Are you a writer mama?

There's several terrific articles in the latest issue of Writer's Digest on blogging, freelancing, and being a stay-at-home parent and writer. Luckily you can view them online without having to buy the issue.

The Write-At-Home Mom by Christina Katz offers some terrific tips on how to keep sane as a writer while trying to raise small children. You will have to buy the magazine to find out about the write-at-home mom writing contest, however. Also, her book Writer Mama: How to Raise a Writing Career Alongside Your Kids will be released next month. You should check her Writer Mama website, too.

Blogged and Burned by Sara Weinman is about why staying professional on your blog can help you avoid problems with your clients and future prospects and employers.

Pick Me - The old rules don't apply anymore. So what's an author gotta do to get noticed around here? by Linda Formichelli. I love Linda and am currently reading The Renegade Writer's Query Letters That Rock: The Freelance Writer's Guide to Selling More Work Faster. She always has great ideas for freelancers.

And speaking of The Write-At-Home Mom, it's 6:19 a.m. (yes, I got up early, one of her tips) and Monkey Boy's awake and telling me about the scary dream he had. So much for writing. It's time to put on my mommy hat and make breakfast.
