On my mother and nanowrimo

Nov 07, 2009 07:15

Syrinx and I are sort of competing this year to see who wins NaNoWriMo. This'll be my 5th year participating, and I've never won before, but fifth time's the charm... I'm pretty sure I've read that somewhere. Probably the Bible. Sure, why not ( Read more... )

That's really cute :-)

And, actually, that's really true of Amir. I feel like I'm ignoring him as I'm typing away. He's all, "What are you doing?" about every half hour or so, and it breaks my concentration. And last night we had a get together with his friends until late.

Not that I'm blaming Amir for my lagging behind LOL

You totally are, and I'm gonna tell him "Sherry says you're getting in the way of her creative successes!" ;-)

j/k

My mom and I are still laughing about that convo. It's like, I say, "I'm beating Sherry at writing fast!" She says, "That's probably because she has a real job, a husband, and lives in her own apartment." WTF?

Anyway, I'm all on the edge of my seat to see who Seema ultimately falls for. Make with the clickity-click-click, and I'll attempt to do the same.

I'm trying! I'm trying! But I write out a hundred words or so and then get terribly distracted.

I'm still laughing about this, too. I told my mom about it, and she found it hilarious :-)

Better not tell Amir I'm kinda-sorta-not really blaming him. I, uh, told him I'd do better at NaNoWriMo if he would finish his term paper. (He wanted to drop a class, found he couldn't and then declared he'd fail and retake the class. I flipped out when I found out it would cost $1,400 to retake the class when he still has a possibility of passing. He just doesn't want to write the paper. So I made a bargain with him, too. Oops.)
