I’ve never been so happy to feel like crap

This morning I threw up into the waste disposal unit. And then I smiled.
I’d been worried since my tummy bug cleared up and I wasn’t feeling so rotten, but now it’s all on, full force, and I couldn’t be happier. The worse I feel, the better I feel, and while I know there isn’t necessarily [...]

Ug, maybe I can’t do it

NaNoWriMo that is. I’ve totally fallen off the wagon, writing only one day in the last week! Everything is messy here, everyone has been sick and I’m so tired, most of the weekend was spent out of the house and there just seems to be no time at all.
Or rather, when the baby sleeps, there [...]

Re-envisioning

I had a creative writing lecturer who was adamant that the second draft of a story be pretty much completely different. Revision, he said, was another way to say ‘re-envision’ which meant you pulled out the core elements of the story, twisted them up and plopped them down on the page again. In his mind, [...]

Ops I did it again…

Well, for those of you who haven’t heard it before now – I’m having another baby!
Totally out of the blue, unplanned, accidental, was totally not expecting it, but I’m very happy and hubby is slowly getting over the shock of it.
I did suspect something was up when I went off coffee, but… well, there are [...]

90K

Well, 90.2K, but I normally only like to report to the rounded figures lol. I ended the scene and decided to just leave it where it is for the night, am exhausted still, and think that I should have another decent nights sleep all going well.
The story is moving on, I now have *counts* six [...]

Sleeping like a log (that wakes up twice)

But seriously, even waking up twice is some kind of blessing. I feel fresh today. Revitalized. Alive! lol and, somehow ‘different’. I haven’t managed to pin point what that is exactly… but I feel distinctly different. And maybe it’s just because I had a decent nights sleep for the first time in ages, but I [...]

Two days in…

So, coming to the end of my second day of ‘pre labour’ I’m tired, lol and starting to get a little over it. I’d like for these contractions to either go away and come back when they are ready to progress into actual labour, or hurry up already and become real labour now!
I know that [...]
