i love the internet.

i've been going through a bit of creative block, probably brought on by the events of the past few weeks, but also because i realised that i had no idea what actually giving birth would be like.

um, it's for my novel. it's fairly important. i think.

so anyway, typed birth into google and lots of links came up, but i've been reading some of the complication stories on this one.

i don't think i'm quite ready to write the birthing scene yet.

and anyway, the only thing currently floating around my head is the giant story (you listening noodle??? that's the illustratory one) i think because it's quite sober, and about love and death that it's enjoying the kind of sombre tone space in my head. i started writing it, but it really needs a bit more planning than a normal story, because of the illustrations and writing a story to fit the page length. maybe i'll just write it.
