I was telling Mom about the year long version of nano that I entered. While she did take me to the library and allow me to check out books to help me with backround information, this morning she told me it was a complete waste of time because no prize was involved. I think the prize is knowing I accomplished something. Mom disaggrees. She thinks money or something should be involved. Her comment made me feel like punching her face in! The other thing I said was "I joined these communities to get un-biast help with my writing". Sorry I just needed to vent. Back to my entry.
