And we've reached the end of Escapril. It's been fun! I can't wait to do it all over again next year. I'm glad I discovered this challenge, and I can't wait to find more exiting writing challenges.

Here are my favorites from this round of poems:

• "Us" is about all the wonderful little moments I spend with my fiancé! It was fun writing this one after we spent a quiet afternoon being creative!

• "One Second" is super fun because I take part One Second Everyday, a little video diary that only uses a one to two second video from your day. Sometimes I sneak out my phone and record and capture little moments.

• "Upside Down". I'm sorry about the crazy text! But I thought about what it would be like to have the poem actually upside down, and remembered as a kid I would take a mirror and "walk" on the ceiling of my house.

So what's next for these poems? I think I'll workshop a few, work on some rewrites, and maybe send a few out into the world to be published. Maybe they'll find new homes in books!

As for next Wednesday, keep an eye out for some kind of writing! It may be another writing challenge, or just an average update post on some novels and stories I'm working on. Don't forget to check back on Saturday's for a new Camp Wilderocke post!
