Check out @PenParentis, which is a great resource, nonprofit, & reading-series that helps writers with kids.

I dedicate 3 days to writing at 5 AM before anyone else is awake, a 3 year old, 4 month old, & wife.

My brain is the freshest then, & the house is quiet, & my coffee is hot.

I can’t do this every day because I also use that time to grade & edit essays.

This works for me!

My wife is a nurse & works 12-hour nightshifts.

When she’s at work & the kiddos are sleeping, I use that time to write & lift weights, sometimes at the same time.
