Do Not Disturb - Occupant is already disturbed! bumper sticker

Thank you, Dawn Colclasure, for making all the interruptions of today, yesterday, and the whole four years before seem worth it.

The Gifts of Being a Writing Parent

As a writing parent, you can count on going through many ups and downs. You can count on constantly being interrupted, faced with little time to write or having to learn how to type with one hand while you tend to a child with the other. But what you can also count on are the gifts which being a writing parent offers: You have the gift of never-ending support, instant feedback, a source of inspiration and ideas, and a shoulder to lean on for those days when nothing seems to be going right.

My new mantra:

I will not lose my temper when I’m interrupted again for the bajillionth time.
