@evelyn Thank you!!

I actually have a very similar editing process to what you both have advised, which is actually surprising me! lol

This is my usual process:

1. I write the poem in my poetry notebook that I keep on my bedside table. I keep it there for a few days in case I have a new idea to add.

2. Then, I type it up on my computer and print it out.

3. After this, I leave the printout beside my bed and mark it up with edits, and anything else that I think of.

Usually, I take about a month or more editing the printout, typing it up again, and repeating.

I try to take some time every day to either read poetry, read a novel with inspiring prose, read and edit my own poetry, or write a poem.

Also, I have a local friend who writes poetry with me and we read and coedit each other’s work every week or so.

I’m in love with the idea of walks as creative medicine and I’ve never thought of changing the font to see mistakes. I’ll have to add both of those to my habits!!

I went ahead and joined the April one, actually. XD I made the word count like 10,000 though. I just want to log what I do and see how well I do, if that makes sense. It’s also a motivator. 🙂 What’s your username?
