I won't tell you what I was doing at the time though.
OK, yes I will. I was checking my cervix. That's right folks. I had an epiphany this morning whilst checking my cervix! I couldn't have had it while studying a cloud that looked like a running horse or a cup of coffee or anything, no siree. That's just not my style. Anyway! The epiphany!! I love to tell stories, you all know that, and I like ot look at things from a slightly different angle a lot of the time. I also love to write. I'm thinking about writing a book about TTC and infertility. My, as yet, unfinished journey. I thought about blogging, but I'd much rather do it slightly differently. Plus, I have the time on my hands to give it a whirl. So, if I wrote something, would you be curious enough to pick it up? No, that's not what I'm trying to say. Does my style interest you enough to be curious? Do you think I've got what it takes to put a story together that people would want to read? Someone...? Anyone...? ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

| do you mean you would write it from a sort of Kaz Cooke, Ben Elton type of style? If so with your wit etc.. then yep i reckon it would be really good. Not sure i would read it if it was a technical, basic story though to be honest. oh and leave your cervix alone, its not going anywhere! |

Yep I would. Partly out of curiosity, partly to know how to support someone who is there, and maybe even to give to a friend who is there. Anyway I really do like your writing/story-telling style  -------------  |

I reckon your book would be awesome! I agree with the Kaz Cooke frame, though you aren't as cynical as her so would attract an even larger audience. I always laugh out loud to your stories.
Do it, do it!!!! -------------

WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA!!! I would absolutely buy your book. I'm always at the library looking for inspiration about baby making - what to do/what not to do/how to do it/when to do it!!! I got out Kaz Cookes book but because I'm not ACTUALLY preggers yet, found it depressing to read. I know my day will come but in the meantime other peoples experiences and thoughts are fab. BRING IT ON!!!
Has anyone read "Minus Nine To One" by Jules Oliver (Jamie Oliver - the naked chef's wife)????? I got it for Xmas and found it a really enjoyable read. I'm excited at the thought Ginger!!! |

I haven't read it no, Salifer. What is it about? Obviously something to do with babies but what is the general gist? ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

You've got a fantastic writing voice Ginger, I think it'd be a great read and a fantastic support for women TTC.

Would love to read what you wright......I havn't been on here for long but the stories that I have read have just had me in stiches.
Probably not a good idea to try and do both tasks at the same time ..... unless you into things like twister! ------------- Kerryn, Mum to Ashlyn(29/3/04), Anastasia(1/11/05) & Abigail (24/02/09) |
