On June 29, 2010 Mother Writer! celebrated She Writes 1st birthday with its first ever Mother Writing Contest.

The essays we received were wonderfully written, insightful and spoke directly to what it is to be a Mother Writer! Since the winners were announced I've been asked on numerous occasions to make all the entries available to be read. I leave this decision up to the writers themselves, but would love to see them posted.

If you submitted an essay to the Mother Writing Contest or feel inspired to write and share an essay about your own mother-writerhood please consider posting your work on your She Writes blog, your own personal blog or contact Nicelle Davis about her offer to host the essays on The Bees Knees.

Make sure also to please post a link to your essay in the comments below.

Thank you once again to all the participants, judges and Mother Writers! who made the Mother Writing Contest such a great success!

I'm happy to share my essay and can't wait to read the others. http://wp.me/pIjCh-4f
Thanks for starting this discussion, Victoria. Congrats again to Diana Duke! And, I, too, can't wait to read the other submissions.

Here's the link to my essay:
Mother and Writer. There are days when, like opposing forces, these two sides of me sit miles apart. Read more here.
I posted my essay here on my SheWrites blog. Rebecca Rasmussen also kindly posted it on her blog, The Bird Sisters, along with two other entries.

I tried to contact Nicelle, but did not hear back from her. She is more than welcome to post my essay on her blog.

Best,
