Everything's going good... except for the fact that I can't sleep on my side and have to sleep on my back, have morning sickness, etc. >.< I'd be looking for a reviewer... if I could actually finish my writings. The problem is, I get a little bit into an idea, whether it be an epic space battle or noire mystery or horror story and it just falls ''flat. I have probably scrapped thousands'' of ideas that I would've taken a year or two ago simply because I'm so irritably trying to avoid ripping someone off or stealing ideas that I write myself into a corner or reject the idea simply because it's been done. Then there's those ideas where I say 'I'll just do it better.' Yeah, that totes happened. (It didn't.)

It's good you've gotten something of a hit with your story's e-publish - Congrats~. I've thought about doing that myself. Might be my americanism talking, but from what that last paragraph reads, you're going to college to go to college? :P Lol. That's nice, though. Good luck! :3

Yeah, wish I knew some tips for making things more comfortable for pregnant women but that's a field I don't have much knowledge in. As for abandoning ideas, what tends to help me is writing through it and coming back to fix it up later. If it doesn't work, the idea can be scrapped, but sometimes you come up with a twist or method of description that sells the plot at a later time and it's convenient to have a jumping off point.

As for the e-publishing thing, there're better routes than Kindle, but it is nice that the story is readily available on e-readers and I can put it on CVs now that I'm a (self) published author. As for going to college to go to college, yeah, that's exactly how it sounds. Unfortunately you got to jump through a lot of hoops to be considered for a Vet. Med. Program and it feels like they're trying to weed me out again by making me take a bunch of higher-level courses before applying, but it is what it is.
