Contest Results: "Be In My Masquerade"

On Nanowrimo YWP we have a biweekly songwriter's contest. The winner of this week's contest is Azzie's song: "Be In My Masquerade," and the lyrics are emotionally empowering.

"If we dance and
Weave a basket of lies
When you open your eyes
Will you be alright?
Would you recognize fake?
Embrace it anyway?
Would you still hold me?
Would you want to stay?
Would wanna stay?
Be in my masquerade


I’ve impersonated rainbows

And been the twinkle in your eye
But you peel away my mask
And I think it makes you cry
Would you hold the crumbling pieces
Of the girl you thought you knew?
Don’t be afraid to be surprised
I thought I knew her, too


So if we dance

And I unveil my eyes
Will your skin go pale?
Will you still be mine?
Will you recognize fake?
Embrace it anyway?
Will you take off your mask
End our masquerade?
Please end our masquerade"

I, Alex, was the judge of the contest this time. I really enjoyed this song because I could just imagine this masquerade and I just loved the tune to it. It was so refreshing to hear someone sing an original song and I could just close my eyes and imagine I was there.

Now, Azzie, is a sweet person who is an amazing songwriter. She always makes me, and I bet others, feel better about themselves. She's so supportive! I have a feeling that a lot of people on Nanowrimo YWP love talking to her; I know I do. How about a round of applause for her and her wonderful song? Please leave a comment to show your support!

Biblio-Files: The Secret Garden

By
Hello good friends! Today we will be reviewing The Secret Garden. Published in 1911 by Frances Hodgson Burnett, it's a fantastic book about enjoying the outdoors and how much a good friend can help someone out. The good message and excellent writing make it a beloved classic still read today, over 100 years later. She also wrote "The Little Princess" and "Little Lord Fauntleroy," both books I have read and enjoyed, though I believe this is her best one. With its folksy characters and low-key plot, this book is perfect for readers who want to read at a slower pace. It talks a lot about the benefits of being outside and being kind to animals, but it doesn't feel overly preachy. The main characters are Mary, a sickly Indian girl, Dickon, a boy who can talk to animals, and Colin, the son of the master of the house. Together they bring a secret garden to life, becoming as strong and bright as the roses they grew within the ivy-covered walls. I, personall...

The Character Files: 01. Katniss Everdeen: The Girl on Fire, the Mockingjay, and the YA Icon

By
THE CHARACTER FILES 01. The Girl On Fire Hello everyone! And welcome to The Character Files , a weekly article I'll be writing that delves into analysis's of popular characters! Starting off, I'll cover the face of young adult dystopia herself - Katniss Everdeen. There will be spoilers for the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins, so be warned! From The Mockingjay Part 1 Risen from the Ashes (Background) “District Twelve. Where you can starve to death in safety.” -Katniss Everdeen, the Hunger Games   As were most of the non career districts, District 12, Katniss’ birthplace, was rife with poverty. Disease and starvation were rampant, many people dying from them. (It is interesting to note that, despite seeing ill people frequently since her mother treats them, Katniss is not desensitized to seeing sickness. In fact, she is one of the least desensitized to it.) And...

Comparing Digital Art Programs

By
The world of digital art programs can be a tricky plane to navigate. Whether you're a budding digital artist looking for beginners programs to start on or a professional artist with a bunch of experience, here is a quick list of some of the more well-known names in digital art! Krita  - FREE Krita is a free, open-source software that is becoming much more popular among digital artists. The interface has full customization, so you can fix it to look almost however you want. It gives you access to all  brushes, colors, and other settings from the beginning without extra purchases. It's also quite advanced and powerful. Some drawbacks of Krita are that there is a learning curve, as the interface can be quite tricky. It's also very laggy and slow, especially on older laptops. (P.S.: If you like the software, consider donating to the Krita Foundation! They work on this software for free, and it's always nice to give back.) FireAlpaca - FREE FireAlpaca...
