National poetry writing month 2014 has come to an end and I find myself in wanting. The month of April magically transforms into rhythms, stanzas, beats, and lines.
This last week I find myself searching for poetry prompts and muses. I’ve discovered that my participation in writing challenges allows me to let go and become uninhibited. The words flow more freely and believe it or not, I don’t dread the blank page with the forever blinking cursor.
I want to take a moment and give a shout out to Robert Lee Brewer and Writer’s Digest for putting such a creative and unique spin on prompts. Knowing my pieces would be read and judged by esteemed author’s and poet’s made me all the more enthusiastic.
Also a huge thanks to Maureen Thorson and those at NaPoWriMo.net. That woman is a genius in her own right! I’m not sure how she does it, but the prompts are outside the box and clever. I’ve learned so much about myself and my writing by letting her ideas in.
Of course I couldn’t have completed the challenge without you WordPress bloggers. You guys are truly amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the encouragement and support. If it wasn’t for those who visit my site, I’d have no one to speak with.
The year thus far has more than proven interesting. I’m looking forward to the up in coming months for other writing challenges, competition’s, and quests.
