Tessa – I just stumbled across your blog. As a mom of two preschooler boys (3 and 2) AND A TEENAGER girl (just turned 13), I feel your pain.

I didn’t do NaNo this year because it’s too much time and I needed to complete the novel I’m half done with.

I was luckily able to quit my job when we adopted the two boys just on 2 years ago (Jan 2005). It’s been an adjustment, but I love writing and have seen my output increase significantly (along with the dust bunnies, but that’s another story!)

Good luck again!
Pam

Good luck!

It may be a scary step to take, but it will be so fulfilling in the long run. Yay for you! Stay the course. We'll be pestering you for ARCs before you know it. So very exciting and terrifying, Tessa!

I applaud your decision. Hey, I moved to China so I would have more time to write--that's even more extreme. NaNo will be crazy, but it's so great that we have other FanLitters to share it with us. <br/><br/>Lenora<br/><br/>p.s. I love your pseudonym! As someone else commented, it sounds like an intrepid girl reporter from the Forties. I'm picturing Gwyneth Paltrow in Sky Captain. I bet your hair would look lovely in a Veronica Lake peek-a-boo bang style. Could be a good look for your meeting with Avon... Good move, Tessa. I applaud your decision.

Time for our shopping spree! Oh, right, the job... Hmmm. Can't really say too much about that. The one full-time job I had - working in a children's bookstore - fired me after less than two weeks for undisclosed reasons. I still maintain that I was over-qualified, and they feared a coup d'etat! Yay! Time for our shopping spree! Oh, right, the job… Hmmm. Can’t really say too much about that.
