NaNoWriMo
A month
to write
a novel
throughout the nations.
But on day 6
I already
require fibrillation.
So tired
So worn
and the end of day
My eyelids are drooping
and I think there’s no way
after pounding out emails
and working all day
I have any energy
for what writing entails.
But I’m half way through
a fun new novella
If I can just sit and type
avoid Facebook and Skype
write, write, write
then perhaps in spite
of procrastination
I’ll be able to sing
in celebration.
No need for special inspiration
just dedication to my narration.
