Imaginarium, a Snippet

“Why did you do that?” Memnos demanded, although his tone was one of shock more than anything else. She had done the unthinkable. She had swallowed a nightmare. “Because you are more important to humanity than I am. Mortals need you to protect their dreams. Besides, I really wanted to kiss you, so I figured this was as good an excuse as any.” Memnos laughed despite himself, but his humor felt hollow even to him. Then he let out a snarl, grabbing Stella by both shoulders. She blinked at him, surprised by his sudden severe grasp, but did not protest. “Mortals be damned. Why would I care about them? Blast it all,

A Cloak of Purest White

One day there was a little girl, who lived in a cottage at the edge of the woods with her parents. She was young and sweet and mild, and her mother and father loved her so much that on her 11th birthday they gave her a cloak of purest white. "Here," said her mother, "wear this about your shoulders as you take this basket of goodies to visit your grandmother. She would love to see you on your birthday. But be sure to return home long before nightfall so we can celebrate together this evening." The little girl nodded, looped her arm through the basket and the cloak's ties under her throat, and skipped out the door and down the path to her gr

Inner Demons: Fane's Dark Reverie

Fane's hands trilled across the piano keys as he digested the events of the past two days. Jaegar had been disappointed with their failure; his posture and clasped hands neatly stored behind his back had instantly revealed that. But he had not been angry. Fane, conversely, had been furious, furious beyond appeasement, furious to the point of recklessness. And he had been quite reckless. Perhaps unwisely so, which he was willing to admit only to himself. But he had felt justified. It had been Jira's fault, and she deserved to be punished for her negligence and flagrant stupidity. She had been too eager for bloodshed; she had made them lose im

Literature

The Sinking Treasure

What is it like to be a captain who goes down with his ship? Is it that he has such a strong sense of devotion to his vessel, that the captain in him just can't abandon the symbol of his life, or that his love for the ocean trumps even his sense of self preservation, that the waves beckon him onward with the strength and temptation of a siren's song, so strongly that he knows his final calling is to let the ocean overtake him? Or is it something else that conjures up his attachment to these wooden planks and curved sails? Is it a sense of partnership, the knowledge of all those years of service and seafaring culminated in one object - all th

A Lover's Cup by Fuzzle-wit, literature

Literature

A Lover's Cup

Why are you bound for the sky, while I am stuck here? I see you hovering just beyond my reach And no matter what I do, I cannot call you back. You are a bird destined to abandon its cage, And no pretty words or wheedling pleas can make you stay. You leave me behind, curling in upon yourself as you climb through the atmosphere, Exalting in a high I cannot obtain. You are elusive and intangible, shapeless and insubstantial, Here and gone in a moment. It is natural for me to want to keep you. And natural for you to want to rid yourself of me. You resist me as if we are magnets with opposing poles, Our partnership written

Steam by Fuzzle-wit, literature

Literature

Steam

Cloud vapor, Curled, Positively elusive, Swaying to and fro with the nudge of a breath. Shapeless, Swirling, Irresistibly intangible, Congealing as water droplets on any surface in your path. Twisting in upon yourself whenever you see fit, Yet disappearing as rapidly as if you'd never existed at all. Here in a moment, Gone in another. Rising and disappearing into the insubstantial atmosphere And taking with you the precious heat Of my beverage.

The Guiding Light by Fuzzle-wit, literature

Literature

The Guiding Light

His dreams came to him in lucid waves, as if he were floating in space, or under water, or falling down a well. It was hard for him to make out the things around him, and hard for him to understand what was going on. But there was one goal. Just one goal. He had to get to that outline of a door that emerged from the shadows. It was a burning beacon that was calling him forward, calling his name with such a sweet melody. He had to reach it, and with each forceful step he propelled himself closer to it. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he was through the doorway into a realm that was completely ne

Impossible Veins by Fuzzle-wit, literature

Literature

Impossible Veins

A mass of capillaries, stretching out like tiny webbed fingers, snaking their way around the body, tracing paths to organs and appendages and connecting them all back to the central circuitry: the heart. Little blue lines under the skin, weaving intricate roads as they bring the vital "nectar of the vampires" from place to place. They are so important, and yet they are sluggish. Their precious liquid cargo arrives to its destination late, making the fingers cold. The transmission of their oxygen-poor and carbon dioxide-rich shipment to the lungs is also delayed, but whether it influences breathing cannot be known

Wings by Fuzzle-wit, literature

Literature

Wings

If I could float, If I could glide on a wind current, I would. If I could soar, If I could rise up past clouds and space, And find a place where the oxygen is clear and I could breathe freely I would. If I could rush into the unforgiving atmosphere In a bolt of adrenalin, And refuse to stop until the ground below No longer existed, I would. If I could fall into the vast expanse of heaven And disappear forever, Leaving only a pinprick of color to mark what I used to be, I would. But I can't. I can't fly. I can't ascend past the boiling rock of resentment That weighs me down. I don't have the strength to overco

House of Cards by Fuzzle-wit, literature

Literature

House of Cards

Simple house of cards Flimsy, Tipsy, Precariously tilting toward destruction. A breath of air, the brush of a feather, will send it tumbling down. Yet still you build. Reaching higher, Racing farther, Stretching upward into the sky, presumably toward infinity. Paper walls of your castle, Fragile, Breakable, Constructed to conceal Your secrets. But the foundation is crumbling And the walls are falling in. And soon your lovely house of cards will collapse, leaving you nothing, not even a joker.

