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.
you should know i am a time traveler & there is no season as achingly temporary as now
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.
