I was thinking today, while out shopping for food, it would be great to have other writing moms and dads share their insights on writing while raising a family. Besides, coming up with new blog ideas weekly and daily is a challenge, so why not share the fun with others.
So here is the deal starting next week. I would like to interview fellow writers who have children in the house or did have children in the house while working on a writing project/career. You can either be interviewed by me or do a guest blog about a time when getting an assignment down was a challenge because of your children. I am very open to any suggestions about posts by you here on Fridays. I will only do one person a week so first come first serve.
If you are interested in being interviewed or doing a guest, blog post contact me at storiesforchildren@vsgrenier.com.
I am really looking forward to getting to know you all better and hear how you have made raising a family and writing work in your life.

Shortly after its publication, she sold the literary agency and returned to New York. Since then she’s pub...
As a harried blood courier, I know all too well how hard it is to live, work, blog, and then try to write your novel. Roland
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Virginia...on being one of America's Super Moms! I single parented three children, was a nurse-practioner and worked on a novel. And the time just flew! So now I'm a grandmom. My grown kids tell me they learned how to survive being tired and cranky, learned how to laugh, love, get up and do it all over again the next day.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great idea, Virginia. We definitely have to learn how to juggle when we have families.
