Revolution Progress Update, 5/1/08

Well, yesterday was the last day of April, and I’ve written my 100 poems. 50 of them are posted here. The other fifty are chapbook material or stuff I am leaving aside to continue development on.

Overall, I’m glad I took the challenge. If nothing else, it forced me to produce. It forced me to write and really rethink the idea of what I could write about. I found ideas mostly jumping in front of me and presenting themselves easily. And I was able to silence my inner critic long enough to stop her from rejecting an idea before I wrote once I kept my focus on the 100 poem goal.

Oddly enough, I ended up with a mean case of writer’s block yesterday evening. With five left to write. I don’t know why – perhaps being so near to the goal line. Thank God, I got past it.

I have to thank David. This whole thing was his idea.

I want to do this again next year.

As of today, I have written 61 poems in the month of April (counting some I wrote in late March, because I just couldn’t wait to start the Revolution!). 31 of them are on this blog.

With four days remaining, I am 39 poems short of the goal, 100 poems. Can I do it? Stay tuned here to find out.
