Hey, Miss J!

Still recovering from my editing binge. Took my required medication tonight… so there is that.

I’m starting to get frustrated with all the research I find myself having to do.

Medical techniques, medical equipment… medical terms.

Researching for locations and symptoms.

And now I’m trying to revise and tweak a birth scene! I honestly thought that it was fine as is… but the more I read, the more annoyed I get.

Looking at how the story is progressing… Oh my poor tiny mind. I’ve read more than enough about cervical mucus, pelvic floors, hormonal shifts and how everything feels engorged or full in areas.

AND safe/unsafe foods. SAFE/UNSAFE activities… ETC ETC ETCC.

… I’m realizing that I need to do even MORE research for the next chapter… because it goes into details that my brain cannot quite comprehend.

Man, I thought it was stressful trying to figure out how to properly insert a breathing tube to help someone who went into respiratory arrest.

Let’s not talk about the teeny details about strokes.

And seizures. I found out that there are seizures where the person isn’t shaking at all. They might be standing and then suddenly become extremely disoriented and unable to communicate. Been described as being underwater.

I found an article on something else thing… and stupidly didn’t bookmark it.

I see myself doing laundry and researching while waiting for my quilt to dry.

Even better though… this research doesn’t just help with NtC, but also C&R.

There’s lots and lots and lots more stuff for pregnancy related fanfics that I need to bookmark and shore up in my failing inborn memory banks.

No clue how to do correct emoji for rolling eyes.

I am determined to find that article again and then slap it right into the bookmarks folder.

If I had to, would I research how to do micro-surgery on someone’s heart for a story? I would certainly try to get as close to accurate as possible.

We are not talking about what I’ve had to study about lactation techniques. NO!
