My only requirement is that you sing this song out loud, sitting at your computer to the tune of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music....
My Favorite Things – Writer Style
(by Trish Berg www.trishberg.com)
Fingers on keyboards and coffee for power
Spending all day in my sweatpants unshowered
Finding the right words to make my thoughts sing
These are a few of my favorite things
Queries through e-mail and columns and edits
Contracts and deadlines and due dates I’ve met
Writing all night with the moon glowing bright
These are a few of my favorite things
Publishers asking for my book proposals
Phone calls and IM’s and agents who know all
Bright sunny mornings when I can sleep in
These are a few of my favorite things
VVV
When the e-mail Says 'no thank you'
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
VVV
(Repeat verses as needed)
