Do these scenarios sound familiar?

Have you ever wondered if you are the only woman on the face of this planet who is trying to nurse a baby while typing madly on the keyboard? Or wondered if your teenager could actually, physically, drive you up the wall? Perhaps you are one of our treasured Writing Grandmothers, able to give some 'been there, done that, got the t-shirt' advice. Or perhaps a professional writer who supports your family by writing novels, magazine articles or marketing communications? A writer-in-training who hopes to reach that goal one day? A mom who writes in a blog or journal for the sheer joy of writing? A napkin-novelist? Have you ever tried to meet a deadline with a house full of sick kids?

You belong here.

Find out how to balance the writer's life with the mom's life. We'll team up together and fight the dreaded Internal Editor, support creativity, and boost each other toward success! And while we're at it, we'll share the perfect slow-cooker recipe, get ketchup stains off the white sofa, cure diaper rash and cope with teenage angst. From babies to 'tweens and teens, we'll love them and teach them many things, including how to wait just a few minutes while mom finishes her article.

The Writing Mother was created for every mother who has ever tried to balance being a mother with being a writer. Sometimes you can never tell where one ends or the other begins. But if you have ever been crafting plot lines while washing dishes, writing in a journal while perched on a toilet seat lid so you can watch your child in the tub and write at the same time, been the one your college bound student comes to for writing advice, or critiqued the books you read your children at bed time - then this is the site for you.
