Someone is talking about endometriosis

Someone is talking about endometriosis published on No Comments on Someone is talking about endometriosis

It’s been almost ten years since I was handed my diagnosis of endometriosis.  It felt fake and half hearted, a ‘your symptoms match, regardless of anomalies, so here you go’ type of right-off after years, and many different doctors, worth of investigation.  The solutions to living with it were even less acceptable in my view, but I went along with them for a while until it came time to go back to the doctor to renew my prescription.  It’s something I live with; something my husband lives with along side of me.  It is something that only women who know the other has it too ever talk about.

That warm kind of connection, the ‘you know about this too,’ is what I felt when writers on the Conversation started posting about it:

If I haven’t meantioned the Conversation before, then I have been lax.  It is a group blog of academics commenting on current events and it is quickly replacing my news and popular culture consumption.

“November 1-30. The world needs your novel.”  — National Novel Writing Month

If you know me, you know I am a big sucker for NaNoWriMo.  And that I often don’t finish and have taken myself out of the running for a little while in order to work on started but not finished novels.  This doesn’t mean that NaNoWriMo is no longer a big part of my November thinking.  To the contrary.  Though I won’t be urging you to join me on the NaNoWriMo, I am urging you to find the novel deep within that you never really believed you could write.  Find it, and believe me, You Can Write It!  Whether you sign up for NaNoWriMo or not, write with me this fall.  I want to read your story.

Pinterest is like a crazy breeding ground of non attributed images online.  It’s taking over Google image results.

It gives good posters.

So, it is the month for Inktober, and also (I just found out) Drawlloween.

Inktober is a pen and ink picture a day for a month challenge.  I have done Inktober before, I’ve even Halloween themed it.  Since I usually draw for pen and ink, it suits my style.

Drawlloween has no such conditions on how you draw, but does tell you what to draw.

I’m a little behind in scanning and posting, but I have been drawing.  I will be posting catch-ups today…follow the posts with the tag #DRAWLLOWEEN.
