Anyways,
Him:
"You should write baby."
Me:
"Why, because you don't want to (insert extremely physical and demanding profession here) anymore? It's not like I would make money on it anyways."
Him:
"No, because it would make you happy. And, while I do see you as an extension of myself, you are also your own person with your own dreams."
Me:
"Aww, that is really sweet. Dammit kid, please quit screwing around and do your English! Uh, sorry. This was a super sweet conversation for a minute there."
Him:
"Lol. It's okay.
It doesn't matter if you make money off of it or not. What matters is that it would make you happy."
Me:
"Yea...I guess I'll go ahead and get Word when our taxes come in"
Lack of the proper program has been a great excuse for years. Whatever am I going to do without said excuse?
I could easily come up with another excuse, or I could actually write something...
In other news, Alpha took the temperamental overachiever to work with him today. Uh huh, it's been a gloriously lazy day. Surprisingly frustration free too.
Okay, so there was that one moment when the little one lodged a complaint about me using a couple pieces of his cucumber on my eyes, but he forgave me.
Isn't that the most wonderful thing to hear: do what makes you happy? I think you should write, you have a lot of knowledge to offer. Just my opinion :)
ReplyDeleteFaerie,
Deleteit really is a wonderful feeling.
Thank you for the encouragement!
Yes, write! It's very energising and satisfying. Forget Word, try LibreOffice, it's free!
ReplyDeleteDelFonte,
DeleteI'll look into it.
I like word because of it's editing features, and the fact that it seems to be the required software for most projects.
Hey Lil, very sweet. So wonderful he is encouraging you to do something that makes you happy.
ReplyDeleteI agree you should write. You have a lot to offer and a beautiful writing style.
Hugs

Roz,
DeleteYou are too sweet! Thank you.
I've said all along you should write, :)
ReplyDeleteI love that he said, "It doesn't matter if you make money off it or not. What matter is that it would make you happy." How sweet!!! Alpha surprises me every once in a while, lol.
Ever tried 'Google Docs'?
Sarah,
DeleteUhmmm, are you sure?? Jk.
I love it too.
Writing is good! It sounds like it would be a stress reliever.
ReplyDeletePet,
DeleteI completely agree.!
Its great that he is encouraging you to do something you love, there was a lot of thought behind his comments and that is special.
ReplyDeletedancingbarez,
DeleteIt really is very special.
Listen to Alpha. You should write, you are great and if it is something that makes you happy, even better. Write for you, but I will definitely be a fan.
ReplyDeletesunnygirl,
DeleteI appreciate your encouragement.
You'd be the best fan ever!
That is so very sweet of him to only want you to do something that makes you happy. You are a very lucky girl! Can't wait to read what you come up with.

Pocahontas,
DeleteIt really is sweet, and I try to keep in mind how lucky I am.
Lil, write dammit.
ReplyDeleteBleuame,
Deletelol! You're awesome.
you can also try OpenOffice its free ware, compatible with just about every format, easy to use, and excellent, but basically free...
ReplyDeleteTigger Sub,
DeleteI had it for a while, but I'm a bit more picky than I like to admit lol.
That's so very sweet :) And you should! Another free option is Open Office - they have a full suite that is completely compatible with MS Office.
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))
June,
Deletehave used it before, and it does beat works by a mile--nothing is more frustrating than typing up a paper and having someone tell you they can't even open it lol.
Jump on it lady! You have his support. There's no stopping you!
ReplyDeletePinkRandi,
DeleteThanks for the support!
