Kicking into gear
NS June 25th, 2008
As the kicks within me grow stronger, so does my urge to get things done. Many would call this ‘nesting’ but I prefer to call it GRABBING MY TO-DO LIST BY THE NUTS. I need curtains on my windows, things on the walls, crevices cleaned, closets organised, shelves rearranged, things taken down from the loft and others put away, the creaky kitchen door fixed, a trip to the dentist finally made, a birth plan drawn up, birth supplies procured, world peace and a partridge in a pear tree. Quite a lot, isn’t it?
A major bonus to this sudden overdrive of energy is that I’ve gotten my writing mojo back, it seems. I don’t want to jinx it but suffice it to say that I have some new things in the pipeline that I’ve very excited and confident about. After months of pretty much giving up on trying to do anything to jump-start my freelance career, I’m back with a vengeance and I have a plan. I won’t give up this time and my goal is to get something published (for actual money this time, NO MORE FREEBIES GODAMNIT!) before I pop. T-minus twelve weeks and counting…

It definitely sounds like nesting to me! Unfortunately my nesting never kicked in, which may be why my son was 15 days overdue, so here’s hoping yours comes on time!
Glad to hear you’re back with a vengeance. You deserve some paid work, you really have a way with words
