This month's theme was "pet peeves." I worked from 12 PM to 5:30 AM, so about 15 hours 30 minutes, allowing for breaks. I wrote 7 poems on Tuesday and another 5 later in the week, for a total of 12.
Participation was dramatically lower, with only 16 comments on LiveJournal and 24 on Dreamwidth. A total of 16 people sent prompts. We have one new prompter.
