This is what happens when you’re raising kids and working full time and decide you want to become a writer. You find little moments wherever you can. Sure, more people say they want to write a book then actually get down and dirty and write one, but if you’re serious, and you want it bad enough, then you will find the time.

It’s funny how we talk about writers in terms of their creative powers. What the hell does this even mean? Honestly, the first time I heard this phrase it conjured up images of writers as some modern-day Merlin, or hunched over their typewriters with enormous black pointy hats, a cat walking up and down their desks knocking over coffee mugs.
