    Penny-a-Poem

    For those of you who are new to NaPo, it's become a PFFA tradition to donate a penny for each poem posted during NaPo.

    Just a penny! Per poem!

    Say this year there were 50 threads (which there are) with 30 poems per thread, that's 1500 poems which works out to only $15.00! You can't even go to a movie and have popcorn and a Big Gulp for that! And you'll be supporting PFFA!

    Once again I'm keeping track of the poems on my Nifty NaPo spreadsheet and will post the total number on May 1 or shortly after. Then, you can go here to make a one-time NaPo donation with PayPal. (You can also subscribe and extend your giving past April.)

    Total number of 2016 NaPo poems written: 1123

    As an alternative, some people are donating a dollar for each poem they wrote this month, $30.00 if they wrote 30 poems. (Of course, if you want to give $1123.00, a dollar for the collective number of poems, that would be very nice, too. ) Whichever way you decide, your generosity is much appreciated and it all goes to support PFFA.

    Just a penny! Are you in?

    "I paid for these poems, now I gotta write 'em!"

    Now, that's commitment!
    Way to go Arlene.

    More than ok and very generous, thanks, Arlene!

    Number of poems as of this morning has been tallied and posted - 1123. That comes to $11.23, or a mere $12.00 rounded up.

    Done. I paid a dollar for each poem I wrote, so 34. Worth it!
