MIMI'S NANOWRIMO PEP SONG
By Debbie Ridpath Ohi

Mimi is quite lightheaded,
hyper and so excited
She's signed up for NaNoWriMo
Mimi's novel grew and grew but
things slowed down, it's now Week Two, and
she still has 43,000 words to go.

Mimi calls her friends and cries
about her novel's sad demise,
but they say,

CHORUS:
Keep on writing, don't be a dope!
So what if your novel's under-weighted?
Keep on fighting, you can cope...
Add some footnotes! Annotate it!

Mimi says, "Okay, okay I
won't give up, at least today, and
hey I'll write about my boyfriend Tim" but
Tim he frowned and said a curse 'cuz he
hasn't seen her since November 1st
and wants to know what Mimi wrote about him?

So Mimi shows him Chapter 23 where he
saves the whole world and wins the lottery
and he says:

CHORUS:
Keep on writing, don't weep or mope
Food and sleep are over-rated
Keep on fighting, don't give up hope
When creativity has vacated
Nano-NaNoWrimo
Nano-NaNoWrimo
Nano-NaNoWrimo.
