We’ve just begun something new on the Wild Violet Facebook page, a weekly creativity prompt. Hop on over to the Facebook page to view our weekly prompt. Then share your response, either by including it in a comment or by sharing a link. Don’t forget to “like” us while you’re there.
This idea was inspired in part by poet Maurice Oliver, a Wild Violet contributor who just began a Tumblr account where he’s posting a photo and a poem every day.
I also just set up the Wild Violet Twitter page, so please follow us.
In addition, we’re looking for suggestions for material to include in the 10th Anniversary Book, and I’d like to hear what people’s favorite pieces are. Please take some time and look through our Archives to suggest material to include. You can make the suggestions by e-mailing Wild Violet: wildvioletmagazine@yahoo.com.
