This week, well last week to be more exact, I started NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month, in which participants aim to write a 50,000word novel in a month. I’m currently at 12,515words which isn’t bad but isn’t good as my target for today is to be at 15,000words minimum. As a result, updates this month will be few and far between, unless we get approved for my Canadian visa, then you’ll know ALL about it!
Speaking of NaNoWriMo, I’ve spent a lot of time staring at my blank screen this week and The Canadian One has done his best to help:
The Canadian One’s advice for the blank page: ‘White is the color of peace…and loneliness.’
***
Me: ‘I’ve become stucked.’ (not a word, let’s not panic)
Him: ‘Throw in giant spiders. That’s gotta be at least four pages just describing them.’
***
Me: ‘I’m seven words off my target.’
Him, counting on his fingers: ‘And then they lived happily ever after…I can’t believe that’s actually seven!’
***
At dinner, guy: ‘Stop humping the furniture….You have no idea how many times people say that to me at parties.’
***
Also at dinner, South African girl: ‘Where are you from?’
Me: ‘Ireland.’
Her: ‘North or south?’
Me: ‘South. Dublin.’
Her: ‘I didn’t know Dublin was south!! Say ‘car”
Me: ‘Car.’
Her, looking more disappointed that I’ve ever seen anyone my entire life, ‘No, you don’t say it the way my friend does.’
***
WTF moment of the week:
The Canadian Immigration office in Seoul sent me a letter requesting my address. A letter!
***
Little girl to little boy annoying her: ‘You are a bad child!’
***
Kid, instead of saying ‘Oh my God!’: ‘OH MY GRANDFATHER!!’
