This November I'm gonna write a novel in 30 days
and by December, I'll type "The End" on the last page
I've got some music. I've got my shiny new laptop
And now I'll use it as I sit down at the coffee shop
But everybody thinks I'm crazy
But I've only got 50,000 words to go
Before the end of NaNoWriMo
I thought that it'd be easy but its not
Yeah I've only got 50,000 words to go
Before the end of NaNoWriMo
I've got everything I need except the plot
I've got a trusty side-kick. I've got a strong protagonist.
There's a central conflict but a weak antagonist
I've got a cliched setting and at best my plot is trite
but at least I'm getting some time to myself at night
Refrain
Who decided to have Thanksgiving this time of year?
Don't they know I'm trying to launch my writing career.

I Should Be Writing

I work eight hours
steaming milk and sweeping floors
I come home and take a shower
and steam the coffee from my pores
I sit at my computer
and I open Firefox
I play a first person shooter
and then I open Google Docs
But there is nothing there
I'll guess I'll get to work
But I should be writing
I should be working on my craft
I should be writing
I should be submitting my next draft
But I'm sitting home watching Doctor Who
I stare at Google Reader
and I read a how-to blog
You've got to dig much deeper
to write convincing dialogue
so I search for inspiration
deep within the iTunes store
but there's no application
that will help me to ignore
the fact that Doctor Who is on TV tonight
Chorus
Why do I do this to myself?
Why can't I relax?
I want to see my name up on that shelf
on the spine of a paperback.
Chorus
