The dreaded first draft
Is going so slowly
I’m so unproductive
It makes me feel lowly
The characters unformed
The plot’s just a mess
The story so far?
This must be a test
With each book this happens
I have to keep going
Write some each day
All the time knowing
That I’ll start to like it
One wonderous day
Writing stops being work
And starts to be play
Oh, when will I get to
That glorious point?
I do hope it’s soon
Cuz my mood’s out of joint

This week I have
Something to shout
My fourth novel Four Play
Is published and out
It took a whole year
And at times I did pout
But now I can smile
Since Four Play is here
Want to know more?
Well, please do not fear
In the fourth Cue Ball Mystery
These issues appear
There’s a murder of course
And Jimmy Beak plays a part
Jessie’d like to get rid of him
It would be a good start
And how does she do that?
Don’t worry, she’s smart
Bad plumbing also
Is a recurring theme
This may sound boring
But it’s not what it seems
It involves sci fi monsters
Who make people scream!
But now I have told you
As much as I plan
So go buy the book, silly
It’s at Amazan
You’ll like it a lot
Please tell all your clan

Right now I am working on something called JANO
It’s crazy exciting and here is the plan-o
A bunch of writers make valiant attempts
To each write a mystery novel, no matter how unkempt
In the space of one month, in Jan to be specific
We’re to each write a book, no matter how horrific
50,000 words total, all in 31 days
We’ll likely survive, but in a bit of a haze
We’re plugging away and doing quite well
The team spirit of it all puts us under a spell
Me? Lo and behold I’ve finished my rough draft!
Although when I re-read it, I know it will be daft
But that’s okay, that’s what February’s for
To start on revising, revising, and revising some more
So thank you, Sleuth’s Inc for giving me the incentive
To write this fast and be so inventive!
