Day Eight

Happy Friday, everyone, and happy eighth day of Na/GloPoWriMo.

Today’s featured participant is An Embarrassment of Riches, where you’ll find a poem about doorways in repsonse to Day Seven’s “proverbial” prompt.

Our featured online journal for the day is The Tiny, which started out as a print journal before moving online in 2017. In their latest issue, I’ll point you to two poems by Dan Brady.

And last but not least, here is our daily prompt (optional, as always). Today’s prompt comes to us from this list of “all-time favorite writing prompts.” It asks you to name your alter-ego, and then describe him/her in detail. Then write in your alter-ego’s voice. Maybe your alter-ego is a streetwise detective, or a superhero, or a very small goldfinch. Whoever or whatever your alternate self may be, I hope this prompt lets you stretch both your writing skills and your self-knowledge.

Happy writing!
