I Opened My Drafts for the First Time in Three Years
Self-Awareness 101 Now I’m not sure if I’m a genius or a psychopath Hi. It’s been a while. It’s hard to jump back into the pond after all these years. I used to put on my swim trunks every morning and pump words out of my head and onto this site. It was fun. It was addicting. It was occasionally cathartic. Sometimes it was even lucrative. Not mortgage lucrative. More like electric bill lucrative.
The conversation with a stranger that completely shifted my perspective on parenting.
parent opinion "Mummy, can we go to the beach?" It wasn’t an unusual request, as we live in a beach town. But as the words left my son’s mouth, my body stiffened with hesitancy. Ugh. It was the last thing I wanted to do. I looked at his innocent face, his excited, blue eyes, and said, "Fine. But only for one hour." There’s always so much to do around the house. I really didn’t have the time. Two words. That’s all it took — two words from a perfect stranger — to completely shift my perspective.

Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we dig in, our readers would like to get to know you a bit. Can you tell us a bit how you grew up? I grew up in a family with three other children. Initially in London, England, then we moved to Oxfordshire, then Salisbury, then Hereford — so I moved around a lot. My three sisters are Catherine, Jessica, and Anna. My parents did an amazing job of giving us a happy and fun childhood.
Interview with Me
Very important lead-off question, buddy. Plus, it will provide you with some valuable insight into how a woman’s mind works. I am drawn to blue visuals. I prefer navy to royal. NOT baby blue! Not robin’s egg blue either because that is closer to green. I mean, I do like green, sometimes, but that can go downhill FAST and you can end up with lime green, or worse, seafoam green. Sage is pretty. Hunter has its moments. I like to wear black. But, I can’t possibly proclaim that black is my favorite color.
How Important is Social Media for Writers?
Should writers have social media? Which social media channels should writers have? Should writers have Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Quora, Reddit and Tumblr?
I'm Ignoring Your Facebook Posts, And This Is Why
Shut up. Just shut up. I am this close to unfriending you. And you. And you and you and you. Social media has a way of making people—namely mothers—feel inadequate. Feel like failures. Not creative enough. Not involved enough. Not fun enough. Not motherly enough. Just not … well … enough. And it pisses me off because motherhood is hard. We all do our best. We all just do it differently. I was completely overwhelmed my first three years of motherhood.
