I'm finding things out as I progress through my poem-NaNo:
1. Iambs (and trochees) become easier to find/feel with practice.
2. It takes anywhere from 90 minutes to three hours to craft a sonnet (not counting any revisions).
3. Spenserian sonnets still rock my socks.
4. I still have yet to write a "real" sonnet (rigorous iambic pentameter throughout).
5. Even when I think I've gotten a sonnet down pat, I inevitably will find too few or too many stresses in one or more lines. That irks me! It always seems to be a smooth process when I'm crafting.
