What is NapWrimo?

According to Wikipedia, National Poetry Writing Month (also known as NaPoWriMo) is a creative writing project held annually in April in which participants attempt to write a poem each day for one month.

Wikipedia advises that Maureen Thorson, a poet and publisher of Big Game Books[1] announced the project March 17, 2003 as an online project on her blog.[2] She invited other poets with blogs to join her in the project and listed the participating poets. Thorson has continued to run the project each year on her blog with more poets participating as the word has spread about the project.

I first attempted this in 2012 as my own writing was just starting to expand it’s boundaries, and then carried on in 2013 when my interest in slighter, more staker poetry began to really bubble to the surface.

This is my third year now in 2014 with Ghost Story.
