Yesterday, I posted about my writing journey. I wrote about my sad lack of time-management skills and my inability to write when I had children underfoot during the day.
If you are a mom and have a desire to write, I do not want to discourage you! In fact, quite the opposite. Many moms have found ways to juggle the tasks of mothering and writing much more successfully than me. I want to point you in their direction.
Yesterday, Mary DeMuth (Christian author and mom with six published books) interviewed another author, Marlo Schalesky on her blog. These women are both GREAT examples of moms who write. Don’t miss this interview, because it’s full of great suggestions.
Another writing mom is Christian author, Tricia Goyer (eighteen books!). She is currently running a series on her blog that she calls, “Mommying and Writing.” She started writing as a single mom with very young kids. You must check out her story. The posts started last Tuesday, so scroll back a few posts and start at the beginning to catch the whole series. So far, she has included suggestions regarding schedules, chores and goal-setting.
So, don’t let my story put you off from writing if you have small children underfoot. I wish I had this advice when my children were small and maybe I wouldn’t have waited so long. Or, perhaps that’s just what God had in mind for me. I’m not sure. But check out these great blogs and be inspired!
