Blueprints for BabelIt's an old truth that all towers fall.Blueprints for Babel by ~TheHungerArtist
Everything we build, we build from rubble.

but in foolishly imagining h

but that we do not dream hard enough.
Even in the beginning, God expected us to name the world.
And we could only utter stumblings in that Ur-tongue,
inventing the invention of ideas.
Even before we tasted the tree,
even before we knew that we could ever be wrong,
we clung to the referential alchemy of language.

ostit: Results of `GeneratingHype's Workshop on Dialogue
#Writers-Workshop This workshop was not only was fun to participate in, but also educated our members (and admins) in the conventions of good dialogue in prose. There were some excellent critiques provided, and our members clearly thought about the things they had learnt from `GeneratingHype’s introduction and polls. We recommend reading `GeneratingHype's guide, written with the help of !EveningDownpour:
Punctuating Dialogue: A Guide.
We were extra lucky with this workshop to have someone who edits for a profession. We are even luckier an

Film
Film as a word conjures up something special. A unique feeling. Almost a different texture than words like movie or video. When someone asks you to go see a movie on the weekend you think, “Oh cool, that’ll be fun,” but if someone asks you to go to a film festival the feeling you get is entirely different. It feels like an investment of your time, one for which you want to plan accordingly and enjoy thoroughly.
And this is exactly what we are bringing you with deviantART Film. An experience meant to be enjoyed from the moment you hit watch to the very end of the film be
