It's so true that it's great to have this community here.  Nobody else gets it.  My husband sort of does because he saw me and was fabulous enough to let me slave him around so I could do my thing.  But today everyone was asking, "Fun little day of writing yesterday?" and I wanted to throw up.  It's so weird- you can't get it until you've been in it.  

But, dozens of characters who didn't used to exist are now alive and well (or in the case of my character, not so well), but we made them and they're our babies and we can be proud that we did that.  

But man- I need a weekend from my weekend for sure.  Work tomorrow?  What??

Bowled over! 


Agreed, and for everyone. Really humbling, since all I did was lock myself in my office all day and took one phone call from work that I was able to pawn off immediately onto someone else. You guys are rockstars.

Ah Trey, so sorry. You'll be a fabulous Daddy xx

It's really great to have this forum and community, and SOLIDARITY, because I've tried talking to friends and family, and husband, about what yesterday felt like, how completely mentally draining and unbelievably difficult it was - and NO ONE gets it. Today I have a really accomplished feeling. Haven't reread the story yet, maybe night. But feeling pretty good, all things considered.


I TOTALLY get that!

I am a single Mum and my 18 year old fed me black coffee last night as I struggled to stay awake until 5am and am hoping despite the 4 minute late upload that they will accept it. I did get a confirmation email and sent a back up, but at the time had no idea what I bloody submitted!!

Great community of folk here who have helped me grow so much since I started writing in January and as I have said in another post, I couldn't have done this without you as I have only got here because of you all: Standing on the shoulders of giants!

The beef bourgignon I threw into the slow cooker yesterday is still there and will be delicious for tea tonight!

Ooooooh has anyone else got the most MASSIVE headache today?! Crazy intensity or what?!
