Earlier this month I was scheduled to appear on a panel “What’s Easier: Birthing a Book or a Baby?” Strictly speaking, nothing was easier than an emergency C-section for my twins. I made no decisions. I did no work. I went into...Writing Status Badges

I have a quote above my desk by Neil Gaiman that reads, “Whatever it takes to finish things, finish. You will learn more from a glorious failure than you’ll ever learn from something you never finished.” About three years ago,...Writing Status Badges

A year ago I decided to write morning pages. I’d read a blog post that guaranteed my writing would change if I started this simple practice. The post recommended writing three pages a day, front and back, handwritten. No cross-outs. No going...Writing Status Badges

Before I became a writer (or a wife or a mother), I was a ballet dancer. I danced in Europe for most of my career—in Iceland, Italy, Germany, and Austria. For nearly six years I stitched together gigs here and there, which required a mix of...Writing Status Badges

I published a book last week. It's called Brain Changer: A Mother's Guide to Cognitive Science. When I say I published it, I mean that I did everything. I formatted the text and created a cover out of a free-use photograph and an open source...Writing Status Badges

This is it. The Write On, Mamas Indiegogo campaign ends tonight at midnight. Which means that this is the last day of the Blog-off. I’ve blogged for each of the 35 days of the campaign and reposted on five different sites: the family blog, A Band of...Writing Status Badges
