Intro to Icebreaker Week: Pod Together 2013

[poetree_admin]

As part of our collaboration with this year's Pod Together challenge, this week POETREE is hosting a parallel two-week icebreaker focusing on helping people of all skill levels warm up their creative juices, get acquainted with the resources poetree has to offer, and get oriented re: the challenges and pleasures unique to creating poetry rather than prose for such a challenge.

We hope all of you, pod_together participants and the broader poetree community alike, have fun with what we have planned.


Icebreaker #1 - Hail and Hello (and Some Poetry To Go) (introductions, brainstorming examples)

Sign Up to Support - Signups for Betas - Signups for Cheerleaders - Request Beta/Cheerleader Support

Icebreaker #2 - FONSFAQ long and serial poetry

Icebreaker #3 - Premise Haiku

Icebreaker #4 - The Venn Diagram of Collaboration: Where Do Performers Come In? (questions for discussion)

Am I missing where the icebreaker posts are? I'm admittedly super-tired and a little brainless.

You didn't miss anything. Due to a few unforeseeable circumstances the admins weren't able to get the first icebreaker post up yesterday. It is up now. Other posts will follow throughout the week. And links to those posts will be provided in this post as they go live.

Cool; thanks! I myself have been otherwise occupied for a couple days. Gonna try to catch up now.

No worries - I've been extremely swamped myself. The comments to the first icebreaker are well worth reading through, ETA: and the FONSFAQ post is up now - hope you enjoy!
