resolutions?
Jan. 2nd, 2007 09:01 am"So," Z asked me over dinner last night, "what are your plans for 2007?"
"Hm," I said, "maybe I'd better hear yours first."
"Mine might depend on yours," he said.
"Mine might depend on yours," I answered.
We were at an impasse. Then Z hit upon a great idea: he is going to publish a romance novel. A cheap, formulaic category romance, under a ridiculous pseudonym. He later checked all the Harlequin guidelines.
More serious plans were discussed, but to no real end. ( mundania )
I know, I know, that was boring. Sorry. Z's idea of writing a Harlequin romance was much more amusing. He wanted to bet me that he'd do it-- idea to submission in twelve months. I didn't take the bet. I probably should have, because I doubt he'll really do it-- it takes him six hours to write a 500-word article, at the very least, so I can't imagine how long 50,000 words would take him. But it would certainly be amusing.
I am so logy today, I don't quite know what to do with myself. I should do the laundry but Z failed to give me any of his dirty clothes, and I don't really know where to go to hunt them down. If I am super super lazy I won't do the laundry today either. And then I can go to work naked. Yay! :/
