(originally posted on 11/4 over on Facebook)
There's this thing every November
called National Novel Writing Month
or NaNoWriMo for short
(or for those who like to say
Na-na-na-na-boo-boo)
But here's the problem--
I am, by nature,
a most curious beast--
and both willful and backhanded
As soon as I'm told what to do
and when to do it...
I don't.
I'm sure there's a reason.
Some psychological
bibbidy-bobbidy-boo--
You can certainly analyze me if you wish
(though I wouldn't wish it upon you).
It's not that I can't hit a deadline
or sling words around like mud
and see what sticks
...and what stinks
But I'd rather have a story
than 50,000 words.
