NaNoWriMo, and a good phone call

Posted on | October 21, 2008 | 1 Comment

Calie, my wonderfully brilliant critique partner lives in Wilmington, NC. She called me from an Obama benefit where James Taylor was singing. Calie works in a theatre, and has many fun stories about the theatre antics. And I got an e-mail from her this week saying that she would be at the event. But the best part? She called me when he was singing “You’ve Got a Friend.” I will admit, I got a little teary eyed.

For Calie and all my friends…… James Taylor —

When youre down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Youve got a friend.

If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, aint it good to know that youve got a friend?
People can be so cold.
Theyll hurt you and desert you.
Well theyll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but dont you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Oh babe, dont you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all youve got to do is call.
Lord, Ill be there, yes I will.
Youve got a friend.
Youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.
Youve got a friend.

I’m following a few new people on Twitter who are involved with the NaNoWriMo project :) I’m so excited!

And I got my schedule to volunteer at Wordstock. I am going to take classes around the scheduled volunteer work. So much to do…. sheesh.

And my husband is the awesome. He bought me Fable 2. But I’m not touching it, not even opening it until after the deadline (Nov 1). It’s going to kill me. I will die of Fable-inabilitytoplaydisease. Really. I’m serious.

I’m gym bound this evening. Have a loverly night.
