Pregnancies and writing
It typically takes (over) nine months to fully develop a child in the womb, and for most women its HELL. The more nourishment and care you give it, the more likely it’s odds to thrive once its out. So you feed it well, steer clear of anything harmful, get plenty of rest and exercise. You love its bumps and track…
All the weirdness that comes with the last couple months before releasing a novel.
Talk about emotional.
