NaPo Goals

My goal is thirty
Ideally one daily
To keep docs away

^ a sad attempt at a haiku, but it's all true

My goal's 10 for now, but like 10 in the first 10 days. I'll see what happens later. Most of the poems may be centered around social anxiety.

I'm going whole hog
Thirty poems, one each day
How hard can it be?

^ Another sad haiku, also true.

My goal is thirty though that might not be the most realistic goal especially with how busy school is right now (even online).

30 poems is my aim c:

I hope I can complete 30 this year c:

All of it, yo. I will write all the poems.

They may stink worse than wet cat, but I will do it.

I'm doing 30 poems and 90 stories, which sounds like a lot, but it's pretty much a Camp Nano and a Napo side by side. I'm aiming for the stories to be flash fiction, so it will be 3 x 600 words.

We're about half-way through the month - how are people's threads going? I'm going to do a quick update / re-work my own goals, feel free to chime in to update how your own writing is going.

Goals

My goal is 30 poems in 30 days again, and I want to experiment with poetry formatting a lot too. I think I'm going to stick with a little bit of a theme, but less narrow than last year's color-poetry one. Another thing I want to do is revise a few old poems during NaPo. I think I'll have some busy days towards the middle and end of April, and if I decide to move back home it'll get really hectic, but I should still be able to write a poem a day I think.

My other goal is to read all of the NaPo threads - which I was able to do by the end of NaPo last year. And maybe host one poetry workshop - theme to be determined

-> I have 17 poems done, so on track for 30, not super happy with the quality, but they all are poems I suppose. :]
-> On track for reading through the threads pretty much, and have made 35 comments, I'm hoping to keep up commenting through the second half of the month too.
-> Theme/poetic-voice feels super non-cohesive, might try to be more consistently thematic in 2nd half of month.
-> I want to do at least three structured poems, haven't posted any yet.
-> Haven't played around with formatting except like 1 poem, so hopefully have time to do that still.

Last year I managed fifty poems. I want sixty this year.

I want to go all the way and write 30 poems, but it would also be great if I can get higher than that.

For 2021, I want to write at least 4 poems.

I'm aiming for 30 this year but I'd be happy with 15!

Aiming for 30, not sure I'll do a poem-a-day this year! REALLY EXCITED FOR THE WHOLE WRITING PROCESS!!

Other aspirations ~
> Read everyone's NaPo Thread!
> Leave at least 30 comments~
> Maybe attempt some sort of non-alphanumerical poem @_@ we.will.see.stay-tuned for what that might mean <.<
> Maybe play with some more structures...
> Write a couple collabs with cool poet people!

I don't really have any goals beyond consistency, which has always been the thing I've struggled with the most with NaPo. I tend to start the month out strong and then peter out. I have no shortage of ideas and inspiration, I just seem to burn out most years.

I am also very keen for it because I miss writing! I haven't written anything that wasn't for uni in way too long, so my goal is also to start using those creative writing muscles again.
