How is your significant other dealing with NaNoWriMo? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/age-group-20s/threads/33437 lhenriksen I've been really lucky, my husband is extraordinarily supportive when it comes to NaNoWriMo. He's more convinced than I am that I'll be published one day. I don't want to brag ( I totally want to brag) but he's been making dinners and taking over some extra chores while I type away. It actually makes me feel a bit guilty when I procrastinate (like right now) instead of writing because I know that he's making sacrifices for this goal. I also feel guilty because my writing is really cutting into date nights and other quality time we spend together. How are your spouses/partners/friends with benefits dealing with NaNoWriMo? Do you have plans to make it up to them in the future?

It probably stems from the fact that I'm at home all day, and he's out working. I still do the cooking, and cleaning, etc, that I would normally do. But he has every confidence that I'll make it, so I'm trying hard, for the both of us. The best thing, is that we normally stay in anyway since he's working on his dissertation...whoa..idea that literally just came to me. If we stay in anyway...why don't I nano every month? (Duh). because, like now, I'm way too prone to procrastination. I need something to hit me over the head and tell me to just do it!...wait...I'm rambling. I guess I won't make it up to him. I don't think I really have to, considering all the time he's putting into his procrastinating...I mean writing. lol.

Except that he works out of town, so when he was in town for the start of NaNoWriMo he was jealous of the time commitment it was taking. But he loves me and so he dealt with it. NaNoWriMo is non negotiable in my world. I also ML - so there is an extra time commitment there. I think what he liked most about NaNoWriMo the first year I did it was that I was just a participant. I could not go to a write in if I wanted to. I didn't have ML duties like emails and pep talks and dares to keep up on. Since being an ML it definitely takes up a different chunk of time, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Well maybe the world, but only the good parts. I have also been notably happier since first participating in NaNoWriMo. And I have a core group of friend I met during NaNoWriMo. He can't complain about that. He's not aloud. Having these friends keeps me more well balanced, as before NaNoWriMo I was kind of lonely and struggling in the friend department. So overall Cowboy is supportive. Mostly he just tries to stay out of the way when the words start flying. We are both artists, him with music and me with writing, so we know that the best way to give each other support is to give them the time and space to do what we each love to do.

When I was having a blue period when I was at 40,000 words because I realized that I'd never get the story itself done, even though I'd easily reach 50,000, he told me to just put other things aside and go for it (even work less days the two remaining weeks at my waitress job) if that's what I REALLY wanted. :D So I'm going for it and trying to see how far I can get with the story, even if I may not finish the story, and set a deadline to finish the whole story even after Nanowrimo if I don't finish it before the 30th. :) Tue, 22 Nov 2011 20:57:41 -0600 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/age-group-20s/threads/33437?page=2#forum_thread_comment_811731 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/age-group-20s/threads/33437?page=2#forum_thread_comment_811731 lapetitekiwi My husband is being really supportive, giving me time to write and reading what I have written so far. I send them texts when I hit certain milestones and he says that they make his day.

That and though he is pretty accepting of gay people, he still wouldnt like what i am writing (just personal preference). But he is supportive, though he likes to tease me about being behind or that I cant write and watch tv so i am always trying to get him to play a video game instead. Though he was impressed that I am already as far as i am now.

Mostly, I try to get up early in the morning and do it before he wakes up XD I've discovered that kid + BF makes for not much spare time, for writing or anything else. When one is asleep/away, the other one magically pops up. Also, I work 6-7 days a week, I have very little time spend with BF to begin with, so at the start of the month I felt bad cutting into our time together, and I had a couple days off when I did almost no writing cause he was over. But now it's crunch time so I just tell him I have to write and I'll make it up to him in December, and he's cool with it :P Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:16:44 -0600 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/age-group-20s/threads/33437?page=2#forum_thread_comment_889436 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/age-group-20s/threads/33437?page=2#forum_thread_comment_889436 TheLoveMutt My BF thinks it's great that I'm doing this and has been very supportive. Yesterday when I was writing a marathon to be able to win, he kept telling me to stop procrastinating and kept asking for my word count. He even came to a couple of write-ins to get homework done and to support me. He is definitely glad that November is over though. I tried to keep my write-ins for when he was teaching or in classes or at work, but sometimes the times overlapped, or I would still have writing to get done for the day. We're having a date night tomorrow to make up for it. ^_^ Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:15:01 -0600 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/age-group-20s/threads/33437?page=2#forum_thread_comment_916192 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/age-group-20s/threads/33437?page=2#forum_thread_comment_916192 Angryman My girlfriend is handling this very well. Why? Because I don't have a girlfriend. ...I just made my very depressed... (Please note that this is all just a joke.
