Dirty 30 in 30
This is modeled after Neo's excellent 30 Poems in 30 Days thread, but I wanted to create a version that was a little less high-pressure, with the idea that more people will go ahead and complete all thirty pieces.
So. Write 30 poems in 30 days. Whatever it takes. If you miss a day, write two the next day. Ideally, these will be new pieces, but if you need a wild card, you can put up an old first draft or a radical edit, or write a prose poem or blog entry or a letter to the beloved dead. Just write. Keep writing.
I also want to encourage feedback and discussion in here – ideally people can say, “hey this section worked for me but I didn't get this part” or “that would be perfect except for that tense problem in the third line” or whatever. Chat away. Hence the “dirty” part of the thread title: this thread does not need to be 'kept clean.' Maybe it'll be easier to post if you're not under quite as much of a spotlight, yes? And as always, don't be afraid to suck. *
Just write. Write like all of your stars are out. Write like the Valkyries have tapped you on the shoulder and you have only thirty days to say everything. Write your heart out.
