Val sings to Jill about the horrors of editing during NaNoWriMo.

lyrics

VERSE 1:
There is a drive within you that strives for perfection
While good for surgeries and giving injections
But you need to write words if you're doing nano
Don't stop to erase them, else you'll break creative flow

I know you cannot help to correct your mistakes
But you have to press forward, whatever it takes
That curly red underline is tempting To fix
Stay stalwart, keep on going, that is the trick

PRE-CHORUS:
Cannot afford to right all wrongs
Don't go back. Continue on!

CHORUS:
(you cannot edit)
You can't hit backspace (you cannot edit)
Don't try to be neat (you cannot edit)
Forgive your errors (you cannot edit)
And don't delete (you cannot edit)

VERSE 2:
There is that inner critic that berates you till you quit
It's a nuisance, you'll do better when you learn to ignore it
Work on something else if you get in a rut
It's not like people care when you screw things up

PRE-CHORUS:
Edit later. You don't have time right now.
You wanna win I'll tell you how.

Chorus
(you cannot edit)
You can't hit backspace (you cannot edit)
Don't try to be neat (you cannot edit)
Forgive your errors (you cannot edit)
And don't delete (you cannot edit)
