What does 2024 have in store for your poetry??

in Poetry Discussion

Hi all (:

2023 has been a brutalist landscape for many, but 2024 is fast approaching! While I don't set New Year Resolutions persay, I do like to consider what the future has in store, and what I aspire to achieve in the coming months.

So what do you hope to achieve in 2024? Having a poem published? Or create a new poetry collection? A consistent writing routine? Finally creating - or expanding - a social media poetry presence? Maybe your goals are more focused around education - reading more often/widely, or joining the poetry academy?

I would love to hear your thoughts.

Tough questions. Goals, that is. I have several works-in-progress that I need to attend to. But...

Let's face it. Shiny new things look so desirable it makes it easy to abandon the children and make another baby. Seriously, I have three collections I plan to complete: - World in Crisis for April 2024 (Earth Day) - Trees for Sep 2024 (Canada National Forest Week) - Christmas Lights For Dec 2024 How many poems does a collection make? Well, that looks like a full year, and if one stays focused, doable. Happy New Year!

Definitely developing a realistic writing routine and dedicating time to learning and utilising different poetry techniques, so lots of practice! 🙂

Another reasonable list I think! You got this, Kayleigh!

For me, my main priority for the first part of the year is make sure I’m well and truly back into the routine of creating content for YouTube. I want to try and hit 10,000 subs by this time next year.

I also want to take our magazine to the next level.

Finally I want to start taking my poetry presence out into the real world.

Last two points are vague because I have a terrible habit of setting myself crazy goals that most people deem unattainable. Therefore if I’m vague I have more room to achieve something and be proud of it. That said, 10k subs by Dec. 2024 might be a bit steep, but I have the best supporters over there so I have faith in them!

I don't see any of those goals as unattainable! With the right strategies, you'll nail the first two - and the third doesn't need to be a massive goal, move at a pace you're comfortable with.

Hope the movie was good 😊
