Ah, the joys of attachment parenting + homeschooling : ) But…"

I also would love to hear more about this topic -- the balancing is so easy some days, seemingly impossible on others. I love to hear success stories : ) Families whose kids are grown and who have maintained a level of sanity throughout :…"

"Kate,
I am still trying to make time to write and encourage writing in my kids. For the last 3 years, we have nanowrimo'd together for example, which has been a blast.
I am on-again-off-again in terms of finding time to write for myself,…"

I'm new to SheWrites so that would explain the "tardy" response to your query. I, too, homeschool. In fact, my early steps into writing were born out of a need to process what we were doing as a homeschooling family…"

Wendy, thank you - both for reading and for your lovely note!
I just took a look at your site, and really love the post on becoming more mindful, esp. "Practice Grace." Am taking that thought into my day, my week, and a new book. :-)

- Hello Wendy,
I think writing is one of the most gracious things one can do, from anywhere. Especially now that the internet opens us up to the world. It doesn't much matter to me if I'm in Vancouver or here. I used to live in Toronto and didn't do any writing there.
I love blogging, and I encourage you to just fit it in where and when you can. It's much more important to be there for your kids than it is to write at the moment. But, I also think it's important to have a creative out when you are at home being a mom… I wish I had recognized that years ago. So, your voice is developing… and the opportunities will present themselves as you go. Be encouraged that there is only one you, and only you can say what you can say. Glad to have 'met' you, both here and at my blog today. Hugs, Lesley-Anne

- Welcome to She Writes, Wendy. Lots of great conversation here. Consider jumping in by joining one of the groups, perhaps the fiction group or, if you write long fiction, the just-formed novel group, Novelists - Struggling or Not. I'm also a fiction writer (novelist, although I publish stories and essays too), so will look forward to chatting with you!
