I know I am! With just a month to go until April, I feel like a pre-NaPo may be in order, too. ;)

For those of you who don't know--it's okay, I didn't know about NaPo until last year either--NaPoWriMo is National Poetry Writing Month, where you basically write 30 poems in 30 days. Fun, right? (Click on the shiny link for more.)

What are your plans for NaPo this year? Do you have a theme in mind? Or are you going to wing it and see where 'the course of things' leads you? Is it your first time? Or your seventeenth? Talk about it here~

I'M SO EXCITED.

@Firestarter, you're doing this thing.

Now that themes have been mentioned, I want to do this again. (It's been 5 years since I last did.)

A theme? A theme? I was thinking maybe elements of the periodic table.

Okay, I'm doing it.

You darn poets.

I was so tempted to choose the third option, but I already know what it is...

@AttackOfTheFlash, hahaha! I would be, but I am not sure whether I will to it or not yet. I am just writing along steadily every day.

Okay, I want to. I'm up for theme suggestions though.

I will also make a pancake a day. Different flavours. BOOM.

I will do it. A poem a day is a LOT easier than 50,000 words in a month. o.O
