Damon Jason Casale verbalized:

A day in the life of the fanfic author...

Up in the morning, about a quarter to eight,
The shuttle's in fifteen minutes, I'm going to be late.
Pants, shirt, shoes, and coat,
Twenty minutes later, I missed the boat.

Half the class is over, as I walked in,
And the teacher stares at me like it's a mortal sin.
Sit down, take notes, try to stay awake,
If college life is "fun", this takes the cake.

Four classes later, I've run out of steam,
but rest and sleep are yet only a dream.
Go to work!  Pay the rent!  I have too many bills.
If this keeps up much longer, I'll be on the pills.

Late that night, the last of the homework squirreled away,
At last, I patter at my fanfic, and pray
Maybe tomorrow, or next week, I'll finish this part,
If sleep deprivation doesn't get me, it'll be my heart!


Happy um...typing, all.  ^_^

Part II


Oh, gee, on my, I'm stuck, I'm stuck,
I wish I could write, it's just my luck,
I've writers block this dreary night,
no story here, nothing in sight.

Stared at the screen till my eyes turned blue,
my head, it feels, is filled with glue,
I've no ideas, no lines to type,
And what I get out sounds like tripe!

Oh, Help! Oh, Help!  The end is near,
This won't write its self that I fear,
This started so well and it was fun,
But drat and darn here comes the sun.

I must retire, I must quit,
for I think my head is about to split,
Too much soda, too many chips,
still I can't write.  This is the pits.
