lonelyheartemma Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 It doesn't happen often, maybe once every 10 years so I wanted to make a note of it. My publisher said I was dedicated and he wished there were 10 of me. I told my mum as I thought it would make her laugh (she's always saying she's glad I'm not twins) but she said she was PROUD of me. 3 times!. It's a slight shame she decided to squeeze my hand really hard every time she said it. I have a sprained wrist and having my hand squeezed is agony. So I do kind of wish I'd waited till she was sitting the other side of me but she said it. She actually said it to ME. I have to say I am quite proud of myself for rewriting a whole chapter (4000 words) with one hand last night. Go me haha. Now I'm going to cross my fingers (with my good hand) that they won't want ask for the next bit till my wrist is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonelyheartemma Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Thank you Bubbles. I think maybe it does hurt her! But at least I know she really means it. Thank you Data. I really do struggle with that one as my mum thinks I value myself too much. And maybe I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
