Submission requirements

Electricka and The Muse Of Language Arts jointly invite you to submit a quote for publication in The Quote Of The Day feature.

Your write-up should be a brief description of a single quotation drawn from anywhere that you believe would be of interest to Electricka's visitors.

Your submission should be one of the following: 1) either a quote, or 2) a quote along with your personal opinions or other comments about the quote. Personal opinions and comments are optional. Since all quotations are matters of language, the subject of your quotation does not have to be about the language arts.

Your quote doesn't have to be about the arts or about one of Electricka's muses. The quotation you submit may be:

  • Original, meaning that you thought it up all by yourself.

  • Thought up by others you know personally.

  • Thought up by someone you don't know personally.

  • Obscure or famous.

  • Drawn from almost any imaginable source.

Submissions to the Quote Of The Day feature generally meet these requirements:
