Neither did he. He might be talking about his wife?
I don’t know why I still have this window open.
Entirely too many distractions.
Who can work with all the chapters being in, Journos, bluefish and coffee, naked women & slapping going on?
Wait. Inspiration at last.
Totally agree but am sitting here laughing at the pants discussion and Pigfenders reply and I still have only 1200 words written, do I panic 
What would the main cal the pants. Not yoga pant, but something you’d get from a department store.
The wife uses them for pj bottoms. Same purpose but I don’t see this person using that phrase.
Then there’s the old standby, jamma bottoms.
Just an aside, previous liaisons have had that sort of thing sorted out after the first encounter.
On another note. I finally got a clue. Created a scrivener project just for NIAD. How do I drag the brief file into scrivener? Is it possible to drag the files sent by our illustrious PF from previous years into scrivener as well. Now that it’s asked, I can get back to writing. Been nagging me.
Y’alls reading too much into this. I’m not adding to the story. Just making it … mine. 
I have all kinds of words, but being a 40yr old 'merican man, I suspect that I do not have the right level of 'phistication in my word choice.
Looks like I need to go find a victoria’s secret catalog. That will cause problems should the wife find me looking at that…
Just tell her you are procrastinating.
Done! Argh, I’m rusty, this took longer than I thought.
Okay, now for the last-minute-panic-induced last read and to hit the send button (No! Not the send button! NnnnnoooooOOOOOOO!)

jogging bottoms

Private browsing is your friend.
sweats, although that might be more American.
That doesn’t help when the wife is reading over your shoulder …
I’ll let piggy deal with de-'merican-ing my chapter.
Where’s the daughditor? Surely she’d be present for your first NIAD. College is no excuse, if that’s when she’s galloped off to.
3000 words. After a lunch break I hope I’ll have enough time to make it shorter.
Just emailed mine off…
For the first 3 NIADs, I started work right on 10am (I have the best time zone for NIAD) and had finished the first draft by around 1-2pm…
This time, started at 4pm, submitting at 4am.
Thanks again to piggy for his story, management, email sys admin recovery skills, handholding through my above-usual amount of whining, etc.
Good luck to everyone who still has some way to go.
I’ll check in to see how you all went tomorrow!

Anyone know of an online app that will scan copy for UK English usage? Otherwise I’ll leave well enough alone.
Just replace all your American “z” with “s” and put the “u” back in colour where it belongs and you’ll be fine.
Even the poms send people to jail rather than gaol these days.

PS - I can say Pom coz I’ve been called a roo catcher all afternoon 
Just sent my scene in as well. A bit nervous about it since I’m so very out of my element!
A little over 2k words, proofreading now.
Pajama bottoms, really? Sweat pants for our girl.
Uni. 1.2K mi away. Doesn’t even know I’m doing it. I’ll catch hell for it.
