“不好意思，我又把我的钥匙留在房子里面。”
I think that’s right. Is it? It’s what I plan on saying to the groundskeeper who lives on the floor below me when I return home tonight, because I need to get back into my room. After closing the door and fishing through my pockets, I realized belatedly that I left the stupid key on the desk inside.
But at least I had my laptop and everything I needed for a day on my back, and so I carried on with my original plan, which was to find a nook or a cranny or something somewhere in Shenzhen and try to catch up to Amber’s 7,000-ish words. We’re trying to do NaNoWriMo again, albeit an unofficial one of course that started on March 8th and will end in 25 days. I’m at 4,400 words, so I have some catching up to do.
I’ve settled on a plot idea that has been turning over in my head for a few months now, and I’m trying to go with it as best I can. I’ve only shared it in its entirety with Kamolika, who asked, and I think she’s amused at “how much like Andrew” the main character is. Yes, a flaw. I have some other ideas for other plots that don’t seem to plagiarize from my life nearly as much as this one does, but whatever, I’m going with it. If I want a draft in 30 days, I have to just cover my ears and run!
Oh, this isn’t the first time that this key thing has happened, so I’m not too worried. I’m sure I’ll be fine tonight. Otherwise, Hunter’s getting a phone call and his couch is getting a visitor for the night.
