Changes to the dX Live schedule
We’ve recently made some changes to our schedule. We’ll have our edited schedule ready to share shortly, but in the meanwhile, here’s what’s changing:
Parz will teach his Creative Writing class on every other Wednesday evening (9pm - 10:30pm, ET)
His next class will be on May 29
His classes will be live on YouTube starting in June
A recorded Dr. Matt class will be released onto Youtube on the opposing Wednesdays (also 9pm - 10:30pm, ET).
His next class recording will be released onto YouTube on June 5.
May’s Odd Day Challenge Update
There are only a few prompts left to go in May!
Forgot what they are? Here they are!
(And don’t forget to tag us when you post in social media!)
Get to know a Snoopervisor!
Dr. Matt coined a term - snoopervisor - which is an animal that feels the need to insert itself into whatever it is you happen to be doing at the time to make sure you’re doing it right!
Meet Sukhasya - (oversees Aleesha and Parz)
Sukhasya, aka Suki, aka The Self-Appointed Keeper of Time, is a 2-year old Ragdoll who, through the use of her beguiling looks, dedication to punctuality, and a meow that, while soft, can cut glass up to 20 cat-paces away, ensures that meal and snack times are never missed. Especially the 2 am one that isn’t officially recognized by the Sattva household. Or, as Suki puts it, not officially recognized yet.
As part of her campaign, she’s asked for the following survey (unedited by the Sattvas so as to honour Suki’s wishes) to be included here:
Thank you for your participation and helping to clear up the matter!
The Adventure of Prince Moribund - Story and Illustration by Parz
The tales of Prince Charming’s exploits are legion. The tales of his brother are less well known:
Prince Moribund approached the ruin on his mangy nag. The weary sun was just setting, highlighting the flicker of torchlight from the highest chamber of the surviving tower. The Prince peered into what had been the moat, now only a muddy ditch home to scavenging dormice. Gingerly he made his way across the rotting drawbridge, trying not to slip into the fetid muck beneath. Reaching the other side safely, Moribund slumped tiredly into a prone lump and began to snore.
Did You Know That…?
…To become a writer - write! To become a creator - create!
An article in LitHub from the immensely talented science-fiction author Ursula K. Le Guin manages to encapsulate everything I think there is to say about the art of writing. In essence, if you want to become a writer - write! (It’s a brilliant article, worthy of the few minutes it’ll take to read).
And there is, of course, the extension of this rule to anyone who wants to become a creator - create!
It’s never too late to pick up a pen and a piece of paper and draw (however imperfectly) or write (no matter the size of your vocabulary). And we at dX will applaud your efforts, offer encouragement, and hope to see the next piece of creativity you set your hand to!