Holiday Card Project 2012

Nov 7, 2012

It's back! With the goal of bringing a little cheer to patients in the hospital during the holiday season, the deviantART Holiday Card Project connects deviants from around the world and applies their tremendous artistic abilities in designing and creating uplifting holiday cards. In past years, the Project has received more than 5,000 cards sent in by more than 1,000 deviants from 50 different countries/political regions. Cards were then divvied up and distributed in-person by deviantART members to local Los Angeles, CA hospitals, with additional cards given to various hospitals in the U.S. and abroad for hospital staff members to hand out

My Bio

Hello there! I'm Fuzzle-wit, a day-dreaming word scribbler with a Persephone complex, and I leave you to figure out exactly what that means. Welcome to my page!

I'm a writer. Ink swirls in my veins, and I've never been more at home than between the pages of a good book (or notebook, for that matter).

I'm a grad student (Publishing, Writing, and Literature) who recently graduated from college (English Major, Ancient Studies Minor, and Book Studies Concentrator), so naturally, things do not occur in a timely manner around here, as school is currently absorbing the last vestiges of my soul. But feel free to leave me a message if you'd like to talk to me or have a question and I promise that I'll get back to you eventually.

Thanks for stopping by! And please feel free to leave me any quotes, song titles, random facts, or words of the day. I love inspiration in any form it may take.

Current Residence: Maine, the Underworld, or Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
Favourite genre of music: Depends on my mood.
Favourite style of art: LITERATURE of all sorts, and traditional art
Operating System: Mac OS X
MP3 player of choice: None: iPod named Orpheus

Don't know when I passed the 20,000 mark for page views, but thanks everyone! I find it perfectly coincidental that it matches exactly to the time I passed the 20,000 word mark in NaNoWriMo. Woo!

Haha, no worries! Clearly I'm just as bad as you are when it comes to not keeping in touch. But I'm so glad to hear you're doing well! I'm heading to grad school in a week (yikes!) and things are good, overall! "Just fine, a little dark, a little gloomy, and as always, hey, full of dead people, whaddaya gonna do?" XD

Hey! Just happened across that conversation of ours from months back mentioning self-publishing. How's that going for you? Have you been looking into options and stuff?

Fuzzle-wit

Sep 13, 2013

Hi! It's so good to hear from you! I feel like we start these great conversations that then sort of drop away, haha! Ah well, as is life.
So far, I haven't looked into self-publishing programs too thoroughly, but it's an option I still want to learn more about. I get emails from programs like Book Baby, but I haven't finished the project that I would want to publish D: So I have to work more on that for sure. I'm thinking about NaNoWriMo, but I'm not sure if I can do it this year. *sigh* I might do it with a collection of short stories that I'm thinking about, that way I can at least finish one project...

What about you? How's your writing coming along? Are you thinking about NaNoWriMo? (Haha let me just ask all the questions about your writing life in the recent past/present). Also, how's Epic?

Since I don't check DA as much as I should (or used to) maybe we can exchange emails or something? That way we can talk more often about writing and our writing processes, and I feel like I'm more inclined to write if I surround myself with fabulous writers like yourself.

Keep in touch!

yeaaah that's 'cause I'm really lousy at replying to messages. I'm still getting the hang of the whole social interaction thing--slow learner.

I think it's worth committing to one project, yeah! Short stories are tough, to be sure. That's what I've been writing, because of my courses, and it's some nasty stuff. Honestly, I think writing a good short story can be even more challenging than finishing a novel. As for NaNoWriMo, as much as I love it, I skipped last year and I'll probably skip this year too. I'm going to try and tap in to the frenzied atmosphere of creativity during November to motivate myself to get a little bit of writing done, but NaNo itself has a certain kind of pressure that, while super fun, can also be kinda stressful. With my school stuff getting in the way, I'm leery of taking on a big commitment like that.

What's the project you're thinking of self-publishing? If I self-publish (and I'm planning to do so with Epic once I finish the dang thing) I'll likely go with a big company like Lulu (I've had great experience with them in the past). With them, at least everything is relatively straightforward. I'm worried about falling for some small company's marketing traps and wasting money doing something silly.

My writing is not coming along at all because I'm a lazy butt, but, well, what's changed? :'D I'm sorta trying to get back in the saddle, but boy, it's hard. I'm also working on another commitment which I can tell you about later--it's kicking my butt right now, so trying to juggle that plus school plus writing is getting hard. I have none of the discipline necessary for being a writer.

It's a process, haha.

Yeah, shoot me an email anytime--austheke (AT) gmail (DOT) com! It rings on my phone so I'll be sure to see it.

Haha, no worries! I'm wretched at replying to messages too, as proved by the time it took for me to reply to this message!

I definitely agree that it's easier to commit to one project, although I do tend to be pulling multiple strings at once. I hope you were able to use the environment of NaNo to your advantage! I ended up using it to finish a draft of my senior thesis, but... at least I was writing, I guess, right? A good short story absolutely can be just as challenging to weave together as a fabulous novel, with the added hurdle of concision to contend with.

I'm actually thinking of publishing a novel-length project called Inner Demons, a work I've had sitting on my plate for years and still need to finish. Ooh, I'll have to check out Lulu; I haven't heard of it, but I love the idea of working with a larger company that has notoriety and doesn't have any contract traps.

Haha I hear you.

Having the motivation, not to mention the time, to commit to writing is difficult! I'm glad to know it's not just me. We can struggle through together! I hope the other commitment that's been taking up your time has been easier to manage, along with classes, which I hope are also going well!

My email address is: liv-eternally@hotmail.com. I'm definitely more likely to check back there, so we can continue to talk about all things writing!
