April is just around the corner
and that means... POETRY!!
Yes, April is Poetry Month and that also means Writers on Fire (my online writing community at writersonfire.net) will be taking part in a daily poetry prompt challenge. Robert Lee Brewer (from Writer’s Digest) hosts a PAD (Poem-a-Day) challenge each April and we’ll take his prompts (and sometimes build on them) to see where our poetic impulses might take us.
I mention this here to prepare you that it’s possible I may combine work on the graphic novel/comics project with some poetry, perhaps doing more along the lines of the Camino series of collage/poetry pages (link to a sample below).
I suspect that time will determine just how elaborate (or not) the combination of projects may be, but being someone who really does thrive with a deadline looming, something will emerge by the end of next month.
I’ll be travelling back to the Rockies tomorrow and should be able to make use of Delta’s in-air wi-fi to do some drawing and create a post somewhere between here and there. If not - see you when I’m back at home!
I love Poetry Month, and I’m so excited about the idea of you combining poetry and comics! There was a class called Comics Poetry through the School of Visual Arts that I’d wanted to take a while ago, but I was in another class at the time. Well, here’s another chance!
