NaNoWriMo and Shakespeare

The October 24, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
All of these words were coined by Shakespeare, cold hearted, lustrous, savagery ,swagger and watchdog. Try using these words in a story or a poem. Have fun!

I am sure Shakespeare had a dream or perhaps a nightmare about National Novel Writing Month when he coined those words because they fit the emotional roller coaster that occurs during November.

The lustrous visions
of writing 50,000 words
glistens in the mad minds
of authors waiting for November
the arrival of NaNoWriMo.

You can tell by their swagger
that they have the planted the dagger
of their self-confidence
into the icy soul of their fears.

They have turned doubt's
cold hearted savagery
into a pen mightier
then any nuclear bomb
and loosed the watchdog
of their muse
to harass
the serpents of trepidation.

Food for Thought: “There's an old folk saying that goes: whenever you delete a sentence from your NaNoWriMo novel, a NaNoWriMo angel loses its wings and plummets, screaming, to the ground. Where it will likely require medical attention.” - Chris Baty
