New years whatnots
We all do it, don’t we. Set resolutions, once the new year rolls in. I thought about mine for a while. For some reason I feel compelled to share my resolutions on my blog, in a way of etching them into stone and maybe gain encouragement and support from people who care to do that. […]
I won!
I did it! I won! I’m so excited – and I actually had *real tears* as I typed my ‘final’ words (final for Nano, perhaps, but my story is not nearly finished!). I have typed over 50, 200 words this month. I am so happy. It was even worth the burnt Christmas cake. :D
A little mishap…
Last night I decided to bake some Christmas nut cakes. Or, rather, nutty Christmas cakes. And I also decided to try to write 4000 words in under 2 hours. And then, this happened: Turns out I am quite the nut! I remembered about these beauties at 3:00am. Only 6 hours too late. What a waste! […]

10 days to go
Ahhhh… the final days of this pregnancy are here. And I will admit that I am counting down, now that we have a date. The induction date is booked for 37+ weeks. I am being induced because of my antibodies; once the baby is mature it can be delivered and thus avoid potential problems due […]
