napowrimo and the like

it's true the lounge is suffering as i seem to do little else but cycle, write and wobble about in the garden. oh yes there is that pesky work stuff which is reaching new levels of awfulness but maybe it's the arrival of spring because i don't feel like blogging about it lately.

napowrimo this year is dawdling along nicely. it's reached the stage of the month where it's beginning to feel a bit more like a trial but i've more ideas for poems than days to write them in so i'll reach the end okay. i'm happier with what i've done this year which is always a bonus but perhaps i'd a better idea of what to expect this year than last. i have found tho that working does interfere with it, not night shift surprisingly, but day shift. it's not that i'm busier just that the whole getting up early thing seems to weary me and stopper that part of my brain function.

i've also enjoyed picking a napowrimo site to follow. i'm mainly on readwrite tho i've kept an eye on poetry free for all. readwrite i've kept with, somehow they're just a more engaging bunch and i like the format better plus there's always the fall back of the prompt even if i've never actually stuck with it yet! the poetry varies wildly on both sites so there's something for everyone no matter what their taste! and while i've enjoyed many my particular favourites are here, here
and here. i recommend a browse with a cup of tea without hesitation.

not that i haven't been wasting my time. i am gladdened to hear that in this obama era the situation with gay people in the military is at last clear ; )
