A to Z Challenge: W
W is WRITING mommy
I love writing. But I love being a mommy. I homeschool my little angels, so I love teaching, too. Dividing my time between all my duties is hard to do. It really is. Because teaching my kids isn't anything to to take easy. I am responsible for teaching them to read, write, math, and all the other fun things school has to offer (yep. I said fun, just in case any of my kiddo's read this post..)
But writing is important, too, because if I don't spend time researching, studying, actually writing, then revising and editing, my dream will go no where but to sleep.
Of course, I have all my other duties as a wife and home maker, and life in general.
So, being a Writer Mommy is no easy task. What things do you do to organize your time to include writing and life?
As always, thank you, Vikki, for coming up with such a brilliant blog hop!

I admire anyone who juggles writing and kids. If you home school, then that is even more amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex. Though sometimes I don't feel very amazing:) Just exhausted!
DeleteThis is very happy news! :)
ReplyDeleteWoo-Hoo!! Thanks Vik:)
DeleteFamily is the greatest of celebrations :)
ReplyDeleteI love my family so, so much!
DeleteSo happy for your mom. Congrats on being a literary intern. Raising kids is no easy task. You've chosen the best path, and I'm glad you're still making time to write too:)
ReplyDeleteIt's a long path sometimes, but I'm happy with my choice:)
DeleteAs much as I'd like to have at least one kid someday, I think it's a blessing in disguise that I've been childfree way longer than I ever expected. It's given me so much extra time for writing. I really admire people who are able to write along with taking care of kids.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your internship!
Thank you Carrie Anne!
DeleteI homeschool, too, which does make writing a challenge, but after doing this for a few years I can see it as a blessing too, and not just for the obvious reasons, but for my writing as well. If I didn't homeschool, I would probably spend all day, every day on the computer, which isn't healthy. Homeschooling forces balance on me.
ReplyDeleteWe should get together sometimes and talk home school stuff:)
DeleteBalancing is hard. After work, and family, writing often comes a poor third. Sometimes the only way to go is to give myself permission to be selfish (because, yes, that's sometimes how I feel) and set aside an hour or two. Leave the world to its own devices, and safeguard that precious time.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I usually get time to write late at night, but even that is divided between social media time, work, and editing:)
DeleteCongratulations on the new position. I have no desire to become a literary agent, the going to publishers and pushing books would be the hard thing. But I think doing the behind the scene things with queries and reading/analyzing stories would be fun. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWow, it does sound like you have a lot going on. I'm a mum too but my children go to school/nursery, which is when I write.
ReplyDeleteHi--Nice to meet a fellow writer. Stopping by from the A-Z challenge, which is soon to be over! Glad to have found your blog. I think you'll enjoy being an agent. It sounds like fun to me. (Plus a lot of work, of course.)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new position! Very exciting! I'm always impressed how moms who write can do it. I just hope I'll be able to do it too someday. :)
ReplyDeleteYup writing and being a mommy is a tough gig. But isn't it amazing what women are capable of?
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your mom is better. Huge congrats on your new intern position! Yay for Writing Mommies everywhere! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is very great news! I am so happy for you.
