I am glad you did.<br /><br />Then serendipity stepped in and some real life events lined up with the Day 10 prompt (my day 10 poem is here if you're interested: http://wp.me/p2yU8b-77) I was re-energized at least for a few more days.Poet-a-tetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601486975050285710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728395951944817348.post-32016011183027350412013-04-11T05:46:38.647-07:002013-04-11T05:46:38.647-07:00Thanks for stopping by and I don't mind long c...Thanks for stopping by and I don't mind long comments, especially ones as thoughtful as yours. I love the picture too - it made me laugh. I appreciate your advice. I will certainly check out your blog, I love the purpose behind it.

She has the funniest expression on her face. <br /><br />I am also doing the NaPoWriMo challenge for the first time this year. It was hard coming up things to write the first week, but it has gotten a little easier. Today, I had a poem that I had written last month that fit the prompt, and I posted it, but then had that unfinished feeling nagging at me until I wrote something else. (I hear that people who exercise get a similar feeling when they miss a day...) <br /><br />I have found that three things have made it easier for me.<br /><br />1. It falls in line with the purpose of my blog. Almost everything that I post is a first/rough draft. I wanted an incentive to write anything and created my blog for that. I have found that the scary exposed feeling is not nearly as strong as it used to be.<br /><br />2. I am sticking to short forms of poetry because they are newer to me and don't seem to wear me out as fast.<br /><br />3. I am still participating in other prompts, just not as fully as before, and combining them with the NaPoWriMo prompts. I have't figured out how to embed links in comments, but I like dVerse, The Mag (magpie tales), Three Word Wednesday, Kellie Elmore's Free Write Friday and The Sunday Whirl. <br /><br />I hope this helps some and wasn't too long. I really enjoy your blog and your poems!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757679752138734026noreply@blogger.com
