2024 Official DUP NaPoWriMo Discussion Thread
Yo Ho, NaPoets! Looks like Day 14 was a rough one! Some stumbled and are unable to get back up, while others were apparently swallowed by the sandworm! But it still looks like we're going to get 34 across the line!
WELCOME TO THE OASIS OF HALFWAY!
HALFWAY, NAPOETS! Way to hang in there!
Like I’m not trying to boast or anything but I genuinely am proud of myself for getting this far 🫶 watch me finally go hit that wall tomorrow though now I’ve said it! I think sometimes I surprise myself, I’m enjoying this competition a heck of a lot, it must be said! 🙏✨

Nice to see you back, Kumar. We were sending a hunting party out today. Just a gentle reminder per the guidelines.
Double Posting When Late We encourage you to complete poems ahead of schedule in the event you are prevented from writing and posting by an unexpected event such as a personal crisis, power or Internet failure, etc.
Follow this protocol upon your return: post a maximum of 2 poems per date until you are caught up. At the very bottom of each late post, attach a brief explanation stating why you are posting late whatever reason it may be.

It's getting harder, folks, I just hit a wall.
Ugh.
For some reason I'm still in a good flow. I'll admit to covering some familiar ground topic wise but they're topics for which I'm passionate. A close friend threw down the gaunlet and asked me to put right this quote by G. K. Chesterton "poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese." So, who knows I might try and write a queso poem...don't worry I won't use queso in the poem. I'm not sure how gouda it will be (ba dump bump tsssssssssss)
