I remember you writing about your sonnet misadventure. Getting that first one under your belt is quite a challenge - it gets easier after that.
Zach Payne suggests that you simplify it for yourself by incorporating some, not all, sonnet features in your first attempts e.g. don’t worry about the rhyme scheme.
Great idea re: the book except I wouldn’t have the foggiest idea how to write it. I’ve been thinking of doing something like that for twittles, but haven’t figured out how to do that one either. 😳🙄
