Hi Karen, Welcome to the Write Spot. I know what you mean about writing once the kids are in bed...I write when they are in bed or at school, or both! Hope you enjoy the space here!

What is your favorite time to write?
In the evenings, a habit I formed after having my kids. I could only write when they were sleeping Now, it's part of the bedtime routine. Pajamas. Brush teeth. Mommy goes to write!
What are your favorite genres?
I'm all over the place in my genre preferences. I'm just as happy with a good Elmore Leonard book as I am with a YA novel by Elizabeth Berg.

It’s probably the spiritual equivalent of emptying the trash on your computer. It clears away what you don’t… Continue
