Dear ~ViolinSpine,
I'm here on behalf of #transliterations and to be frank, also myself. You may not know that we're currently running a contest to translate music into literature (be it poem, flash fiction or other) via a 'musical map'--a visual representation of a chosen song or piece. We have a little under five days left in the running for this contest, and I personally would really love to see you enter.
All the necessary details, including the all-important prize list, can be found in this news article and this blog. If you have any questions or indeed, want to slap me about for messing up your page, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Many thanks for your time!
Sarah

Hi Alexander, thanks for the "watch". At a glance, I'm very interested in the work you have up here too, and hope to have the time to return for a closer look soon.
Just wanted to say I love your gallery! Great work. I love your voice. Hope to see you around my gallery, I would love some feedback. Keep being awesome!
