It’s true what they say – the second baby is easier. Not easy, exactly, but easier. The fact is, I’m just better at it. I’m used to being up at all hours of the night, and am well aware that babies cry, they just do. In short, I am a lot calmer, and I think he’s picking up the vibe from me. As I type, he is slumbering peacefully on my tummy, in a sling my neighbor loaned me (thanks Elisa!). It is totally possible to take care of an infant and do a little writing. Not a lot of writing, but a little.
And that is why I’m so excited about what I have in store for you all on Friday. Sage Cohen, author of the newly released “The Productive Writer” (who also happens to be a mother), will be doing a guest post about how to get our sh*t together and get organized as writers. Whether you’re a parent or not, setting goals for your writing, and having a plan on how to reach them is vital.
What’s even more exciting is that Sage has agreed to give away a brand spanking new copy of her book to one lucky reader. So come back on Friday, bring any questions you have about organizing your writing life, and leave a comment for your chance to win.
Lastly, I will be wrapping up my “parents who write” series next week with a guest post from one of my favorite writers – Janet Fitch, author of “White Oleander” and “Paint It Black.” Tune in Monday for some serious mom/writer wisdom.
Who loves ya?
