Another year gone, and we are once again on the cusp of that April extravaganza of verse, National/Global Poetry Writing Month! It’s my eighth year taking part in this poem-a-day challenge, following the daily prompts on the NaPoWriMo website, and I’m excited to get into it.

Despite my personal project of writing a musical, I’ve been suffering from a bit of writer’s block lately, which has affected both my lyrics and my blog output, so I’m hopeful that this challenge will help me get into a creative groove that will extend beyond the end of April. I also have not been keeping up with reviewing all the movies I’ve seen, so this is a good opportunity to catch up on my backlog, with the helpful prompts guiding me toward which film to cover each day.

It never seems like there’s enough time, so I won’t give any guarantees, but I’ll do my best to keep up with the daily challenge. And I invite anyone else out there eager to increase their poetic volume to join me and so many others in this NaPoWriMo. Let the inspiration flow!
