In some ways, I’m picking the worst month to do a creative challenge. I’ll be busy conducting workshops, putting together another for an event that (for the moment) has to be kept hush-hush, keeping kids entertained during school holidays and a few other things besides those.
But I was thinking back over the fun I had during the 30 Days of NaNoWriMo Prompts challenge I set myself last year, and how pushing through tiredness – dare I even say laziness – was good for me. As enjoyable as I find blogging to be, I admit that if I do it for too long without at least trying to practise in the other forms of writing that I find important, then those skills suffer.
So, my point: in July, I’ll be doing another short poem a day. These will be posted as written poems on Twitter (as much as Twitter is becoming gif and image friendly, I do think words still work best there), and on Instagram/Facebook as well. Please join me if you like – I love company! I’ll use the hashtag #julycreativechallenge
Wish me luck!
