Writer + Parent

Is this the child or the parent?

Bering a parent is hard.

Being a writer is hard.

Being a writer while also being a parent? Well… if you’ve tried, you know it’s not for the faint of heart.

In case you missed it, I wrote a blog post for the SFWA Blog last month, called, “Writing While Parenting,” a 10-step ‘guide.’ Hopefully it gives my fellow writer-parents a good, commiserative laugh, some practical ideas, and maybe even a little inspiration.

If you’re looking for more advice, best-selling author John Scalzi also gives some practical writing-while-parenting tips here, and there’s some good stuff in the comments on his piece, too.

Finally, here’s a goldmine panel of parent-writers as well. Enjoy!
