This month, I have the pleasure of taking National Poetry Writing Month quite seriously, since I find myself with a bit more time (and artistic motivation) than usual.
My writing goals for April? I'm looking to make serious progress with my own breakout poetry collection, which needs formatting, illustrations, and the final publishing push. I'm also working with my friends in the Starcrossed Poetry Community to edit and publish our first collective anthology, which we're hoping to have done before the end of the month. To keep myself accountable, I'm looking to ENSURE that I create at least 1 piece (of writing, or illustrations for my collection) every day for 30 days... something that has always historically been a challenge for me.
Are you also committing to Poetry Month this year? I'd love to hear how you're 'celebrating' it!
If you need some inspiration to get you started, check my 30 sour writing prompts for NaPoWriMo and let me know if any of them speak to you. <3
