I'm actually working on 2 new novels at once, which isn't the most effective way to write, but when I get bogged down in one I have another one waiting. I have less writing time when my daughters are off school for summer break, so I'm doing a lot of outlining and note taking and getting ready to jump back in full-time once school starts back up.(less)

Pushing Through

This mom gig is not for the faint of heart. With two kids a year and a half apart, the early years are a bit of a blur. I had two babies in diapers at the same time, two babies who didn't sleep through the night at the same time, two toddlers who desperately needed daily naps they refused to take at the same time. I felt like I didn't sit down or have an uninterrupted night's rest for about five y Read more of this blog post »

“Interested is good. Interested is how everything starts.”
Cassandra Dunn, The Art of Adapting

“It's worth mentioning that if you do a shotty job at your last-minute frenzied effort, you might take it as evidence that you really are a fraud. But in the back of your mind you've also got a convenient, built in excuse for your poor performance. It doesn't feel good to do sub-standard work, but on some level you can tell yourself that it's because you left it to the last minute, and not because you gave it your best shot and failed. Which is terrifying - because it's your worst fear becoming reality.”
Cassandra Dunn, The Imposter Solution

“I wonder who in their right mind thought I was mature enough for this: motherhood, home ownership, a career, adulthood in general. I hope I have them all fooled, that I have any clue at all what I’m doing.”
Cassandra Dunn, The Art of Adapting
