NaPoWriMo 1/30

Picture of draft #1, as I sit in a bar, trying to process and write a paper.

Notes: this year I'm playing NaPoWriMo as I can. You may get pictures, full-fledged posts, baby duckling posts, willow branch posts. Some iteration of activity. There are thoughts of things that may lead to a fully formed project, but there are also things that real life forces. If you're up for it follow along. Gentle with ourselves this NaPoWriMo, ya'll.

Thanks to all of you for reading this month. Half-way through, I finally began to have a succinct purpose with envelope poems. There was a new purpose to my writing with these, and festering ideas throughout the days. 

Tonight, an artist friend and I, together, decided to use the idea of the envelope as a joint medium to begin a collaboration project. We plan to respond to each other's work, to work with one another's work, with envelopes (all sorts) as the foundation for this project.

I'm ignited with the possibilities that this presents, and happy to begin a new collaborative writing/artistic journey. 

Thank you NaPoWriMo, thank you envelopes, thank you lovelies. 

and we're back...

It's nearly April 1st, and you know what that means?



Yes, yes it does. So here we go. Old blog content removed and archived. On to a refreshed look and a fresh month of writing.

Are you napoem-ing? Follow along with others here--it'll be grand.

How I work NaPoWriMo in this space:

• I will attempt to post a draft a day (sometimes two if I get behind).
• Drafts will typically be posted in the evening (anytime between 5 p.m. & the wee hours of the morning).
• Once a draft goes up, the last one will come down.

Happy National Poetry Writing Month!
