Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a peaceful weekend!
Last week, an essay I wrote a few months ago was published. It is about my experience with National Poetry Writing Month, which happened to be right around the time of my knee surgery. I explain how the game “Paint Chip Poetry” kept my writing practice on track during my recovery downtime. You can check it out here.
Thank you for your support! 🙂
Congrats! In addition to your poetry, you’ve really found your voice as a writer. I didn’t realize you’d written 93 poems in April. That’s a huge production.
The Paint Chip Poetry sounds just like the story-starter cards we had at school in the 1970s. We’d pick a card with a prompt on it like, “If I were invisible…” and we’d have to write a story about it. The teacher made the cards herself from notecards, and I have no idea where she got the idea. I like the idea that someone had to do the same with nail polish colors.
Congrats, it’s an interesting essay.
But I’m a bit disappointed, because I read “pottery” and came to see some ceramics 😉
