Inspo for NaPo
Every year April comes around and we always begin with a bang, cracking jokes and enjoying ourselves, then freak out because it's Poetry Month and we haven't started yet. Poetry Month or NaPo is a national/world wide challenge to poets and non-poets alike to write a poem a day for the month of April. It's like NaNo and Inktober but for poetry, much cooler.
This year, let's be prepared! Inspo for NaPo is going to be a month of prep for the madness that is April. We will be covering everything from how to get organized, to how to find stuff to organize during the course of March so that by the time April Fools Day hits, you have a plan to pursue through all of April.
Now, if your motto isn't "Always be Prepared" then sit back and relax for March, more power to you! When April hits and you're stuck on what to do, come check out some of our amazing journals and we'll help carry you through too!
That's right! This is the Poetry version of the Journal Making Challenge! We will be making journals for our poetry inspiration during March and filling them up throughout the month.
To begin with, let's go over what we're planning to cover. Poetry Crew and company will be covering some basic things we can prep before NaPo begins starting with how to plan our attack, where we can collect inspiration, what to do when planning a theme, how to look at and develop a style, and ending with how to create challenges for yourself.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to grab a spoon and dig in! Actually, without the metaphor, we'd like everyone to make a journal where they can keep their inspiration over the course of March as we prep for NaPo. The journals will be collected in this fancy club, so go ahead and make a new thread in the club which will be your journal!
Please note: Club threads are very rudimentary, you cannot edit anything you post, so if you mess up in a post, don't worry about it, just post it again. You can ask an officer or admin of the club to delete the mess later if you so choose, or just leave it because maybe the mistake is inspiration too. They also won't accept color codes that are not the word of the color such as "color=brown".
Just to lay things out a little bit before we get to the first task, these will be posted with two things a week, meaning this and the first post will be posted this week, then next week we will post two more things to do/read/accomplish, and we'll round it out with the last week.
