Related: About this forumOne week from today I have a book with MY name on it...
First copy goes to my mom, so she can put it in the kitchen where my dad, who told me that I was wasting my time and my writing would never amount to anything, can see he was wrong.
Petty? Hell yes.

Nothing tells dad to go fuck himself better than accomplishing something he told you you weren't capable of!
Congratulations!
Next he'll be saying; "You didn't write that!"
A motivator in error.
Congrats on your achievement, btw! Gives hope to this adult underachiever right here.
