If you have a personal story about birth and pain that you’d like to share, will you contact me? I’m writing an article about whether or not birth is as bad as all the horror stories you hear. I’m interviewing a very smart, very understanding, very empowering mama (and by the way, go get her zine!), a doula here in town, and the author of Pregnancy Stories. I need one or two other women who can comment. Especially helpful is if you were at all freaked about birth before you had one and have had a change of heart since then.

My Quiver-full Convicted story is up at The New Homemaker. This is the story that Salon said, “Oh yes, oh my, we want it, absolutely!!!!” And then I wrote and then they never wrote back. So I rewrote it and they still never wrote back. The version at Lynn’s site is the nicer one.

I’m playing around with Moveable Type right now. I wanted to use Greymatter but I can’t get some of the sites that use it to load right and didn’t want to invite that nightmare into my own. If I end up using Moveable Type, then I’ll have to move my blog to a domain that I don’t use right now. It was for the book that never happened. I don’t really want to learn new software but I need to have links that will work once they move to archives (the ones I johnny-rigged here won’t) and also I’m starting to (reluctantly) see the value of comments.
