PoeWriMo


Ink and Ember! Your November Poetry Challenge!

November is famously known as Write a Novel in a Month (or NaNoWriMo) but poets deserve a creative marathon too.

This month, instead of our usual workshop, I’m inviting you to create your own poetry project.

Set a goal that excites you, like write a poem every day or complete a poetry manuscript in a month or BOTH!

We’ll track:

  • daily poem(s) or word counts

  • milestones (finished a series, completed a draft of one poem)

  • short reflections on progress or process

Whatever you choose:

build a body of work; build a poetry habit!

We’ll use Discord and Substack as our main hubs for communication and inspiration.

Poets who are interested, join the PoeWriMo channel in the Poesy Discord server: https://discord.gg/Pmd4d4n3 or let me know by direct message or email @ lyw.write@gmail.com
