I went on vacation for a week.
When I came back, my novel acted like we’d never met.

I chose a second child. I didn't realize I was also choosing 11 years of silence. The problem wasn't the baby...https://t.co/HhEeMHHcN0

Failure in writing often feels like a period.
More often, it’s just a comma.

Hey writers--Even Dickens didn't write "A Christmas Carol" at Christmas. So stop beating yourself up for not meeting quotas this time of year. #amwriting #motherhood #HolidaySeason

While research abounds on children's sleep, little focuses on exhausted mothers beyond postpartum. We’re like Amazon packaging: quickly discarded once the purchase arrives. See my recent Substack with tips to fight fatigue and restore your creativity: https://t.co/LuCQawdQhV...

What happens when you're always the "parent on call?" You lose your ability to think deeply. Read my latest Substack, "Writing with Oven Mitts," and find out how to banish "mental lint" and reclaim your focus. https://t.co/08U98uOIC1

Years of motherhood interruptions don’t just steal your time—they rewire your brain. You can have a quiet room, but if your brain is in crisis mode, you can’t focus. This week on my Substack, "Writing with Oven Mitts," I'll show you how to break the cycle. https://t.co/tZGTrHKwXo

When fathers write, it's called ambition. When mothers write, it’s indulgence. Until you treat your creative work as essential, it will always be the first thing you chuck. Read my new Substack, #writingwithovenmitts and learn why your writing matters.

[Suzanne Chazin @SuzanneChazin]

“Creative expression isn’t indulgent. It’s essential—not only for a mother’s well-being but her children’s. In the U.S., up to one in five mothers experience perinatal depression or anxiety, with long-term impacts on child development.” Visit "Writing With Oven Mitts" on Substack
