, I'd say you've improved a lot...or if that's not an example of improvement, then you're doing your previous works a disservice
