I must say, it was a fun experience. More than anything, it gave me me quite the literary adrenaline boost, which I feel will likely cause me to be considerably more eager to write more poetry than I may have otherwise. It's a good feeling, being part of a mass movement of poets from across the nation and across the globe. I will admit, some days I was bogged down by the various obstacles that life has to throw at you and ended up writing four - or even just two - short lines of text for the day. That in itself was also a good experience, though; that is, learning how to use words not just when they are in abundance but also when they are wanting. Well, I thank Maureen Thorson for having started this wonderful event, and I hope to participate again next year!
