The other night, as I fought and tore and wrenched myself closer to the 30000 word mark, my husband came over, bringing me a cup of tea. He stood behind my chair and I leaned my head back against his manly solar plexus and sighed. He stroked my hair.
‘How’s it going?’ he asked.
I waved my hand vaguely at the word-count widget.
‘I miss you, you know, in the evenings,’ said my husband, wistfully.
I smiled. How sweet of him.
‘Of course,’ he added thoughtfully, ‘I miss the computer too.’
We cheat - we each have a computer - now we simply argue about who should be online - - -

Heh heh, we’re the same as Archie’s family. Separate computers but we fight over the modem. But sometimes it’s good because when Kiko’s Daddy kidnaps the modem, I’m forced to write…
I see you’re soaring towards the 35,000 word mark! Well done!

The time we worked the best, we had two PCs and broadband. Then I broke one of the PCs. He says “that’s not true” - but he only *has* an opinion because he’s looking over my shoulder. Which kinda proves my point, no?
*hugs to both you fine folk*

Two computers and broadband - it’s the only way to go. Except it does mean we no longer talk to each other.

We only have the one computer. It’s on MY desk, though.

We only have the one computer. I get up early so I can use it in peace when B’s not there. Recipe for domestic bliss.

Two computers and broadband, but don’t talk.
Isn’t that what IM is for.

It’s getting worse and worse here, now that my son is a regular drain on computer time himself. It’s musical chairs with two computers and three internet addicts….
