read write prompt #7: free day!

by the Read Write Poem Staff

We realize everyone is very busy this time of year, and we hope you all are enjoying the holidays — perhaps even finding ways to work poetry in here and there between spending time with family and friends, and taking time for yourself to reflect on the year and look ahead to the new year.

We are making this week a free week here at Read Write Poem. We will post the Get Your Poem On post this coming Monday, and it will remain open all week. Feel free to pick a prompt from the Random Prompt generator to your right, or pick a random writing tip and share what you create using that tip this week. Or you might want to kick back and spend some time reading and share your thoughts on what you read. There’s a random reading tips generator in the sidebar as well to give you some ideas about how to approach reading poems and get you out of a reading rut if you happen to be in one.

And if anyone wants to continue working with their partner (assigned last week) on collaborative poems, we encourage you to do so and to share a link to whatever you’ve written together when the Get Your Poem On post goes up.

We want to remind everyone that we’ll be rolling out some great new content on the site soon. We also want to thank everyone for taking part in Read Write Poem and helping to make it a success.

As usual, please feel free to leave comments on this post, but wait for the Get Your Poem On post before leaving permalinks for your contributions this week.

    The Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Anthology is still in production. Selection, placement, layout and copyediting are taking longer than anticipated. Thank you for your patience. I hope to have the piece completed in July. For those who have emailed asking if they can be included, the May 7 deadline for submission of work stands. Those who met that deadline will be included. Please check the post on this site listing who I received submissions from by that date. If you submitted your work by the May 7 deadline in accordance with our guidelines and your name is not listed, send an email to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.

    Remember that Friday* is the deadline for submitting work to the Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Anthology. Check out the guidelines for submission in the main column (to the left). On May 8, we’ll post a news item listing everyone we’ve received work from. If you submitted work and your name is not on that list, please let us know. Thanks!

    *I initially said “tomorrow,” but I meant to say “Friday.”

    It’s the final week of the Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Challenge! Just 7 days left. With that, a reminder that Read Write Poem will culminate with the anthology featuring work from those who complete the challenge. A post with details for submitting to the anthology will be published May 1. Be sure you remove any information from the site that you want preserved — such as group content and personal messages. Those elements of the site will be removed May 1 as well. The main site will remain up as an archive.
