Being Held Accountable

I cheated.
I lied.
I failed myself.
I failed my friends.

No, it wasn’t on my husband. It was on NaNoWriMo. I cheated. Big time.
I got called on it. I fixed it. But, I think I hurt some friendships with that. There is nothing I can do to fix those, but to apologize and fix what I’ve done wrong.

This is my major apology. I’m on my knees, begging forgiveness. I hate myself for what I did. Kori and Kristi, I’m very much glad that you two live in California and nowhere near Kansas. You two started NaNo because of me, and god, look how I fucked up. I am so sorry. Thank you BOTH for calling me out on it. There are no excuses for it.

I can only hope that I didn’t fuck things up so badly that you two never want to talk to me again. Thankfully, it seems Kori has semi-forgiven me enough to talk to me. I am so glad to count her as a friend. Her calling me out on this issue is the best thing that could have happened.

Oh, and how did I cheat?
“Your self”
“My self”
“Can not”

Etc.

All fixed. No more. No more cheating. I am done.
Now to write more. I lost nearly 1K in words fixing those errors.

      I had to keep myself from crying as I wrote it, and as I’m texting you, and replying on Twitter. I hate that I did it, but I at least owned up to it.

      *hugs*

    I’m glad you did this. I didn’t really like it, but I felt the only one you were cheating was you, especially once you got up there with your numbers. *hugz* It’s hard to admit you’re wrong and I’m proud of you for doing it.

      And I was cheating more than myself. I was cheating those that were cheering me on, and cheering for hitting high word counts. They didn’t deserve that (you included).
