"NaNoWriMo Will Eat Your Soul" An Original Song

That's right! This is the first song I've ever written that involved a musical instrument. I was fiddling around with my ukulele (Echo Lee Kaywinnet), and 30 minutes later, this happened!

This is a song about the wonders of National Novel Writing Month (aka NaNoWriMo), which I will be attempting for the third time this November!

As always, this video was filmed on my trusty Flip camera.

Lyrics:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
It's almost November when this whole thing will begin
I got some character names and I got me a setting
I've got some semblance of a plot that won't mean anything
My word count is zero, no where near the 50k thrill
A blank page sits in front of me waiting to be filled

Welcome to the month of crazy
The challenge is hard when you are lazy
Like me
You'll write your novel and you'll shout
'Cause you stayed in writing, and you didn't go out
For weeks
NaNoWriMo will eat your soul
But you'll be happy

10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50
Watching your word count rise can be pretty nifty
Don't get caught up on the forums or you will be stuck
And back up all your files or you'll be out of luck
Put on your helmet and start gathering caffeine
Come November, you will be a writing fiend

Welcome to the month of crazy
The challenge is hard when you are lazy
Like me
You'll write your novel and you'll shout
'Cause you stayed in writing, and you didn't go out
For weeks
NaNoWriMo will eat your soul
But you'll be happy

When it's over

So you love NaNoWriMo and it makes you happy, but you hate your username? (Yes, I saw you on the forums)

[live2tivo]

@4096quagmire Basically. I really hate my username on the NaNo forums. I wish I was live2tivo over there.

Thanks.

NaNoWriMo isn't all about hitting 50k, it's about actually sitting down and writing something.

I enjoyed this oh so much. :)

As a 13-year-old NaNoer that's just started her NaNo career, I find this to be quite accurate. XD

This was uploaded 2 years ago today :) I've done NaNo 2 years now and "won" both times, and I've never been more excited and in love with writing. I love my characters and plot for this upcoming NaNo season. Nov 1, here I come!
