This was incredible to read as a mom of two young children struggling to fulfill my life dream and write a novel while juggling parenting, managing household, admin tasks and staying sane and present. I haven’t related to anything this much since becoming a mom. There’s a huge gap in the productivity community when it comes to motherhood, thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts

Wow thanks for sharing. Yes this stage is definitely the hardest with young kids, but it will pass. What are you writing about? What ways do you find to incorporate it into your life?

…it is inspiring to read a process so human detailed out loud…the rules are so loud sometimes i can’t help but feel i should follow them…but in a similar but much different way i too have allowed my writing to be where and when it needs to be without my interference…writing as a spiritual portal seems so honest i find it odd i don’t hear that more often..however one might define god i think we are all hard pressed to describe such things without words or at least a voice and vision…

Thank you so much CansaFis for you support on this piece and helping me make sense of the messy thoughts in my head to get this to the finish line.
