Convincing Your SO....

<< < (2/3) > >>

meg_evonne:
spouse gone (X), kids gone(at least physically if not financially), write all I want. 

THEN boom my blue merle sheltie has taken it into his head to be my "writing timer".  At some unknown point in the evening he will race in from where-ever he's been sleeping and take a five foot leap into my arms on the laptop.  First it always scares me, 2nd his nails punch into my stomac and last and most irritating one of his paws inevibly hits a button or something that tosses the laptop into "panicked and locked down mode".   Luckily I do not lose what I've written but not yet saved otherwise the dog would have been sent out to plaly with the coyotes.....  okay I'm joking there.   

What bugs me is he seems to know when I have reached a stopping point or a point of not knowing where I was going in the writing.  So he's got pretty good writer's radar for when breaks need to fall.   LOL

Meg - something is going wrong in your computer. This is the second string I've seen your posts duplicate themselves.

Sorry, I have no idea what's up or how to fix it, just letting you know it's happening.

On topic:

The hubby is extraordinarily supportive, especially considering I don't let him read my stuff.

My beagle, on the other hand, had the opposite radar as Meg's pup. As soon as I get on a roll, she comes up and nudges my mouse arm and begs for my attention... mostly for a trip outside. Sheesh!

Grogtard:
My cat, very bad writing timer.  But then again cat's aren't know for their empathy.

It's probably a forum glitch: this happens from time to time on just about every forum I've ever been on.

My SO is an artist. I have the opposite problem*...she wonders why I'm doing less work than her.



*Normally. She's in a slump right now, and wants attention, so it's hard for me to even use my computer for anything, let alone write. I've actually taken my laptop to work to get some things in ;)
