It is almost time for our poetry writing challenge to begin! Through out February we will be posting inspiration on the web site and social media to help you get writing. The premise is a poem a day but that is only the premise, if you just get to creative for more days than you would normally then that is a win!

And though our exercises have been written specifically with poetry in mind we have had feedback that they are also really helpful for those of you writing fiction. If you also write fiction then maybe just see what sort of writing emerges from the exercises rather than trying to force into a specific lay out.

We shall start on February the 1st and end on the 28th.

If you can not wait then why not look at our archive of exercises! Recent years a lot of the exercises were made straight onto social media so we are working on adding them to the archive. They are all still sitting there on the WoPo Facebook page and Instagram. We think the ones on twitter/x are still there but not really sure as we have been unable to log into the account and had stopped using the platform. For Threads follow Sarah and @Saffy@sunny.garden on Mastodon.

And of course the new and shiny mailing list!
