Inspiration for the Theme (The Body)

I know some people might need a little muse to get those brain gears turning for the theme on the blog: The Body. And so, I found a website that tackled the same theme as we are now. The examples may help to inspire you. Enjoy.

Poetry examples of "The Body":

Preview: All my pinky ever hits is "Shift"
And I think it's getting tired of that
What with soreness, stiffness, and a rift
'Twixt it and the missing wedding band.

And remember, the body can be as literal or abstract as you like, and can even focus on a particular element of the body.

Announcement: Site Fixes

I'd like to make a quick note to users that this site is now accessible for comments by everyone- meaning even if you do not have a gmail account or are a member of Blogger, you can leave comments on the posts. This is to encourage Pratt students and others to interact with each others work and leave construction criticism.

Another quick fix, posts will now be marked with labels for all your easy searching needs. :-) Here are the labels that you will find posts marked under:

Announcement: Call for Submissions/Blog Theme #1

The deadline for submissions for the Ubiquitous Magazine is on February 24th. Please be sure to submit your work before that date.

From this point onward, the blog will also be accepting submissions as a separate zone from the magazine.

The blog will run its own events and submission deadlines all year round, and will be a different entity for people to interact with. The blog will start being more active by introducing Theme Writing. Occasionally, the blog will post a theme, and the goal is for artists and writers to produce work from that theme. Of course, non-theme-related submissions are just as welcome.

Here is theme #1: The Body

Relay all submissions for the blog at ubiquitous.submissions@gmail.com and specify that your entry is for the blog. The deadline for these submissions is on February 28th. Have fun and feel free to interpret the theme in any way you like.

What can you do to keep this blog active? Have any recommendations- art, poetry, literature that you've found really interesting? Know of any events that people might want to hear about? Have any submissions? Send 'em all at the Ubiquitous email!

NaNoFiMo

Now that NaNoWriMo has ended, some of you may have an unfinished project on your hands and no idea what to do with it. Well, the events aren't over. December is the month for NaNoFiMo, an affiliate of NaNoWriMo to encourage writers to edit and finish their pieces.

Don't have time this month because of all your finals and projects? Visit their "I Wrote a Novel, Now What?" page for a heads up on upcoming events.
