I didn't write a poem a day for April

I'd succeeded the last two Aprils by writing 30 new poems, but each time by my estimation, I got five good poems and twenty-five shitty ones out of it. This year, I decided to write 500 words a day on my novel, An Angry Therpist's Thursday Appointments.  Any poets out there write 16,000 words this month? Now all I hope is that 80% of those words aren't shitty.

Yes! I did! I didn't write one single poem, but I knocked off chapter after chapter in my novel! Yay for April and yay for us!
