: About Me

I am a 30 year old female, married with 2 boys. I am very much a family orientated person and have had my share of up's and down's in life. I also was a carer at one point caring for my disabled child aged 3, who recently passed away.

My writing has only just begun only because I find it difficult to talk about my feelings and the only thing that helped me pull through the grief of losing my young son was due to writing. I can express my feelings better and have the comfort of relieving my anxieties this way.

I try to read as much as I can and also have subscribed to a few writers magazines which give me the extra nudge. Often as times I find it difficult to write, even though I have really good ideas in my head, but as soon as I sit down to write my mind goes blank and then end up writing a lot less then I would have liked.

I would like to be a good writer. I hope that raters/critics can give me any feedback they believe is owed to my writing. I would really like to know what people think.

5 of 9

By going on my own experience I believe that the sex of the baby should be left right at the end. When it is born, you can see and cuddle it and actually take it the whole experience. I had two boys of which I didn't know the sex and was really happy about the outcome. I ended up buying a lot of neutral colours but then as soon as they were born we received many beautiful colour coded clothes from family and friends. I feel we are abusing the modern technology to our own advantage. Many years ago there weren't such things as scanners and video images of the unborn babies. Now we can monito...
