Tips to make things a little more manageable

  • You could have a theme prepared in advance
  • You should set yourself some time aside each day, like you would an appointment to make things a little easier
  • You could ‘talk’ your poem into your smartphone or tablet, perhaps while you are soaking in a nice relaxing bubble bath, or walking the dog!
  • You can write anything you like, or to make things a little easier, you can refer to the list of prompts on the NaPoWriMo site.

Tips to make things a little more interesting

  • You could invest in a lovely notepad solely for the purpose of your poetry
  • You could even illustrate your poems
