Cat's Eye View: deviantArt

Are you too shy or busy to join a writing group? Poems not getting accepted (yet) by your favorite journal? You want the world to read your words but don't know how to get them out there. deviantArt might be a good place to start.

deviantArt is a community with millions of members who create countless works of art, from poetry and prose to photography and computer animation. You can create a profile, post your work and wait for comments. There are also communities to join, such as Poetry Please, where you can submit your own and respond to others' poetry, participate in online collaborations, chat, network and learn. There will be a special Q&A chat session with deviantArt poet zebrazebrazebra tonight at 10:00 Est. (-GMT) in the Poetry Please chatroom.

Check out deviantArt today. Maybe you'll find some great new artists to enjoy or find that all-important poetry portal for your own work.
