Mama Writer, Week Eight
Still a mother.
Still a writer.
This week, I:
*hit the 100K mark on the novel
*hated my novel
*had my first solo day at home with baby, after waving my honey off to work after his extended cocktail of not-paternity-but-everything-else-leave
*had my second and third of the above.
*changed a lot of nappies
*fell in love with my novel again
*spent a lot of time writing while joggling lovely baby rocker with foot (kicky music helps with this supermama skill)
*learned that when I go to the shops I DO have to use baby pouch or stroller even if just nipping in for a few things. Cos baby is now HEAVY.
*did some other things, which I would remember now but can't, cos brain is all foggy
*zzzz
*finished major (hopefully last) copyedit for Cafe La Femme, that rather long-awaited chicklit crime novel of mine.
*read and reviewed lotsa short stories for LSS.
*read a lot of Gossip Girl books
I would type more but my baby is trying to chew her way into my bra which I am taking as a major hint.
