All I Want for NaNo
Yeah, you wish you could live in my world of obliviousness, right?
Sorry, it's a tiny world inside my tired brain.
But...I had this little ditty all typed out on my iPhone and I wanted to give the writers of this anthology their due. There is some amazing talent behind this great read: J.A. Bennet, Kelley Lynn, David Powers King, Jessica Salyer, and Becca Ann.
This is a must buy for my Christmas season! Get your copy Here!!
So, without further ado, here is my contribution to the All I Want for NaNo Blog Hop.
It may be sung to the tune of "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth", or not, depending on how well you carry a tune...
All I want for NaNo is a cure for carpal tunnel
A cure for Carpal tunnel
Oh, a cure for carpal tunnel
All I want for NaNo is a cure for carpal tunnel
So I can write my masterpieces!
It seems so long since I could say
Typing doesn't cause finger tingles
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,
If I didn't feel like I had shingles!
All I want for NaNo is a cure for carpal tunnel
A cure for Carpal tunnel
Oh, a cure for carpal tunnel
All I want for NaNo is a cure for carpal tunnel
So I can write my materpieces!
WedMD says ice you see
will keep me typing like a missile
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be
If I wasn't too frozen to write an epistle!
Hope you enjoyed my masterful song writer skills...now, go buy the book!
That was really clever! Yes, I was singing along. Not out loud though. My co-workers would think I was nuts.
ReplyDeleteThey most certainly would!
DeleteHave fun with NaNo. I did try singing along to your ditty. :)
ReplyDeleteIt probably didn't fit perfectly...I used poetic license.
DeleteYou may be late, but that was the best post yet. You're so awesome *hugs*
ReplyDeleteHugs right back!!
DeleteThe best hmm? That makes the over-achiever in me right happy!
Excellent, Elizabeth and a great wish for writers:)
ReplyDeleteI know I'd love it!
DeleteHA!
ReplyDeletenow I will have this in my head all day long1
There are worse thoughts that could be stuck in your head ;)
Deletebahaha!! I love it! I DO wish there was a cure for carpal tunnel...mine get inflamed. The doctor said to stop writing. He thought he was clever.
ReplyDeleteTell him to stop breathing...it's about the same thing!
DeleteMy excuse lately for things is my brain fell out. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a cure for carpal tunnel too. I've dealt with it since about 1992.
I bet that's my problem too! My brain fell out, surpassed the five second rule, and now has floor sprinkles on it slowing me down!
DeleteLol! Love it, Elizabeth! You are so funny and talented!
ReplyDeleteAh thanks Emily! The feeling is mutual.
DeleteLOL! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI know. Next thing you know I am going to have musicians calling me for my mad skills ;)
DeleteHah! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteNot nearly as smart as a Carrie Butler post, but I tried.
DeleteHa! That is awesome, Elizabeth! (Sorry about the carpal tunnel, though.)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to read these stories! Love so many of these authors!
I think I am going to buy it for the holiday season while I relax and do nothing!
DeleteLol, brilliant! :-) Apart from the pain, of course...
ReplyDeleteNo pain no gain, right?
DeleteWhat a fun little ditty. Wait, what am I saying. That was a creative way to share your Nano wish. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I dropped out this year before I even started :)
DeleteThis is so perfect, I love it. Like Alex, I was singing along in my head LOL.
ReplyDeleteYou must use your imagination to make in fit completely...or do some note bending like Whitney Houston.
DeleteI love this!! My favorite post :) You are so funny! I totally sung it in my head :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed. :)
DeleteBwhaha . . . loved your song, and like Alex and Julie, I started singing along. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks like we have enough people to start a choir!! Get this little ditty into the marketplace!
Deleteha ha ha ha ha!
ReplyDeletei laugh because i am wearing my wrist brace as we speak/type!
have to wear it to bed too or it goes numb. youre awesome, lady! we need to do lunch! (hilarious comment at marks too!)
Yes we do!!!! I would love that. Now I must go remember what I said at Mark's...
DeleteOh Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteYour poem is cool. I aint no fool. NaNo you say? A blogfest you say? Make them, make them go away. And to the song by Steam, sort of, "NaNo na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
NaNo na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
NaNo na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye..."
All the best, I'm going now.....
Gary :)
I could never compete with how you lay down the rhymes Mr. G-Ary
DeleteLove it! That is so my song! LOL
ReplyDeleteWrists straight while you sing Lisa!
