It seems to have crept up on me. I have a stinker of an assignment due in 3 days, two days really because I want to get it submitted tomorrow night. After that though, I’m going to stop stressing and enjoy myself. Various things have or haven’t happened in November. My novel got to 20k, …

NaNoing again
Surely it can’t be November 1st already? And yet somehow, it is… how crazy. I have started my novel with only a slight notion of what it is about. But – I’ve started, and that’s the main thing. 400 and something words typed while the small dude was having his morning porridge I feel so …
Wistfulness, and I like it
Funny, I realized recently that its been a little while since I last posted. Sometimes I have all these words that flow out of me, and then sometimes I can’t type words in order, the keys just aren’t my friends and I have to hunt and peck. Perhaps I’m getting very early onset dementia. Oh …
Realization
I feel like I’m moving closer and closer to clarity and understanding when it comes to a particular friendship. I say friendship… it is both so much more and so much less than that. Was so much more – and is now so much less, than friendship. Talking recently on the phone, he said he …
Is it just me or… is there a feeling of dread around here?
Seriously. Is it just me? Others I know personally seem to be having a similar time, but I don’t know… It’s hard to tell sometimes. I’m not talking about when you wake up in the middle of the night and your mind wanders uneasily. When you feel alone in the darkness, like the only person …
Baby, don't you try to find me, baby it will be alright
The early morning is my time. The few minutes before my one year old tumbling bundle of energy launches (metaphorically speaking, for now) out of his cot and into the day. I treasure this time to reflect, to prepare to the day, to think about my dreams. It’s better than being flung straight into the …
30 weeks
This was taken today, and I’m now 30 weeks pregnant. 30 weeks was always the point at which I promised myself I’d start panicking, because, well – 10 weeks to go. That sounds crazy to me But actually I feel fairly calm, and not much like panicking. When I watched the bizarre NCT DVD …
We’ll collect those lonely parts and set them down
Lately I feel that I miss the girl I used to be, now that I know for sure that I’ll never go back to being her again. I don’t even necessarily want to be her, just sometimes feel a little wistfulness for myself a year or so ago. I remember being into kitsch stuff and …
Secrets
Postsecret is good this week. I thought you all should know. And here’s one that could have been made by me, although it wasn’t:
October
It’s so beautiful here right now. The leaves are falling but there are still some clinging to the trees. I keep baking, cookies mainly. I’m going to do some iced ones soon and cover them in sprinkles… I can smell them in the oven which means they’re almost done. It’s getting colder and sometimes at …
