The Search for Soup by adventwinter, literature

The Search for Soup

Deep in a middle of a distant forest stood a small log cabin. Inside the cabin lived a man with his four unlikely companions: Hen, Rabbit, Goat, and Dog. One day the man became very sick, and all his companions gathered around him in concern. "Is Master going to die?" whimpered Dog. "He has a very bad fever," Hen clucked worriedly. "There must be something we can do for him." "Some more blankets?" "A nice cuppa." "What he needs to get better is nice hot nourishing meal," decided Goat. "Can any one of us cook?" Rabbit timidly put forth. A minute of silence followed. "Perhaps a soup," someone suggested. A chorus of agreeme

The Little Match Girl

This little match girl went out to the land Bearing a handful of matches in hand. "Sell them all!" was the shouted command. As it was quite a fine spring day, She left her coat and went on her way To brave the town and come what may. But then while walking she looked up with a frown As snow began falling all over the town, As soon disappeared the spring green and brown! I can't feel my fingers, thought the poor shivering girl. She'd no coat, no shoes, and no umbrella to twirl. So she chose a match "I'll give it a whirl!" She warmed by fire, food, and four walls. She sees her grandmother and runs to her calls. Above this girl's h

The Sound of Rain

There's a sound that sounds familiar. It is one that doesn't belong here. It's a pitter patter and wet sort of sound. It's like the sound of scampering little feet. It's late in the morning, where's everyone now? I should be hearing those people sounds: The talking, the walking, the shouting, the scraping. But I don't hear a single footfall. No one is coming, no one has come Since the bad thing happened two weeks ago. Is this what it's like to be forgotten? Am I to exist now forever forgotten? I'll be waiting, even through the rain. I'll be waiting, even if I'm forgotten. So please don't forget me. Please come back. There's no

Orange by adventwinter, literature

Orange

I tell her He was sleeping when they did it, He didn't feel a thing. I don't tell her That I watched him scream in terror As they held him down. She doesn't tell me That I looked a mess, Though my eyes must have been red and swollen. As we walk to the car, We laugh and talk about lunch As if it was an normal happy day. We don't tell each other How sad we are Or that we wonder if what we did was right. I open the door And catch a glimpse of orange fur. It breaks my heart. But I don't tell her. We stare in silence, It's a silence filled with words We don't have to say.

Using HTML on deviantART by ScarletteDeath, journal

Using HTML on deviantART

May 13, 2011

Hello! Hello and welcome to my little html tutorial. I've been working with html codes for a couple of years and I'm going to teach you what I know about using some basic html on deviantART. This won't make you a html expert or something and I'm not an expert myself but it will give just enough knowledge to make your journals, comments, news articles and other neat and lovely looking. :) deviantART actually has FAQs about html but I still wanted to do this because they look a bit unorganized, in my opinion. Also, why would you want to look for those FAQs when you can just open this news article where you have everything in one place? :dummy

Project Educate: Photographing Infants + Children

Sep 1, 2012

Photographing infants and children can either be really painful and frustrating, or incredibly fun and rewarding. It depends entirely on the child. I kid, sort of. It's what you make of it and how you treat the moment. Children are fast, sometimes moody, sometimes hyper and nearly always think they know what you want them to do when you turn the camera on them. Either run, or crack that huge fake camera smile that they've been taught to do for their school photographs. :bulletblack: Don't force a smile. If the child doesn't want to smile, don't make them. You'll end up with the fake smile. However having said that, you can try and be funny,

Workshop - WritersInk: Setting the Scene

PASSIVE A man is sitting in a chair, holding his head in the palm of his right hand while clasping a violin in his left. He sighs, knowing that what he needs is inspiration, an image to hold in his head to convey the emotions in this piece. He needs a peaceful image, but where is he supposed to find that? His eyes sweep around his room of the hundredth time that day: he is resting his elbow on a table in beside his chair, behind him is his bed, in front of him is a space he had cleared so he could stand and move while practicing, everywhere else where things he had scattered while making said space and things he'd have to clean up later.

Facts about me: Christian, loves cats, LOVES cats, avid reader (mostly classics), reads some manga, watches some anime, what else do you want to know?

Shoot me a note or message if you feel like it and I'll probably reply. Although please do try to use proper English. "Chatspeak" will have a high probability of being ignored.

I'll always be happy to be asked for a request ;v;

[PROJECT ADVENTWINTER]
Calling it a project in all caps makes it sound bigger that it is XD but I can't make unrealistic goals for myself, because then I would be setting myself up to fail. So the objective of this endeavor is to write or draw AND upload consistently AND upload a major work once a month. Not impressive, admittedly. But hey, it's a start.

Back...?

0 min read

Hello dA! adventwinter here. I disappeared again, didn't I? I want to list my excuses (laughs) Let's see, I disappeared last year because I had to focuse on school. This year, I didn't come back, because... well I was scared of coming back, I think. Having to do all the catching up, then trying not to disappear, then disappearing anyway (deep sigh) So why am I here? I have a big exam in less than 9 hours. So once again, I am doing what I do best: procrastinating. I really am lazy. Anyway this is just my senseless rambling in an attempt to procrastinate. Thanks for reading and see you around~

I've been avoiding dA like the plague ever since they rolled in the update that made dA look like Facebook >_> But here I am... for now. I finally used a graphic tablet for the first time XDXD Installing it is... annoying XD Or maybe that's just because I'm simply inexperienced. I want to keep writing. I want to keep doodling. I want to learn to use SAI. I want to get good grades. I want to watch DRRR! Season 2. I want to watch Psycho Pass. I want to spend more time with my friends. I want to have more time to sleep. I want to have more time in the world. That's it, folks, for today's pointless update XD Thank you for putting up wit
