(Kind-of-sort-of) writing with a baby
I was compelled to write this post after a co-worker approached me in the work kitchen and said, “I don’t know how you work full-time, have a baby, and write books. You must not sleep.” Lest I give the impression that women should burn the proverbial candle at both ends, I had to correct her: — Read More
