NaPoWriMo 2024

April is celebrated in the United States as National Poetry Writing Month. The idea is to write a poem a day. Sumit Shetty shared the sheet below.

NaPoWriMo Prompts for the first half of April 2024 NaPoWriMo Prompts for the first half of April 2024

I had initially planned to write it on Medium which houses my other works of fiction.

I found an online writing tool shared by Satyajeet Jadhav, a member of Amit Varma’s Clear Writing Community. This tool is called thinkdeli. I liked its writing mode on mobile as well as on the web. I especially liked its focus writing mode. This is where I decided to write poetry in 2024.
