-----Update [Day 16]-----
Winners of Days 11 & 12 announced!Introduction
Hello poets and poetry appreciators! Welcome to our Day 16 of 100 update. Day 16 began at 6 PM GMT on March 22. If you can believe it, we are now 1/6 of the way through our journey!
Changes to challenge operation & reminders
This challenge was designed to work best for those who can take initiative and are self-motivated. If you are not following the guidelines, have skipped more than 3 days in a row and have not contacted me to explain your situation, are trying to post for past days after they have ended, etc. you have been removed from the official running. This is only in relation to the daily prizes, so of course all are welcome to participate in our classes each day in the discord! In other words, do not expect me to come to you and say "you have been removed from the challenge." It is your responsibility to follow the guidelines set forth and keep up with the updates. Also, if you attend classes you will be up to date with everything happening. A huge shout out to all the participants keeping up with this ambitious undertaking. You are awesome!

Gratitudes & reflections
As I mentioned before, this challenge was designed to be a bit of extra fuel for those wanting to take their poetic practice to the next level. It works best for those already strongly motivated in this area, as it requires a lot of perseverance and grit to maintain the perpetual motion of daily creation, editing, and sharing.
In life, YOU are the only one that can make the decision to pursue greatness. Yet, as a community, we can also band together with others who have chosen this path and watch our resolve grow ever stronger day by day. Although we have many differences, it is what we share that is most precious.
In my experience, these sentiments seemingly idealistic are capable of being manifested. It doesn't matter whether one is an optimist or a cynic. Self-definitions fall by the wayside in the face of actualization. Life is quite mechanical in its operation: consistency & discipline work for all alike, when practiced properly.
Thank you for your donations!
