Another mother writer’s NaNoWriMo win

Posted in Miranda, tagged , , , on December 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Stephanie Stambaugh, a blogger and writer living in Colorado, is a friend of Studio Mothers via Twitter. I had noted that Stephanie — also a mother of two — successfully completed NaNoWriMo, and I asked her how she pulled off that feat. Stephanie recently posted a blog-post response, which you may enjoy: Finally, My Post-NaNoWriMo [...]

On Balancing Life and Writing

Posted in Miranda, tagged , , on November 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

OK, so many of this blog’s readers are too busy with NaNoWriMo to do much blog surfing — or anything else besides keeping chaos at bay while trying to bang out the daily word count. This month, the word “balance” is probably not in your vocabulary. That said, if you can find a minute or [...]

Creative Construction is now Studio Mothers!

Posted in Miranda, tagged on October 21, 2009 | 12 Comments »

I admit that I never really cared for the name Creative Construction. I think it was the alliteration that appealed to me as I struggled to find a WordPress name that was available.

Now for the “real life” blogger moms

Posted in Miranda, tagged , , on October 20, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Last week I ranted about the mannequin-style approach at Mom Bloggers Club. Amy and Emma-Jane pointed out that the site’s header depicts women who are clearly NOT at home trying to bang out a blog post on an old laptop with a shift key that no longer works while the forgotten broccoli steams to mush [...]

Partially cross-posted from my personal blog…
In my SLS class last night, we talked about values and time management and how our value structure plays a huge part in managing our time.  I show an inspirational video in each class, and the one I showed last night struck a chord with just about everyone in the [...]

Mom Bloggers Club: Timing is everything

Posted in Miranda, tagged , , on October 14, 2009 | 9 Comments »

No offense, Mom Bloggers Club, but the recent post on My Favorite Writing Habits and Approaches left a few rather gaping holes.
This part was reasonable enough: “To develop your writing and/or passion, first make your presence with it a priority. It is simple. Make time and space for it.”
But this is all that the author [...]

Cathy: Not selling myself short

Posted in Cathy, tagged , , , , , on September 25, 2009 | 11 Comments »

Crosspost from musings in mayhem.
The question of balancing motherhood and creativity arises constantly. The other day, I read a very interesting wake-up call over on and her head popped off. I loved the photograph of the mom going ahead with painting whilst her toddler hung upside down, squiggling on her lap. The mom in the [...]
