I’m doing Camp NaNoWriMo this month as extra incentive to complete a micropoetry collection. My word count goal is rather modest this time as other writing priorities take precedence but that’s the great thing about Camp NaNo; you can tailor it to meet your writing goals.

All this month, you'll be seeing "plenty o' poetry" from me here, that is, if 1 haiku/day for 30 days could be considered bountiful.🤣 Then again, quantity is an irrelevant micropoetry metric. When one works with just a few words, "quality over quantity" becomes the poetic equivalent of concentrated laundry detergent.😂

Ironically, what got me across the NaPoWriMo finish line was NOT sharing poetry here for the remainder of the month.🤣 In other words, writing poetry with the intent to share it was useful until it wasn't. A few weeks in, the poetry stopped flowing & I knew the solution was to write poetry just to write it, without any pressure whatsoever. I generally prefer to write like no one's going to read it, which just helps get the raw material onto the page. Revision comes later.
