NaPoWriMo

This where all of my works from 2020 for the yearly NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) challenge can be found.

The way I did NaPoWriMo was inspired largely by FridgePoetProject after having done my own 365 Day Mini-Magnet Challenge and a few years of Inktober, also inspired by her.

I created a Mandala background using gel pens, then formulated a poem based on that day's NaPoWriMo prompt word from the official Prompt list.
