🌈 Pro Tips

Keep a small notebook ready for daily ideas.

Set aside 15 minutes each morning for reflection or brainstorming.

Most importantly, have fun — this isn’t about perfection, it’s about expression.

 Your words will light up hearts just like diyas light up homes. 🪔

I can’t wait to read your poems!

With warm wishes and festive joy,
