And Bartles and James used to say, "Thank you for your support."

Is anyone else struggling to write? I'd say it's the winter doldrums, but since it's the warmest January on record (Denver's totally hogging all the snow) I really don't have much to complain about. (Except for, you know, the whole global warming thing.)

That said, I'm working on a few new stories. One is about my first modeling job (I was having such a good time until the editor shouted out "Stay tight on her face so we don't see her body") and the other is about trying to get knocked up. That one's more of a struggle, not because I feel particularly sensitive about it (unless you catch me on the wrong night) but because I'm not sure which direction it should go. Here's the thing about trying to get knocked up - it's really not that easy once your past your twenties. From what I understand (and correct me if I'm wrong) there's really only a 3 to 5 day window of opportunity, contrary to what we all learned in sex-ed. (In middle school, the poor woman who taught "Health" would get so nervous discussing anything related to human sexuality that one day she twisted her pearls so tight she broke her necklace. This is the same woman who told us repeatedly that "sperm could swim" without bothering to explain the details. I spent the summer convinced that I'd get pregnant in the tub.) Honestly, if I'd actually taken the time to learn how babies are made (aside from "put the thing in the thing"), I never would have stayed on the Pill for so long.

I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one who's thought about this. There are tons of articles dedicated to not getting pregnant (20's) and being too old to get pregnant (40's), but nothing about your 30's. So here's my question: Is this a topic worth pursuing? If not, why? (So I can stop wasting my time.) If yes, why? (So I know what people want to read about.)

On a side note, HOLY CRAP, IT'S SNOWING!
