A Drinking Song

A drinking song I wrote in 15 minutes...

Gather ‘round and ye all shall hear
The way to have fun without any fear,
For the ways of man, a quest for survival,
Often begins with decking a rival.

Grab a beer, malt or ale,
Don’t let them tease, always play fair.

A game of stones, someone cheats.
Set ‘em straight, knock out their teeth!
A fire’s warm, and so is your belly,
A fight you’ve got, but not a lady.

Hold down your beer, malt or ale,
Don’t let them tease, always play fair.

She watch’d ya deck that cheating liar,
Watched with eyes burning like fire.
Make your move, and don’t be hasty.
You’ve got all night, no time for wastin’!

It's not very good, but I was bored and messing around. Working towards my 100 posts for the Guild Hall, I guess. ;-)

NaNo Failure

As you are not aware, I have participated in National Novel Writing Month during November. I told you I would win, and upload a 50,000 word novel for you all to read and rip your eyes out to. I failed. Yes, I lied. But I don't care.

I set out at the beginning of November ready to write a 50,000 word novel. I ended up with a 20,000 word not-novel. A half-novel. A disgrace to a novella.

Aw...

But I was unprepared! I shall do better some other time!!! So while I promised you a brand new 50,000 word novel, I can't give it to you. But I will upload my 20,000 word failure, if anyone's interested, soon.

Also, I will resume putting 2244 up, chapter-by-chapter or whatever.

And much more is on the way; I've been having ideas much like Brush With Death, and it will only take a little push to get me to finish.
Thanx, bye.

EDIT: I have resumed writing my NaNo, but I will also post the first 2 chapters up at the end of January 2009. 2246 begins again this weekend.
