Writer's version of Jingle Bells...

It is getting closer and closer to Christmas...
Last year I did the Twelve Days of Writing, which you can find here.

This year, I give you The Writer's Version of Jingle Bells:

I call it Writing Sells

Dashing through the edits

In a week or maybe a day

O'er the words we go

Screaming all the way

Tracking changes blinks

Making comments bright

What fun it is to write and edit

A work in progress tonight!

(chorus)

Writing sells, writing sells,

If you work real hard.

Oh! what fun it is to write

On a contracted book tonight.

Writing sells, writing sells,

writing all the way;

Oh! what fun it is to write

On a contracted book tonight.

A day or two ago

I thought I'd write a book

And soon my editor

Had covered it with red,

The outcome seemed not bright

My plot was full of holes

I had written a fantastic book

Or so the coffee said...

Writing sells, writing sells,

If you work real hard.

Oh! what fun it is to write

On a contracted book tonight.

Writing sells, writing sells,

writing all the way;

Oh! what fun it is to write

On a contracted book tonight.

Now the changes made

I am sure I have it right,

Send it back again

but fear I've gotten it wrong.

Just get a shot of vodka

Maybe a cuppa joe

Open up a new word doc

And give it another go.

Writing sells, writing sells,

If you work real hard.

Oh! what fun it is to write

On a contracted book tonight.

Writing sells, writing sells,

writing all the way;

Oh! what fun it is to write

On a contracted book tonight.
