Writing moms

A couple of helpful posts on writing through parenthood — rules to live and work by.   Here’s one from memoirist Louise deSalvo, at Christina Baker Kline’s blog

And here’s a response from creative nonfiction writer Lisa Romeo:
It’s good to have a room of one’s own, but if you’re the primary caretaker, it helps to learn to write anywhere, rather than being bound to that one place/method.  Notebook in the park; laptop at the hockey rink.

    Thanks for the shout-out. And you're so right -write anywhere, on anything. It even comes in handy later in parenthood, when you're not so restricted, but still have that good habit.
