Well, I am.

I am fast realizing that it is difficult to write a full-length novel with two kids, one preschooler and another a baby!

Don't blame me if I end up stopping at 25,000 or something. :P

Jolantru,
who needs her sanity back

My sympathies. I can't imagine how you cope with two.

Just one is making me speculate about voice-recognition software, but the manuscript may come out like this:

"The building that housed the party was WAAAHWAAH oh whosacrazybaby then? Crazy baby! Fly! Fly! ARGH, LET GO OF MY FINGERS WITH YOUR TALONS an anomaly down on Level 1 where ARGH OMNIPUKE ASSAULT!.

And so on.

Voice-recognition software sounds like a good idea...

Jolantru,
waving the white flag for tonight

i must say Jolantru you are doing well on word count for someone with 2 kids - i have only 1 - kindergartner but we live in Switzerland so school is only 3.5 days for 1st year kindi - we are both under the weather to boot and i have lots of other stuff going on in Nov - it does not rain, it pours!
Just keep writing - that's what i tell myself - so keep at it!

Oh dear, please take care! I know how bad it can get when the whole household is sick. :P

It not only pours, it floods!

Well, I end up having 1am write-throughs, combining my daughter's nightly feeds with midnight oil burning sessions. :P

Hehe.
Jolantru
