Most of the time I write here to share information, to highlight an amazing mom or to help spread creative inspiration. This post is different. This post is for me.

I want to take the time to put down some thoughts about writing. My love of writing is really what prompted me to start this blog. I wanted to figure out a way to write, and be a mom and not forget that being creative is important to me.

Yes, blogging technically is writing and I feel that blogging has allowed me to keep up some of the skills needed to feel like a writer. Right now, writing here is what I do to stay sharp, to stay familiar and to keep my thoughts fresh.

Maternal Spark has brought me many connections with like minded women and I love that (you guys are great!)

But I really miss fiction.

I really want to pound out the novel that’s been stuck in my head for the last two years.

I really want to sink myself into it and allow myself the indulgence of writing for me.

Honestly, I don’t know if I can work a full time job, be a mom, be a wife, be a blogger AND write a book. I don’t think I can.

I’m not giving up Maternal Spark – that’s not an option.

And I don’t think I’ll give up the hubby or Little H (love you guys too!).

Job? Well, that has to stick around for a while.

Hmmm. You know, I’ve come to meet a few moms who have written books. I think I’ll do a series of posts about them. See what kind of wisdom they have to share….I know they have it tucked away in their minds. What do you think? If you have a question you’d like them to answer leave it in comments.

What have you put on hold since becoming a mom? Are you going to go back to it? What are you doing about it in the mean time??
