Working at Wal-Mart (6-8 hours, 5 days a week) and writing a novel feels like not the easiest thing in the world. I’m engaged and want to eventually start a family after marriage, but I also want to be a published author one day. Does having a spouse helps with balancing motherhood and writerhood? I feel like I would feel even more pressure to be successful if I were to drop my job after becoming a mother. What are your thoughts?

What do you think of having your kids read your books?

What I love is when kids change expectations. Like ballerinas who do somersaults. Bees that hum instead. Or Turtles who talk with German accents. Have you kids given you specific inspirations?

Do you think your kids admire you for following your dreams? Is writing a positive influence on them?

When my kids were little we hired a teenager to play with the kids in the backyard or basement while we ‘caught up’ during the day. I often had a good hour or two to write. Anybody else use at-home babysitting?

The daily life of a parent is tough to work writing into, but do you find that it’s also offered you opportunities that you might not otherwise have had or taken? (eg driving more = brainstorming time, sitting with kids at bedtime = reading time)

What are some tools you use to engage with your writing while your kids are awake?(Or do you?) Eg. jotting down ideas or trying to make progress on a revision

Are there things that you don’t put into your books since having kids? Things that you DO put into your books now?

Has your view of kidlit changed since having kids? Are there things that you want to exist in books for them now that you might not have thought about before?

How do you encourage your kids to independently engage in books and reading?
