Poetry Fishbowl

[ysabetwordsmith]

The next Poetry Fishbowl will be on Tuesday, July 2 with a theme of "unlikely heroes and implausible villains." Come give me prompts and enjoy some free poetry!

My one card draw will be on the 8th of July, time TBD, over on my journal. Due to the issues miintikwa had with Paypal, I am going to be revising how to deal with donor perks.

I may also do a writing-based crowdfunding event on the 22nd of July, time TBD, over on my journal. This will be dependent on my energy and creativity levels.

I'm contemplating another tarot story draw. I may go for something less taroty and more ysabetwordsmith-style fishbowly. (If you don't mind me swiping your shtick, of course, ysabet.) I may do both on different weekends. My certainty, let me show you it.

Go for it!

That sounds cool.

By all means, go ahead. I'm happy to provide inspiration for other people's project. Take whatever you think will work for you, and adapt as needed.

It's worth a try.

Thanks!

That was a lot harder than you make it look.

Sorry about that.

I've been writing poetry for decades and running the fishbowl for about five and a half years. The practice has run my skill and speed up a lot higher than average. Even then, I can't always fit everything into one day. This month's poems ran long and the fills sprawled out over several days.

And would you believe I know someone who's even better? Tom Smith does what I do, only live and set to music. I've seen him do it at home filk concerts. I gave him "antidisestablishmentarianism" as a prompt and he filked it on improv.

Some folks who do fishbowls take prompts and start writing the same day, but don't try to restrict it all to that day. They let the fills spin out for a week or more. Feel free to tinker around until you find a crowdfunding approach that works for you.

No need to apologize.

Thanks.
