Deryn Collier is hosting a series of blog posts about the challenges of writing and parenting. She asked me to contribute, and of course I was thrilled to be a part of the project.

So far, the posts have been lovely and thoughtful.

Let’s be honest, though. Lovely and thoughtful are not my strong points.

I contributed a Cosmo-style quiz on how to tell whether you’re ready for the writer/parent combo life. It probably doesn’t reflect so well on my personal abilities. But hey, the truth isn’t always pretty!

Head over to Deryn’s blog to test yourself, and check out the other posts in this series here.

And let me know how you score on my quiz!
