The last time I wrote a blog post was in February. Meaning the last time you heard from me I was still very pregnant. Well I am four months postpartum and finally building the patience to read and most importantly write again!
For some reason for the entire duration of my pregnancy (and a bit after I gave birth understandably) I was unable to focus on anything, let alone had the desire to read or write! Too much brain power was needed to focus. So if I attempted to read, I would be brain dead with everything else. In a somewhat related note: just in case you are wondering, your kitchen cabinetry will not heat up your pop tarts, no matter how long you leave them in there. The sad part is that I did this on more than one occasion.
Going from reading 25+ books a year to a big fat zero was depressing.
Today I just finished reading Matched by Ally Condie. That was the first book I read in the past 12 months! I've got a lot of catching up to do!
I just polished the first chapter of my YA SciFi novel and I have to say that I am very impressed with my work. I've never been a cocky person but there were a few times in the first chapter that I actually thought to myself, "Holy cow did I write that? Cause that was awesome!" Now I know why some people say write it than forget it for a while, because when you go back to edit it will be like reading something new.
Also, I would like to introduce my new inspiration for writing:
