It's quite difficult for me to release a poem so quickly in the process of writing, so adding the notes on that process makes me feel a little bit more secure! It's definitely got me going again though. Without the NaPoWriMo impetus to produce something every day I would still be obsessing over poem one - if I'd ever even started it!Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15734731472624651213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3686195118313989623.post-27100752247318462142013-04-04T23:48:57.699+01:002013-04-04T23:48:57.699+01:00I think it works great.
