Fandom: Filking Paul Simon for Writers

[nebroadwe]

James MacDonald got it started over at Making Light:

You got problems with your writing
She said to me
The answer’s easy if you
Put your B in C
I’ll show you how to move along
When you find you’re up a tree
There must be fifty ways
To plot your novel.

But I must say my favorite comes from Stephen Frug in the comments:

A man throws down his pencil
He says why am I stuck in the middle now
Why am I stuck in the middle
The rest of this book is so hard
I need a writer's resort vacation
I want a shot at a Nebula
Don't want to end up a remainder
On a remainder table ...

Share and enjoy!

Oh, my, I love that last. :) Nothing like a good filk -- and speaking of which, ravensnow says she's working on the third verse of "The Pastor is a Dimwit". I haven't heard if certain other Iron Filk-worthy contributions are also forthcoming.
