Hi My name is Torri. This is my 2nd marathon and I’m pretty hype about it. I’m so hyped, I decided to do the 24 hour marathon this year instead of the 12 hour one. I recently moved from Saint Louis, Missouri to Tacoma, Washington and could use a bit of write-spiration. My sister Meka is also doing the poetry marathon again this year and I’m looking forward to reading her stuff along with yours! Our life has changed quite a bit this past month with the loss of our very special cousin and we could use a little motivation to get out of our sadness. I’m so happy that such a thing like the poetry marathon exists! I plan to stay pumped by drinking plenty of water and eating plenty of fruit during the marathon. I hope it works! I look forward to reading some of everyones beautiful poetry soon! ❤
