An ode to the NaNoWriMo Mamas:
Sleepless nights, we’ve been there
Tantrum toddlers, we don’t fear
Take out dinners, gulping caffeine
Give me a second while I finish this scene!
Untucked child whining from bed;
Unruly characters refuse to be led
We panic, we cry, we procrastinate
Feeling a bit sick from the junk food we ate
Family support, cheering friends
Blast us through fears, give strength to the end
50K words not as tough as it sounds
A NaNo Mama leaps it in one single bound!
(Yeah, right!)
Congratulations to ALL NaNoWriMo participants, winners or not! We are novelists!
