Letting Go of Our Babymakin’ Fantasies

Dec. 7, 2011 by Keiko Zoll

Sorry to be such a downer recently, but I walked away from this blog for over a week and now that I'm back, I'm returning to it for the very reasons I started it in the first place: it's a place of catharsis for me. I'm struggling with the holidays this year. Part of it comes … Read More »

The Infertility Holiday Dash

Dec. 5, 2011 by Keiko Zoll

Folks, I am not a runner, let me just put that out there right now. And yet, it's that time of year where I need to throw on my pair of running shoes and lace them up tight, because we have a 64-day dash from Halloween to January 2nd. . . . Oh, hi. It's been, um, over a week. … Read More »

Reflections on Thanksgiving

Nov. 24, 2011 by Keiko Zoll

My stomach is fit to explode. A delicious Thanksgiving indeed at my in-laws. Right now, I'm sitting on the couch, in my wonderful, blissful post-Thanksgiving dinner afterglow. It's heavenly. . . . I have a lot to be thankful for. For all the griping about wishing that we could … Read More »

NaNoWriM-OMG I have to write how much per day?

Nov. 23, 2011 by Keiko Zoll

NaNoWriMo - I refuse to let you beat me. Cranked 17,000 words today. Outlined the rest of the plot and scenes I want/need to write before next Wednesday. Next Wednesday - holy crap, this deadline is coming up fast. I'm aiming to write another 5,000 words before midnight … Read More »

Welcome to November’s ICLW!

Nov. 21, 2011 by Keiko Zoll

It's been a while since I participated in an ICLW, so I figured it was time to jump back in. (Don't know what ICLW is? Find out here.) Not like I'm already doing NaBloPoMo and NaNoWriMo at the same time or anything this month. I also realized I've picked up more new readers in … Read More »

Places My Cats Do Not Belong

Nov. 20, 2011 by Keiko Zoll

1. In my drawer. Like really Saba? How the hell did you get in there? 2. In my bathtub. This has been a recent new thing of theirs. They just... run into the bathroom and start playing in the tub. Like ya do. They are also fascinated by the shower. 3. On my freakin' picture … Read More »

The Dog Days Are Over

Nov. 19, 2011 by Keiko Zoll

I looked at the time on my cell phone; it was 4:50pm. I did one last double check that my files had transferred to my flash drive, and shut down my computer. I realized I still had my personal mouse hooked up to the computer, so I wrapped it up and threw it in the big blue … Read More »

The Stigma of Infertility

Nov. 18, 2011 by Keiko Zoll

This morning I came across this article by Lorie Parch on Conceive Online: Is there a stigma attached to infertility? Here's an excerpt: Probably most TTC women – maybe all – have had awkward moments with a friend, family member, coworker, or neighbor who simply didn’t know what … Read More »

NaNoWriMo or Bust

Nov. 17, 2011 by Keiko Zoll

Remember when I crossed the 10,000 word mark for NaNoWriMo? Early last week? And then how I kind of stopped writing? My friend Honeybee called me out and said: "Girl, you need to write." And she's right. I set a goal for myself: 50,000 words or bust. And then I decided, why not … Read More »
