From the WWFC archives:
My NaNoWriMo Song is up on the NaNoWriMo site; it’s near the end of WrimoRadio Episode 3 podcast. Lyrics are at the end of this post…
It’s being sung by Jodi Krangle and Allison Durno, my music partners in Urban Tapestry, with musical accompaniment provided by Scott Snyder.
Jodi (who sings lead on the song) has just started doing voice-over work, by the way. If you’re looking for voice talent (audio book readings, narrating book videos, etc.), please do check out her voice over talent page.
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.

Hallo Debbie,
Who needs food or sleep anyway?
thank you so much so that song! Though I’m far from being stuck with my novel, with 22.327 words I’m just fine with my schedule, it was just what I needed to keep on going, Furthermore, I am trying to coach a team of seventeen fantasy writers towards the 50k, and since there are two or three who are about to give up all hope, I’ll just keep on singing your song to them
Thank you so much for the cartoons, too, you’re doing a great job and you were the very reason why I did NaNoWriMo in the first place - that was last year. Now, I can’t imagine a November without it…
Hope to see you next year, best wishes
Thesilée

Debbie, not only do you totally rock (seriously AWESOME song!) but Urban Tapestry sounds great. I love it!
This whole song made me smile - thanks for all you do. (I look forward to finding new comics for writers every time I log on these days.) You rock!
