Yesterday I had my critique meeting followed by our first Birth Class. I napped during the short time in between, resulting in my getting no writing done yesterday. That means double writing duty today, and just the knowledge that I have to do twice is much is holding me back. I just want to lie down. My house is a mess and there's no hope of me cleaning it. Martha Stewart is on TV and suddenly it's the most fascinating thing I've ever seen. But, if I don't stay on top of this book, the baby will show up first and there will be no chance of my finishing it. So why am I writing on my blog instead of writing on my book? Back to work!

I'm not making any New Year's resolutions this year. Just the fact that I have a book and a baby due in March is enough. I just want to make it through. Hopefully, I'll adjust to being a mother before the year is out so I can continue with my writing career, but I just don't know what to expect.

My husband wants me to attend this year's RWA conference. The fact that it will be held locally should go a long way toward making that possible. Yet, I still don't know what state of juggling baby and life I'll be in 4 months after his birth.

This should prove to be an interest, life changing year. I'm looking forward to it.
