Day 1

Working Title: High Functioning with Carrie Fisher

Did I write or rewrite today? rewrite on a poem I started a couple days ago

What's the subject matter? the death of Carrie Fisher and trying to explain high functioning depression with a running theme of math

How am I feeling in general for the day? mixed day. had a hard time getting out of bed but got some errands done and talked to Labecca for four years.

How do I feel about tonight's writing: drained... knowing what I want to do with this but not getting it on the first or second write. didn't finish it even. But feeling like it's an improvement. there's a lot of what I want to do with this poem and I'm not sure yet if the poem can. 

What working for me in this poems? I like the idea of hanging the wording on math allusions and I think I figured out the structure/'plot' I'm going to use.

Poetry Month

This month's challenge-- write on poetry all 30 days of April. The only rule is to create or rewrite a poem a day. ideally I would like to have at least 15 working poems with the main focus on having them for poetry slams.

Questions to ask each day:
Working Title:
Did I write or rewrite today?
What's the subject matter?
How am I feeling in general for the day?
How do I feel about tonight's writing
What working for me in this poems?
