So, the Get Stefanie to ArLis Poetry Sale is complete, where I wrote a poem a day for the past two weeks. I made $58.00, which I am pleased with, considering this was my first attempt at crowdfunding.
I am interested in possibly pursuing this, something similar to this on a monthly basis. Probably not for long a period, but being over a weekend or day. At most, a week. What sort of things have people had luck with? Do you find it better to let readers choose a theme or to have a set theme before the writing? I had a set theme this time - fairy tales/folklores - and while I could certainly write more poems based around those, I'm thinking it might be fun to explore other themes.
Thoughts, bits of advice, feedback?
Thank you!
