During nap time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMe: Mother, wife and writer watching forty climb the front steps like a peddler pushing time, and me with nowhere to hide. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The writer part used to come first, the forty used to be thirty, and marriage and motherhood were abstract activities I thought I'd try someday. Ah, growing up. If only it was the thrill promised when we were six.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e I have written hundreds of articles and essays that have been published. I have written a book that has not been published. It has been rejected. Repeatedly. Eventually, I set the whole stupid manuscript on fire. Did that stop me on this preposterous quest to publish a book? No. All I want in the whole wide world besides being a good mother to my two tiny daughters is to be an author. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But writing is hard. And the publishing industry is a beast. And I am terrified of failure. And most of my days are spent trapped under a pile of plastic princesses or scraping peanut butter off of the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Will I pull this author thing off? Or will I ditch writing, adopt a Xanax habit, abandon my own identity and live the rest of my life vicariously through my children? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Hmm, let's find out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dancing Moon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945587689\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Kim Cooper Findling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435571736757,"sku":"9781945587689","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a14d08f8-0be2-4f1a-99f2-fd526771e740.jpg?v=1776227245","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/bad-mommy-bad-writer-writing-from-home-while-keeping-the-kids-alive-9781945587689","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
