How I did it: I wrote at night, often after midnight. I don't remember ever starting with a subject. I let my thoughts wander, hoping something interesting would emerge, whether it was a memory or story or just a word or phrase I liked. I spent between 30 minutes to an hour drafting and then I revised the ones I wanted to post. Receiving encouragement on 43T turned out to be a wonderful thing for me. I will miss reading the poems of my fellow napowrimo… Read how I did it…
nearly 20 years since I submitted a poem to a literary magazine. In the summer of 1990, I submitted about a hundred poems. All were rejected. I was very discouraged & upset & gave up. Here’s hoping I have thicker skin now.
