Dear Mr. Rabbitt, I think you got the lyrics wrong

Dear Eddie Rabbitt Estate & Writing Friends -

Sometimes when my brain is stuck for an awesome blogging topic (as it seems to be most days), I turn on the radio for a little inspiration. Wow, I feel so old. A radio. Anyway, my husband was in control of the radio the other day and lo, who came on but Eddie Rabbitt and his song Drivin' My Life Away. It's sooooo catchy.

My inspiration struck in the form of parodying Mr. Rabbitt's song. Please don't sue me. And it's totally appropriate because I'm attempting Camp NaNoWriMo this month with the third book in my Legends and Lover series. Gotta keep writin'!

Well the midnight desk light can find you on any night.
Coffee gone to your head,
Can't slow down got no time.
Gotta keep writing.
That laptop keyboard clacking out a tempo.
Keeping perfect rhythm with the song on XM radio.
Gotta keep writing.

Ooo, I'm writing my life away, looking for a best seller for me.
Ooo, I'm writing my life away, looking for a another page.

Well the Starbucks cutie ignoring me.
Tried to talk him into free coffee,
But he just keep walking.
Hey muse get me another round of inspiration.
Sit me down, prop me up, shoot out another thousand words.
Before I'm drowning in aggravation.

Ooo, I'm writing my life away, looking for a best seller for me.
Ooo, I'm writing my life away, looking for a another page.

Well the midnight desk light can find you on any night.
Coffee gone to your head,
Can't slow down got no time.
Gotta keep writing.
That laptop keyboard clacking out a tempo.
Keeping perfect rhythm with the song on XM radio.
Gotta keep writing.

Ooo, I'm writing my life away, looking for a best seller for me.
Ooo, I'm writing my life away, looking for a another day.

When I'm not p!$$ing off the wealthy estates of famous singer-songwriters, I'm hanging out on Facebook, Twitter, my own blog Have Novel, Will Edit and occasionally G+.

I just ooze it. :D Well, some days. Most days it backs up in me and . . . this is getting a little awkward, huh?
