The Poetry Marathon

I’m just here to write the words.

I’m Courtney. 25-year-old writer of sorts. I’ve been writing for the last 10 or so years and just recently made it into my full-time thing.

I’ll be participating in the full marathon. Though I have never participated before, I completed NaNoWriMo the first time I entered. So I am pretty confident that I am up for this challenge.

Any who. Hello, fellow poets. I look forward to our time together!

Feel free to add me on various social media outlets.

Preparation for the marathon, Saturday July 29, 2017, also printed on comments in another section.

A prompt for myself for the marathon
Poetry and facebook have many sides.
Two in particular, or should I say peculiar?
On one hand there are puppies and cats,
and restaurant food.
cute videos of fun times and hilarity.
Sweet notes of support and love and friendship.
The Human Connection at its best.
On the other hand, you have thunder and lightening,
dialog carried out with all the subtlety of a 2×4 to the head.
The storms of the inner self
crying for attention.
Both worlds deserve our attention and are fit subjects.

Pluck the blossoms from the poetry bush
to make room for new buds.

I created a new email address and ended up with my last year’s account here at wordpress..did u guys do the same thing?

Hello friends.

Long time author, short time poet. As someone who strives for excellence in all things writing, this will be my first poetry marathon.

Normally, I write novels, particularly fantasy with a twist of romance. I’ve also written quite a bit of fanfiction, one of which rose to be in the top ten of its category out of over 5,000 submissions. I have a deep fondness for foxes, as the traits I hold highest are cunning, wisdom, and sensuality.

I also run a side blog where I present creative writing lessons and critiques aptly named Kiba Elunal’s Writing Lessons and Critiques. There you can find my Foxy Critique series where I analyze and breakdown novels submitted to me by fellow writers.

I’m eager to get started, and I wish you all the best of luck in life and literature.

Hi all, this is my first poetry marathon or any other kind of marathon  (although I used to eat them back in the 80s). I’m nervous I may have bitten off more than I can chew but really excited by this challenge.

I have written since I was a kid of about 7/8, but only recently had a resurgence having spent a lot of time parenting. I’m still parenting but just finding some time for myself too.

I have a challenge with the marathon this year. I am going to be away from home! Doing the half marathon for the second half. The first 2-3 hours will be a challenge as i am traveling. Will hopefully be able to post. Really hoping I can do it. Looking forward to the nightime promts as I have always done the daytime half. Also looking forward to my favourite part…reading all the great poetry that comes out of this marathon!

Trying to remember what I might need to know about WordPress. It has been a year.

Let’s see if this works…

…and Go.

Hey everyone, my alias is Angel of Light. I’m on various websites like Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Fanfiction, Deviantart, and Fictionpress, but I only have one series that defines me as a writer. It is called Darryl & Diana. If you are into romance novels, it is a series worthy of a read. Doing the 12 hour marathon, I am here to better myself as a writer, so I can do whatever it takes to make my Darryl & Diana series the best series it can be.

Hi Everyone!   This is my first time doing the poetry marathon and so I thought – ‘go big or go home’ and signed up for the 24 hour marathon.  I’m so excited to write 24 poems in 24 hours!
