Welcome! What we usually do is trade chapters or chunks of stories. We try to get a chapter done a week but we’ve all been a bit distracted lately and getting back into things. What genre do you write?

Nothing done this week except some writing. But I bought a new car. Love the car, don’t love the prices of cars right now.

Baby is doing good! She finally chunked up and looking so squishy! But man does she not like sleeping. 
we are loving her, but naps are hard, poor girl. At least she doesnt scream all day and is usually still smiley, even while sleep deprived.

Hi Tori,
Im Brittani. Im the one who started all of this. Its been messy as of late, due to me having a baby and then getting a chronic illness, and things are finally starting to settle. In a perfect world, assignment posts come out on Sunday and are supposed to be completed by the next Sunday.
Can you please fill out the form linked in the first post. That way I have all the info i need to add you to the assignment. 
Sounds like what you have is very similar to my Ulcerative Colitis but with your stomach. I think thats IBD 
(theres so many illnesses that are the exact same but just for different body parts) but what you are explaining sounds JUST LIKE ME except add in 
problems. 
I couldnt take care of my kids or get off the couch except for rushing to the bathroom for 6 weeks! SIX WEEKS! 
I misses 6 weeka with my at the time 1 week old and 3 year old. I missed that time with my parents meeting my baby and my in laws meeting my baby. I missed so much. okay now im bawling and 7am is just too early for these kinds of feelings.
I hope you get answers soon and I hope you dont have anything like what I have!
good to hear. my older one wasn’t a sleeper either. it was hard. he didn’t sleep through the night until he was 3

I do a rough outline at first, the middle and the end, then I left the in between open to change and creativity.
For example, in my second book, I got the main part of the start, the first conflict that would led to the peak of the book, the peak and then the end. So about four events I need to get there and knit the story in between.
When I’m in it though, I tried to plan ahead the next chapter to see where I need to go. Sometimes I let it soak for a couple days, even weeks to think about the story. I have amazing breakthrough and ideas while in the shower or doing the dishes

Aw, I’m so sorry you missed all of this

I will ask for all the tests possible, and I won’t rule your diagnostic either. If they still don’t find what the hell is going on, I envisage looking for a gastrectomy, in all seriousness. I’m having those aches for 20 freaking years, and it’s only getting worse. I’m getting fed up!

Oh man! Im sorry to hear that thats rough! Hallie will sometimes sleep through the night and sometimes shes up every 1.5 hours. Weve gone back and forth between bed sharing and her sleeping in her bassinet. Last night both kids gave me a big middle finger though. 
i was trying to take a nice bath since im getting sick again. Ugh 
i got to spend 5 minutes in the tub before my toddler needed me, and when I got back my newborn started screaming. By the time I was done with her the water was cold. I drained the tub and got ready for bed, and then she woke up again and continued that routine of up every hour even though we went to bed sharing. so much for getting extra rest to get better haha.

Have you tried adding some anti inflammation foods? That helps me with the pains. Id definatly look into it. Youd be shocked how many people have issues like this. My friend has SIBO and IBS. Maybe do some research on those. She had to get a colonoscopy to get diagnosed, but her pain is in her stomach. Its crazy because I can eat so clean and still have so many issues. im so lucky we got answers so soon! But i honestly want my new GI to look into it further because she is so much better/smarter than the first GI I saw.
thank you!!!
I want to join!

Except the man behind her partner’s death, returns, and with him, mutants, victims that have been genetically altered. Now she has to race to stop him while figuring out the truth behind her partners death.

Yes anti -inflamity foods for the win! Had this when I had cystitis also castor oil packs… I was a skeptic and I swear by them now, in addition to a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet. Pro and prebiotics are a must, so many issues are due to an imbalanced gut. Still have issues but trying to give myself grace and choose to not be stressed about the challenges of life. Which is a challenge in itself lol. Hope you get some rest there with Hallie! Wishing you some answers and to feel better soon!!! <3
Ohh cool! Send it over when you have time you should be able to see my email. If not I can send. As we mentioned group is a little behind with life events but will try my best to get back in the swing of things.

Also, I really need to rename some of my books. The titles are painfully basic. Instead of SIren’s Lullaby, I was thinking of
The Salt Saint or
The Drowned Saint
(adding in some culty townsfolk that worship the siren, etc)
Let me know what you guys think sounds better please!!
