How I did it
How to turn the page
It took me

It took me
30 days
It made me

How I did it: I only ended up submitting 3 or 4 poems over the course of the month. I really didn't have the time required, but that's OK. I liked most of what I produced, and really, reading other people's stuff was so inspiring. RuthG's leadership and prompts were fabulous! Read how I did it…
