Things About Writing as a Parent #10 By D. M. Beucler Burnout as a parent who writes is so real. Your time on is often almost the entirety of your waking hours. A good writing community can help in the moments when things feel over your head.

Things About Writing as a Parent #9 By D. M. Beucler My children have always had piles of books, play swords and real armor. Watching their creativity has inspired my own.

Things About Writing as a Parent #8 By D. M. Beucler It is so difficult as a parent to get into a flow state while writing. You learn to do a lot with small chunks of time, constantly interrupted. I wrote words at the park, at the library, during swim lessons, any place my children could be safely occupied.

Things About Writing as a Parent #7 By D. M. Beucler Mom and... so many times, the "and" part gets overlooked and overshadowed. As a parent you strive for balance. Parenting, especially as a mother in my experience, has expectation of sacrifice. You give up your sleep, forgo careers, hobbies and many other things keeping these tiny humans alive and well. And writing was a way for me to keep something that I did for myself.

1 could not put Memory and Magic down when I started reading it. D. M. Beucler's debut begins with a simple, relatable problem. Paying the rent and then escalates from there into adventure, intrigue and magic. I loved every page of it." —Mary Robinette Kowal

Things About Writing as a Parent #5 By D. M. Beucler Finding your people is important. Writing as a parent requires a huge network, colleagues who understand the difficulties, friends and family who can give you an afternoon free to make a deadline. Behind every writer, especially parents who write, is a village.

Was he worth the risk? Would he remember her magic when he woke up? If he woke up. She could just hear her mother's voice now sharp with disapproval. "Tamsin Saer, I did not raise my daughter to ignore those in need. Try." "He's a rich kingsringer. He doesn't weigh the same as one of the charity cases in the village mother," she muttered. And anyways, you're dead... Memory and Magic By D. M. Beucler

Things About Writing as a Parent #4 By D. M. Beucler The very best thing about being a parent and a writer is that my kids are my biggest cheering section. Before anything was published my kids would tell their teacher that their mom wrote books. While I have always written, having my children motivated me even more to get published to show them what is possible in life.

"Memory and Magic engaged me from the beginning and kept me invested in it all the way to the end. The novel hits the trifecta of magic, politics, and romance in all the right ways without being predictable. Tamsin is a fully realized, interesting character who does interesting things, and it was a delight to share a world with her." -Lisbeth Campbell, author of The Vanished Queen

Things About Writing as a Parent #3 By D. M. Beucler There is enormous privilege in being a stay-at-home parent who writes. We are fortunate enough to live in a place with a low cost of living, and I have an amazing spouse: we work together to keep things going.

"I told you, that doesn't concern you," he said. Tamsin looked at Lacey. She wouldn't meet Tamsin's eyes. "I don't know what you two are involved with," Tamsin said. "But be careful. Not every bullet wound can be healed." Memory and Magic By D. M. Beucler

Things About Writing as a Parent #2 By D. M. Beucler Sometimes as a parent you need to turn the writer brain off. During the worst of Covid, when we were juggling virtual school in a small home with two kids, l gave myself permission to not write and hoped that the words would still be there when I was ready.

Things About Writing as a Parent #1 By D. M. Beucler A significant portion of Memory and Magic was written in McDonalds or other fast-food places. They were open late, had Wi-Fi, enough quiet that I could work. My husband would take the kids two nights a week and I would head to any place but home and work on the story. Sometimes the least glamourous places can be the most productive.

"..one of her perfectly mannered neighbours back home had called the guard on her mother for healing. Someone dressed in silk and sipping ices had set in motion something that killed half of Tamsin's family. She had no reason to trust a pretty face." Memory and Magic By D. M. Beucler

Things About Being a Writer in Scotland #10 By Lyndsey Croal Café writing and train journeys: I personally love getting out and about to write, as I sometimes struggle to focus just in my flat. There's something about the buzz of a coffee shop, or the forced stillness of a train journey that can bring out some of my best writing sessions. Luckily in Edinburgh there's no shortage of great cafes (and pubs), where I can enjoy strong coffee and delicious baking while working on different things. And I'm often on a train journey visiting family or friends, so it's the perfect time to take out the laptop to work on a project, usually enjoying the sights of Scotland as I go!

Things About Being a Writer in Scotland #8 By Lyndsey Croal Support for the arts: Scotland has such a rich history of literature, and I'm glad that there are still some amazing organisations and opportunities for authors in Scotland. The Scottish Book Trust is just one example, and I was very fortunate to receive a New Writers Award in 2020, which has been invaluable to my writing career. They've supported hundreds of new authors through the scheme and do so much great work across the country for literacyand writing. There are alsoloads of amazing magazines and publishers, events with opportunities to perform your work, museums celebrating writing and storytelling, and other essential arts communities in Scotland.
