On the first day of writing my muse did give to me

A laptop to set on my knee.

On the second day of writing my muse did give to me

Two typing hands, and a laptop to set on my knee.

A lovely Scrivener app, 

Two typing hands, 

And a laptop to set on my knee.

Four hours alone,

A lovely Scrivener app, 

Two typing hands,

And a laptop to set on my knee.

A lovely Scrivener app, 

Two typing hands,

And a laptop to set on my knee.

Six grammar errors…

Eleven sips of Scotch,

Ten sticky plot points,

Nine POV switches,

Eight possible titles,

Seven engaging characters,

Six grammar errors…

FIVE CUPS OF COFFEE!

Four hours alone,

A lovely Scrivener app, 

Two typing hands,

And a laptop to set on my knee!
