LexPoMo: One More Week!

251 Replies

LPM PosterWith Lexington Poetry Month only one week away, we are in full-swing with the LexPoMo Writing Challenge 2014. If you haven’t signed up, you have a full six days left to do so (just click here).

A few things to remember:

  • Write a poem every day
    • quantity over quality, since practice makes perfect
  • You only have to submit ten
    • So if you don’t like one, or it’s too personal, you don’t have to share it.
  • The deadline is May 31st at 11:59pm 
    • No sign-ups will be accepted for publishing on the blog, but don’t be discouraged about participating on your own!
  • Check out the event calendar
    • There are currently 13 events independent of the LexPoMo Writing Challenge that you should check out and consider supporting!
  • Have fun!
    • Poetry doesn’t always elicit warm, fuzzy emotions (in fact, it rarely does), but engaging with other poets and sharing your work garners positive results, so don’t be afraid to participate!

Later this week (hopefully tomorrow) I will post a video explaining how to use our new submission process. We have fortunately given the power to submit, format, and publish the poems into your hands, so more details will come about how to do that. But in the mean time, remember that when you signed up we gave you a unique code that looks like this:

IY78JHB

or like this:

lWu847H

Or some other gibberish. And in the email, we asked you to “save this code and do not share it with anyone.” The instructions for that will come soon, but if you have somehow lost your code, email me at blog.accents.publishing [at] gmail.com and I’ll resend you that code.

Thanks so much for signing up, and, if you haven’t, just click here!
