I had participated in the Half-Poetry Marathon 2016 and complete Poetry Marathon 2015 & 2017. The complete poetry challenge consists on writing 24 poems in 24 hours and the half-marathon on writing 12 poems in 12 hours. Every hour, you receive a prompt with images or even music to inspire you to write your poem. It is an exciting event!

This phenomenal event is organized by Caitlin Jans (Thomson) and Jacob Jans, two writers and web publishers living in the Pacific Northwest.
Based on my experience, this is how I prepare for a Poetry Marathon Challenge
1. Sleep well the night before.
2. Join and follow Facebook Group Posts, days in advance.
3. Check Prompt every hour and even create your own prompts
4. Work on a word document and edit before publish on the Poetry Website Event.
5. Best of all, HAVE FUN!
What to do in between hours?
Prepare an easy meal, drink herbal tea, do yoga, listen to music or even do laundry, and the most important, don't forget to check the prompts each hour. At the end of this experience you will be proud to receive a lovely certificate.
What is you preparation?...
