How I did it: I started writing poems on April 1, 2008. I posted them here because I've found such a supportive, smart, generous community and knew there were other wordsmiths here who might be encouraged by my example. This goal, started by the wonderful Flirt, blew me away. Totally unexpected and one of the most, perhaps The Most amazing gift I've ever received. [Someone check the grammar of that last sentence.
