NaNo-song for 2007

[bookish_dragon]

Another year, another parody. Again by Twilight Muse, it can be found here on the NaNo-forums.

It's a parody on Lee Ann Womack's I Hope You Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of marvel
May you get your word count
But always keep that ambition
May you never take one single character for granted
God forbid your muse ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand in a bookstore
Whenever one plot ends, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give ideas a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or write
I hope you write
I hope you write

I hope you never fear those obstacles in the distance
Never settle for the plot of least resistance
Writing might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
An idea might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let a low word count
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give your creation
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or write
I hope you write
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you write
(Rolling us along)
I hope you write
(Tell me who)
I hope you write
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those characters would have gone)

I hope you still feel small

And when you get the choice to sit it out or write
Write
I hope you write
I hope you write
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you write
(Rolling us along)
I hope you write
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you write
(Where those characters would have gone)
