Insights into the writing life of an exhausted mom of four 8 and under.

Hey! You! Yeah, you! Could you bring this momma some coffee? *Laugh*

I'll be sharing my struggles and triumphs as I try to pin down inspiration while juggling an 8 year old, 6 year old, 5 year old, and 5 month old (oh, and also navigating my chronic illness). There'll be lots of humor, probably more than a little complaining, and just all around good times.

I hope you'll come along for the journey! (Don't forget the coffee; I'm serious about that! *Coffee*)

Prompt: How about a little trivia fun--

What song was number one the year you were born or what book was number one on the New York bestsellers list the year you were born?
Are you familiar with the song or the book? Would you recommend either to us?

Oooh I get to put on my research hat! *BigSmile*

*Music1* So the number one song was "I Will Always Love You" (the Whitney Houston version, an absolute classic!). I would definitely recommend this song and, as a matter of fact, I find myself singing it quite often.

*BookmarkV* The number one book was "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt. I have never even heard of this book, much less read it, but a glimpse through the Googler at the synopsis seems like a very interesting read. It's apparently considered a dark academia classic, and I am a big fan of that vibe.

Prompt:
“Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.”
Meister Eckhart
What resistance or skepticism does this quote bring up in your mind? And why?

I love this mindset so much. I love to learn new things, and I love the feeling of beginning something new. I actually don't have any resistance to this whatsoever. No matter how much we have learned about any given topic or skill, we can always learn more. How great would it be to approach everything with the hopeful enthusiasm of a beginner.
