My first experience with an editor

July 21, 2021July 20, 2021 by Shell Sherwood

The day had come! It was finally that time in my writing journey where I was thinking about querying my book. There was just one more step before I was officially ready: hiring a professional editor. I assumed there would be some suggestions, a few critiques that could easily be fixed. But I never figured…

Moms–Your dreams are important too

June 30, 2021June 29, 2021 by Emmy Seal

Moms Who Write don’t just wake up one day and say, Hey…I’m going to be a writer! For most of us, these dreams are seeded almost before we can speak. So why now? Because moms have dreams too– and they are important. I have always had stories running through my head, but it wasn’t until…

To Work or To Write…That Is The Question.

June 25, 2021June 25, 2021 by Shell Sherwood

So many Moms Who Write have occupations outside of writing. Some may continue to write for work, creating content or blogs for business purposes. Most, however, tend to work entirely outside of the field. Their job requirements range; full-time, part-time, remote, in-person, freelance, per diem, on-call. Yet, regardless of what these jobs look like, they…

The Writer Who Moms

June 10, 2021January 27, 2022 by Kathryn Tamburri

It feels like the two halves of me are constantly trying to rip chunks out of the other—chunks of time, chunks of attention, chunks of affection. I try to put each in their assigned place, but the mom has to plan dinner while the writer can’t stop thinking about choreographing the next fight.

Where do you find the time?

May 25, 2021June 25, 2021 by Shell Sherwood

We don’t find the time. We’re not living in a video game where time is a prize hovering around in shiny orbs, waiting for us to collect and stockpile. Moms Who Write are just like any other dedicated professionals who are working towards a dream. We don’t find time– we make it.

Why now?

May 20, 2021May 20, 2021 by Emmy Seal

It’s a question I hear often from well-meaning people. It may seem weird to some for me to start on this path now. I have a day job, a home, a husband, and a couple of kids. It’s not as if I have an overwhelming amount of free time. But– why not?

The worst type of critic

May 12, 2021June 25, 2021 by Shell Sherwood

No matter which critics you encounter on your path, there is a silver lining to be found. Let the nasty comments fuel the fire that makes you write. Let the constructive piece of criticism make you better than you were. Find the reasons why you want to write. Remember them. Recite them often.

My house is a mess

May 11, 2021May 8, 2021 by Miriam Benarroch-Altman

My child’s needs trump my own. They come first and they depend on us. For 95% of the time, it’s all about them. What we choose to do with the other 5% is critical.  That’s the time meant for us to fill our cups so that we can have something to give to our families. So, what will we do with that time: clean or create? This varies and that’s the balancing part.

I forgot to write

May 7, 2021June 25, 2021 by Shell Sherwood

The modern world of writing is full of temptations to take you away from your work. Buy this, subscribe to this, promote this now. The whirlwind of online possibilities can pull you in and drag you under before you remember why you logged on to begin with.

You wrote today

May 6, 2021May 7, 2021 by Miriam Benarroch-Altman

You wrote today. Even if it doesn’t feel like it. You wrote and you rewrote on the pages of your mind. Your story is marinating there becoming a little richer and flavourful with every minute you can spare a thought for it. Let it marinate a little longer, dear friend.
