The base of my pun for my blog title is actively true. There is a bun in the oven! I'm 16 weeks pregnant. The baby is due May 18th.
It has slowed down my writing clip. NaNo became a 5,000 word month rather than a 50,000 word one. But, it also gives me some motivation to wrap up my novel before the kid shows up. Last weekend was the first time that I had the mental energy to write since early October. It's been tough.
My WiP is about 30,000 words done. My goal is to have it 100% complete before the baby comes. I'm a slow first drafter, which is very blocky and the revisions is where I really start to add words at a decent clip. So, I'm feeling pretty good about that goal.
I'm not sure how much I'll be able to write with a newborn.
For any of you writing Moms out there, how long after giving birth until you were back to a writing habit?
