You would have no idea that, last year, I challenged my fellow NaPoets to continue with a post-NaPo May run, and I had one taker, slipalong! He and I persisted until we had posted 30 additional poems up to May 30. Then there was a problem collecting the trophy, so I had to make representation to Webmistress, if only to ensure that slip was not left hanging. In the end, slip received his trophy, but I got none.
I'M DEFINITELY NOT DOING THAT AGAIN.

If you're not going for a trophy you can always post here. Anyone who desires to post here throughout the year to prepare for NaPo'23 is more than welcome to.

In spite of what I've said earlier, GREAT IDEA, Ahavati! This could very well become a pregnant nursery for NaPo23. I mean NOT going for an interim trophy, of course, as well as that I would not do the post-NaPo trophy run again.

I think it would be amazing to train to eventually write a poem of this magnitude every day for a year. That would suit my style where they all become diary entries of a sort.
That said, I am glad for today. I love NaPo, but the finish line feels pretty sweet.

Phooo Phooo Phooo let me catch my breath....WATER!!! I am honored to have crossed the tape with so many other poetry marathoners. This one was a veritible challenge. Now I've time to actually read some of your entries. Y'all are champions❣🙏🏆

Let me go on to say, anyway, that a trophy does not come from someone simply posting poems to a thread; the general rules/approaches for hosting a competition would ensure that such a competition is launched and structured within a specific timeframe.

I'm not interested in trophies. I just think it would be good discipline to carry on. Maybe.
