I find it inspiring to see women such as yourself balancing motherhood with all the other things that make them the person they are. As someone who's yet to have a child I feel unexcited about the prospect when I see friends around me becoming totally consumed in motherhood and then frustrated that they've lost the things in their lives that made them passionate, inspired and interested! It must be tough at times, but thanks for showing that it's achievable!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194608031353269799.post-75940342976536285352008-04-07T00:14:00.000-07:002008-04-07T00:14:00.000-07:00"Slut-wool"?

Also I posted your blogspot details on the PhD Discussion Board to encourage some more critical friends for you. I hope you don't mind... but I wouldn't hold my breathe for regular comments based upon recent experience with us slackers.<BR/><BR/>Ciao, Carol-AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194608031353269799.post-40955590309677228672008-03-05T15:56:00.000-08:002008-03-05T15:56:00.000-08:00I'm looking forward to reading what happens next.....I'm looking forward to reading what happens next... I agree a weekly deadline and waiting readers helps to keep you motivated, plus you get feedback which helps to shape it.

About the 'slut-wool', a famous UK satirist Quentin Crisp refused to dust or vacuum saying that after a certain period of time it was impossible to identify how old the dust was... and while this is somewhat excessive I know just how the housework can be a great excuse to leave the writing... just for a while (to be a good mother)! What crap. Write on grrl. I hope Toby sleeps well. Run him ragged in the AM. Ciao, Carol-Annecac08https://www.blogger.com/profile/04407109517075725534noreply@blogger.com
