The Ballad of NaNoWriMo

'Twas the night before Nano, and all through my head,
Not a story was stirring, and it filled me with dread.

With no characters planned and no outline prepared,
As midnight grew near, I just sat there and stared.

I knew I was in for a very long night,
Now that Nano had started, and I had nothing to write.

When what to my wandering mind should appear,
But a hint of a plot (though it wasn't quite clear).

And I said to myself, "I hope my book doesn't suck.
Happy Nano to all! And to all, best of luck!"
