So... life and all that

So much for the weekly entries I resolved to make while I was in Coogee. I returned from conference full of motivation and enthusiasm and a plan. Well, you know how that can be. In the early hours of the day after my return, the daughter, at 33 weeks pregnant was carted off to hospital. Her water broke creating anxiety all round.

However, at 34 weeks 5 days, the baby is still firmly encsconced in utero and life seems to be settling again, albeit temporarily, to a fractured normal. When I'm not at work, I spend a lot of time with her, or taking her for hospital appointments when her lovely partner has to work.

I'm still motivated, just tired. LOL. I'm clawing my way back though and will keep working on it.

It's been a while

It has, indeed, been a while. Things went backwards, resulting in a major meltdown and depression diagnosis. On the upside, my not coping, not being able to manage, and more, has a name and a treatment.

It has been a couple of months, so far, but I'm getting there. As I write this, I am in a hotel room in Coogee, Sydney, at the Romance Writers of Australia conference. I feel like I've come home. Surrounded by writerly friends, many of whom have been concerned for me, and the air full of creativity, I'm feeling motivated and positive. Now to translate that into action.
