I am going to finish my first draft for the first time before the birth of my, can you guess? Third child...haha, gotcha there! Knowing that in a few months I'll be running on two to three hours of sleep a night really motivates me to get it done. I have underwhelming weekly goals (3000 words) but for me - SAHM to two under four - they are realistic, and I've learned if I'm not realistic I get frustrated and just give up. I'm feeling positive and excited. I hope I can keep up the energy.

My hat's off to anyone who manages to write with multiple pre-schoolers in the house.

Maryn, who wears a hat for just this purpose

Good luck! I'm a single mom of two (ages five and two) and I work full time. You can do this! I have finished two first drafts, and now am revising. It helped to kill my TV.
