So I've really been finding it harder to write still, though I'm no longer depressed.  Yay!  It's just that my romance novel, which was supposed to be light and fluffy, has been more like a hidden personal journal for me.  Issues I didn't know I had, things that are glaringly obvious to my main female character, are popping up left right and center, and so of course I have to slow down, stop writing, and figure out what I really need to learn from whatever issue is being raised up, and then figure out how my MC is going to deal with it without having to go through my heart ache, lol.   This is a romance, after all, so she does get her love in the end.

It's incredibly theraputic, but not necessarily all that good for my daily word count, or even finishing this strange novel by the end of november.  And it hasn't been helping my sleep schedule either.  I just can't stop thinking about whatever has reared it's ugly (or not, as the case may be) head from my psyche, and think it through, usually at around 1 am when I should be sound asleep.  Thbbpt.  (the sound blowing a raspberry makes, lol)

My girls are doing good, though my eldest has a memory like a sieve (just like her mommy!).  We wrote a reminder on her hand (after she insisted on doing it first on her arm), but it did no good.  I told her we should stamp it across her forehead; she said, 'good idea mommy!', then paused and added, 'but how will I read it?'  I love her so much, lol.
