Love this essay/article by @katie_gutz "Writing During Naptime, a Parent's Practice," which is really about how #motherhood makes us better #writers & also, the precarious time between wakefulness & #sleep & #creativity. Shout out to @fine_juli lithub.com/writing-during-na… @lithub

To anyone writing a book - I'm 23,000 words into the first draft of my 11th book. I've changed the title 4x, rewritten the opening 3x, changed my mind about the ending half a dozen times & doubted whether I can make this work more times than you know. #totallynormal #amwriting

To all the mums who are squeezing in writing around school runs and teething toddlers and mountains of washing and all the other things that fall under the umbrella of family management:
I see you.
One word after another, for as long as it takes. You'll get there.
