Over at the SWFA blog, they’re talking about writers who become parents and how it changes their lives. This is a question I get asked a lot, so I encourage all parents or soon-to-be parents to read this carefully. My favorite comment came from Mishell Baker:
As for motivation, nothing motivates me to write more than parenthood. It’s not just about the hope of earning money and making a life for my daughter; it’s also about being the person I want my daughter to see. Children don’t listen when you lecture them about perseverance, about living up to their potential. What they do is watch you, very closely. I am deeply motivated to become someone that is worthy of my daughter’s emulation and respect.
