2025 Official NaPoWriMo Discussion Thread!
Congratulations, NAPOETS! You've reached the 1/3 mark of the challenge!
We're coming up on the final transcendental planet in our solar system, Pluto, located beyond Neptune in the most distant region of our solar system known as the Kuiper Belt! Pluto was named after the Roman God of Death. However, the Greeks called him Plouton, or Hades, signifying the 'Wealthy One', because he ruled the underworld and controlled all metals and precious gems located within the earth.
Pluto is distant and cold, so we'll be cranking up the heat as we proceed to the outer skirts of the galaxy.

I was editing today's submission "gypsy heart" and i dunno when I accidentally ended up in a new text box. Hope ,you excuse me for that....😞
Can I enter my submission tomorrow in that same text box?
No worries, Dreamz. We'll get Cab to delete the extra. You may have inadvertently hit quote instead of edit.

Okay, Team'25 bends over backwards messaging entrants about their own mistakes. This is something they don't have to do but do as a courtesy to help you along. But we are in no-man's land right now - the most difficult part of the challenge and in addition to team responsibilities, we are also trying to write for the challenge.
The rules are clear. The reminders ( above ) have been clear.
Carry on.

Okay, NaPoets! We're in No-Wo/man's Land now! The most difficult aspect of the challenge. We've reached the outer band of the solar system, where asteroid goddess Eris resides.
Eris is the goddess energy of discord and strife who challenges the status quo and exposes the hidden truths. She invites us to embrace our authentic selves and express our passions without fear or compromise.
As the sister of Ares/Mars, Eris is more than comfortable in the sign ruled by her brother, Mars. Here she is a force of change and innovation, who inspires us to take action and initiate new beginnings. She also reminds us that we are not alone, but part of a collective that shares our vision and values.
Named after the Greek goddess of strife and discord, her Roman equivalent is Discordia, which means the same. Eris's Greek opposite is Harmonia, whose Roman counterpart is Concordia. Homer equated her with the war-goddess Enyo, whose Roman counterpart is Bellona.
Eris shakes things up; thus, her reputation. But, in her defense, she always points out what needs to be said or done—something many, especially the status quo, reject. Her position in Aries provides boldness and initiative; however, it also contains the Arian traits of impulsive action that are self-focused without consideration of others if not kept in check.
Stay focused when traversing her domain! Because she will shake you awake!

Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement over the years.

Completely understand, nomoth. Noman's Land is the greatest challenge to this, well, challenge. Plus with DU closing, the closer we get to the end the more difficult it seems to become. XO

As suspected, we lost someone to the outer edge of the Universe! Eris never seems to fail to shake things up. NaPoets - this is the most difficult part of the challenge. Noman's land presents a lack of inspiration, and with DU closing it seems the closer we get to finishing, the more difficult it may become.
Hang in there for poetry. Hang in there for Eerie as we head into deep space to continue our Journey to the Stars!
