Description
“I think ‘time to write’ must be one of the most misleading phrases in the English language…”
In this chapbook, Tansy Rayner Roberts—the Hugo-award winning podcaster and author of Musketeer Space, the Creature Court series, and more—explores the paths taken to reclaim and re-envision her writing career after becoming a mother.
Drawn from her popular blog, From Baby Brain to Writer Brain charts Roberts’ journey and offers advice to any parent trying to balance a writing career and caring for a new baby as trilogy deadlines come due. The chapbook includes essays on finding time to write, understanding the waves of guilt, and embracing the gentle art of not writing when necessary. The chapbook also includes an appendix detailing eight weeks of Tansy’s own experiences returning to writing after the birth of her second child.
Whether you’re a harried parent trying to find time to write, a fan of Roberts’ work looking for a glimpse at the behind-the-scenes, or simply a new writer looking for advice on building up your career, this chapbook is a fascinating insight into the way a writing process develops step-by-step.
