about The Writing Mother group ...

What is this 'writing mother' stuff anyway?

As mothers who write - either part time, full time or 'the rest of the time' - we have unique challenges. Being a mom is "the hardest job in the world" or so says Oprah. And being a writer can be a tough row to hoe, too. Both jobs take a lot of energy and neither involves a lot of 'giving back to one's self'.

So I created The Writing Mother site and group (see bar at the right!) so writing mothers around the world could join together to support one another.
