Two Years Ago I Wrote The Following, Except For A Few Minor Changes:

NaNoWriMo is for me and many mo

50,000-word count in one month

25,000 is the number for midmonth.

It takes dedication to write enough

I think you have to be tough,

it is rough

each day to make it to that goal.

~

I am so close today and my soul

says does it make sense, is it my focal

I decided to write a poem a day only for vocal

I could not write 600 words plus everyday

and hey, I did alright today

and tomorrow I will do okay.

~

Vocal is local

and has many benefits that Vocal!

And I like the Facebook groups

it is more like troups,

that support the writing together

never leaving a man behind, whether

they say something they should not

or write something that is rot

They support each other, alot!

~

My question is will I have a book

when I finish the NaNoWriMo hook?

Some say

nay, nay,

others say, in a month or so you will wish

it will be time to edit and finish.

NaNoWriMo gives dedication to writing every day

If you don't have it already from Vocal today!

~

My NaNoWriMo adventure starts this Wednesday,

on November first. My writing started some time ago.

Some of you know.

I have been writing shorts on aging.

I think this is a good thing for me to write about as I am sageing

Not sagging, saging, or smudging.

You know a wise one. I am getting older and wiser.

Besides getting older, greyer and smartassier.

Hey that is a great idea for the challenge assier?

Time to work on my project before I become even sassier!
