Let's Get Ready for National Poetry Month
Workshop 1: How to write a Poem
(wonderful banner is courtesy @LadyBird)
This March, poetry crew & the mod team are hosting a series of entry-level poetry workshops. By that I mean, if you've never written poetry in your life, you are welcome to attend, if you think you can't write poetry we want you here, and if you're an old poet pro or somewhere in the middle come on by - it'll be good to get a little poetry practice in before National Poetry Writing Month begins in April.
Our first workshop will start where it all begins. The topic will be: How to Write a Poem. This will be basic. I promise technical jargon will be kept to a minimum and no diary entries or deep confessions are necessary.
How can I attend?
The workshop will be hosted on a Writers Feed Pad. It'll consist of a few discussion questions, some basic instructions and resources, and then a writing activity at the end where you can hopefully come away with a few lines or maybe a whole poem!
To access Writer's Feed Pad, all you need to do is click on the link to the workshop which will posted a few minutes before it begins in this thread. You'll type in your YWS information into the box that pops up, and then you'll be in! When you're in the Writer's Pad it'll look like a blank document with different people typing in different colors, if you've never been to a workshop before I would say this is a great first one to attend. If you have any questions or concerns please send me a PM or just comment below.
When is the first workshop?
The workshop will be Saturday
(time automatically is shown in your time-zone).
If you can not attend at this time but are really interested in the content - send me a PM, I can send you the link at another time and might even be willing to give you a run-down of the information we covered.
Keep your eyes open for future workshops over the month of March as well as possible other fun poetry related activities leading up to NaPo. Of course it's not too early to start getting your inspo and prompts ready for April's National Poetry Writing Month.
