Carolyn Erickson from The Writing Mother group came up with a great idea: A group Blog! So let's see if we can get this puppy off the ground! (How's that for mixing some metaphors!)

Mama Needs A Book Contract
We are a group of writing mothers who have come together to write about being writing mothers! There's no age limit, no required number of kids and no one way to be a writing mother, please join in the discussion!
Beware... no topic is OT.
Queries? Check
Poop? Check.
Time management? Check.
Boob talk? Check.
Pregnancy? Check.
Internal and External Editor problems? Check.
So *exactly* who are we?
Heather Cook is a mother, writer and sales manager (in her Day Job) writing from Calgary, Alberta. She has two non-fiction books due out in Spring and Summer 2009. Cook focuses on writing articles and books about horses and parenting. Because, uh, those are related, right?
Carolyn Erickson is a freelance writer, working from her home in Wichita, Kansas. (No, it isn’t all cows and wheat. We have sculptures, and tech companies and famous entrepreneurs. Yes, it is hot, but it’s a dry heat.) More importantly, Carolyn is Mom to her first-grader, and step-mom (not wicked) to two grown sons. When she isn’t writing, she likes to join Yahoo Groups and talk about writing. (And she likes to think she’s funny, but it’s a dry funny.)
Dejah, is a freelance writer. Her work may be read in national technology media. She is the author of six (unpublished) novels and two (published) technical books.
D Kai Wilson is a 20 something writer that's just returned to university to sit a joint honours degree around raising two kids and writing several books.
Faten Abdallah is a "Jill of All Trades". Abdallah is a freelance writer and the mother of a preschooler. She also teaches an education course at a university and recently launched her copywriting and writing business.
Linda Sherwood is a freelance nonfiction writer. The mother of four children, ages 13, 12, 10 and 8, Linda just completed her master's degree in English composition. When she isn't writing, she teaches English composition and journalism at a community college.

You can mix metaphors better than a KitchenAid! :)
Is this blog only for young mothers raising childen? I am a fifty-two year old mother and grandmother, and my last and youngest son is thirty-two. He was struck by a speeding car at the age of barely seventeen, and has an acquired brain injury that has left him emotional and mentally around thirteen to fifteen. I have loved writing all my life and I have a fantasy novel titled " The Calling ", that I am still working on that has thirty-seven chapters, a true story about my son titled "Why Mama Cries" and a fiction titled " Witches For Hire ". I am just a mom with no connections and was invited to Mama Needs A Book Contract, so I thought I would post this question first.

Ameasha, I just discovered your comment, so I hope you're still here...
To answer your question - no! We're not just for mothers of young children!
We're not even exclusively for mothers, although all of us are moms, and writers without kids might wonder what we're going on about! :)
Welcome! It's great to hear about your writing. I hope you have much success!
Carolyn
