Let's Talk.

So if you haven't heard, our school has this publication we call Prism, and we publish a book of writing and art at the end of every school year.  Now, some of you may not have realized this, but never fear.  I will, once and for all, clear up all of your confusion.  Hopefully.

We're all intelligent, creative people, and Prism is a way for us to show off more than usual.  You get the bragging rights to say that you got published.  I know most people don't care, but think about it this way... it's a competition.  You must defeat your classmates.

Don't think your writing is good enough?  Think again.  In the past, we have gotten submissions entitled "Death and My Other Favorite Things" that rhymed "pain" with "rain" and "again."  Ok, so that's an exaggeration, but you get the idea.  You can write a lot better than that.

Also, we review everything anonymously.  Well, the writing, that is.  I don't know why you'd want your art to be anonymous though.  But if you don't want anyone to know that you wrote a sestina about your love for Nickelback and Twilight, then you can simply turn it in without your name on it.  If you decide to include your name to earn eternal glory, then you will be comforted by the fact that, when we rate everything that you submit, we get a packet of work with the names removed. 

Still not convinced?  Then do me a favor and threaten some juniors or underclassmen into submitting their work. 

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or Haley, or just comment on this post.
