So far National Novel Writing Month has been a bust. This pregnancy is kicking my butt. Seriously. Once I get home from work and get the child to sleep all I can muster the energy to do is collapse on the couch and watch television. And there have definitely been nights I've gone to sleep by 9 p.m. (okay sometimes 8:30...)
I really don't remember being this tired and achy with my first baby, though I suspect having a two year old to chase after and a hubby out of work may be contributing factors. I've had a rough couple of days this week (physically) and now am so far behind on the novel writing that I'm not sure it's worth trying to start. Sigh. Yet another goal abandoned.
There is just too much I want to do in a day and only so many hours (and so much energy) to accomplish it. If only I didn't have to sleep...
I'm not pregnant and haven't been for seven years, but I'm often in bed asleep by 9. If I could get there by 8:30, I so would. Just keep chuckin' along. Don't abandon your goal, just postpone it for a while.
ReplyDeleteI,m not pregnant and have not been so for 63 years and have not written my novel either. Once Darcy makes her debut and a little more time has past, you will find time to renew you novel goal. National Novel Writing Month will be waiting next year and the ones after.
