spetchisaurus asked: I know I just asked a question and you already replied but... Technically isn't writing a visual art? I mean, you see the words. Now, I'm not saying that spoken word is visual. But writing, like books and poems, is totally visual. You have to see them with your eyes to appreciate them.

Answer:

Yeah, in that sense, it is literally visual. However, the term “visual arts”, as a whole and not just taking it as two separate words, has its own meaning that does not include writing, but does include a broad spectrum of media and forms.

In the end, you and I could debate about writing being a “visual” art as much as we want, but we don’t accept writing problems. Not because we don’t consider writing to be a serious, deep, and creative pursuit, but because that’s not the area we cover. If this bothers you, I apologize, but that’s how this blog is gonna roll.

#spetchisaurus  #ask  #sorry :(  #i like writing don't get me wrong. but this is how it's gonna be. 

spetchisaurus asked: Wait... You guys don't take music or writing submissions? Music and writing are just as much art as anything else. I don't know why, but I actually find that super offensive.

Answer:

Yachumi and I definitely agree. Music and writing are definitely forms of art.

However, the reason we don’t accept writing or music submissions is because it would be more fitting for submissions pertaining to those areas to be submitted to musicproblems or writingproblems (the latter of which appears to be inactive, but unfortunately, we have no control or business over this. You are also totally free to start your own writing problems blog, and spend your own energy running it).

Our focus is the visual arts. We never stated anywhere that we do not consider music or writing to be forms of art.

Edit: fixed link to musicproblems.
