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.
Nervous is okay. Anxiety is over the top. This is a chance to just type and write and compose and let yourself be free. Set perfectionism aside and go for productivity.
I am having trouble getting back into my account from last year. It seems unfamiliar to me, so don’t feel badly if you are a little uncomfortable. Caitlin is generous with help.
