Somethings to Think About...

Posted by FA at 7:40 PM

I want to share with our readers some of my favorite quotes regarding writing and motherhood.

"The pen is mightier than the sword."--An ancient Arab proverb

"Write bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble.”--An Arab proverb

"The phrase "working mother" is redundant. "--Jane Sellman
"God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers."-- Jewish proverb

If you are having writer's block or need some type of inspiration, maybe these will help you. Feel free to leave your favorite quotes.

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 She is the author of six (unpublished) novels and two (published) technical books.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.
