Being a writer is a challenge. We're looking at a literary landscape full of landmines determined to blow your leg off at the first misstep. It's exhausting, there's tons of competition, social media makes advertising too easy creating nothing but noise, and then there's the self publishing/traditional publishing thing, and 'do I need an agent?' and 'how in the hell did that fifty shades woman become famous overnight?' questions and so on and so forth. When you actually make it, it must feel (I imagine) like you just performed the most amazing magic trick ever, but you're completely befuddled at how you did it. The girl is clearly cut in half, but her toes are still wiggling! Now let's get really creative and throw kids into the mix. How do you accomplish the above with kids running around? It's do-able. It's just another part of the magic trick. A magic trick called the home-work-kids-life-balance. Sometimes it'll feel like you're trying to keep a lot of plates spinning while balancing on a ball, while being attacked by the goblins from the Labyrinth.
