My friend Eugenia told me to sign up and this seems interesting and fun so why not? I like this opportunity to create a lot of work and hopefully getting published would be a big accomplishment.

Because I’m still here, and #LexPoMo is still here, so it’s tradition now.

I’ve been doing a lot of poetry writing for the past year, and I would love to meet other writers in KY.

For practice, but more than anything, community!

Poetry isn’t just a writing style to me. It’s the way I’ve always expressed my emotions. I find it easier to write in a figurative sense than journal or talk about my feelings. I haven’t always had the support from all of my family but recently, they’ve pushed me to write more and continue this as a career path one day. I signed up because I want people to share my love and be able to connect with how I write. I want people to know they are not alone and maybe just reading something that seems fictional yet personal could help them.

Always good to have some homework to help me “keep on truckin'”!

I am a better poet when I commit to a project with daily goals. Reading the poetry of others inspires me, too!
