11 - 11 It Begins

the poem a day challenege for the rest of the year.

the reason for this crazy idea?

well in July I did NaNoWriMo and i completed it my frist shot - 50,000 word novel in a month. And i have been developing and editing that first draft for a while. It was something i didn't know I had in me, the drive to finnish the story that I had been tossing around in my head for a long while.

I want to complete at the very min - 365 poems by this time next year. There will be days when I won't feel creative, when I don't want to write, when I feel like I have nothing left to produce an ounce. But i will write at least a hiaku or a joyful one word poem. I will write something every day.

And if i dont - i am open to the mockery of the blogosphere. I will diserve it.

but i'm betting that in the face of humiliation - I will write!

And anything that I actually handwrite - instead of posting - I will scan in.
I think seeing the fresh words on the page (or napkin or palm of my hand) will be so much more authentic.

maybe i'll even post my chapbook on Lulu.com or something.
