Ever since Maureen Thorson came up with NaPoWriMo, I've wanted to participate. Now the Academy is in the mix.
If I do choose to participate, it won't be through the Academy or as a fund raiser. When I wrote my poem-a-days for the month of August, I felt the camaraderie between poets, but I also had time to savor the company.
Now, in the midst of a new quarter, I'm not sure I'll be able to do a NaPoWriMo justice.
We'll see.

First day of the quarter. Sunny. Bright. Horrible classroom. Looks like a holding cell.

Long Poem writing prompts for my graduate class forthcoming. Basically, students will be writing one long poem. Some of the prompts/assignments will be generative while others will be revisionary. We'll see what happens!

Current Spin:
Great Lake Swimmers. "Pulling On A Line."

Didn't know about the Academy fundraiser. Interesting.
Should you participate? Yes. Think of all the poems you'll have by the end of the month. And, we can all commiserate (read: suffer) together.
Just try! If you "fail," you might end up with only five new drafts. Will you be crying? I think not.

Yeah, I really want to do it. My desk says otherwise.
EXACTLY, Mary Bid. EXACTLY.
