Thank you so much! It means so much that I was able to empathize despite being childfree by choice! Thank you thank you for your words; they’re appreciated and very encouraging! (I’m also glad my correlation made sense!)
Oooh I love that! Also, very true! 😂 I don’t just hand out MY books all willy-nilly! I’ll buy you a different one if I want you to read it bad enough haha
An interesting take! Imagine if we were as in awe of, as consumed by, our writing as parents are with their children. Perhaps there's a line we have to draw to keep ourselves on track in terms of time management, but in thinking about it...children require time and attention. A lot of it. Careful attention, careful thought, careful nurturing. And the kind of attention we give (or don't give) to them is formative to who they become.
Many ways to apply this lens to our lives as writers.
Yesss, this is exactly what I meant! There’s so much nurturing... a lifestyle within itself to take on being a writer. Thank you for commenting and hashing out the meaning of my piece!
This is so inspiring and so true, all of it. As both a parent and a writer I feel this in my bones.

Absolutely. My husband called my books my word children. He's not wrong 😂
