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 She is the author of six (unpublished) novels and two (published) technical books.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

Thank you for saying that.
I don't know what your post was about for YOU, but for me it spoke about the whole Palin issue.
I feel removed from the situation, because I'm a Canadian, but there is something really, really disturbing about the situation.
One one of my lists they started making fun of her hair, her parenting choices, her voice, her smile...
And all I could think was that there is no way anyone would tell a child that it's ok to make fun of anyone elses voice, hair, family, smile, etc.. no way. Why? Because it's outright rude.
So why is it ok to tear down a public figure by attacking her personally. Does her hair have something to do with her politics? Her voice? Her smile? No, it doesn't.
I wish people had more class, I really do. I hope they don't say these things in front of their kids and then act surprised when their kid gets in trouble for making fun of Billy's hair or Sally's voice.
Heather, that's exactly what I meant. Only I see it happening in more areas than politics. Just the other day, I surfed on over to a blog where a person had some nice posts about Christianity. Although I knew we wouldn't agree on every doctrinal issue, I thought this would be the kind of person I could be "e-friends" with. :)
But then I clicked on a post and surprise! There was a childish schoolyard insult leveled at someone I know, who happens to be a great guy and a wonderful Christian. And if the poster actually knew him too, he would never have said such a stupid thing.
I'm not going to grace him with a link to the post. Let's just say it was kind of a last straw sort of thing.
I ranted about it over on my other blog. Is Ridicule the New Black? http://blog.carolynrerickson.com/2008/10/03/is-ridicule-the-new-black/
