I'm often asked how on earth I managed to write and publish my first book when I still had a baby and a 2 year old. Today, I'll take you through my messy mother's writer's routine and how I wrote More Than a Healthy Baby: Finding Strength and Growth After Birth Trauma. 

This was a book that just had to come out of me! and no, I didn't get up at 5AM or sacrifice any precious sleep to get it done. 

I'll take you through:

How to take the pressure off and maybe rethink what it actually means to write a book (versus what you think it has to mean)

Why I think a lot of writer routines you hear about are unachievable for mothers (and a bit wanky)

The difference between 'shallow' writing and 'deep writing'

How I take notes and research

How to know if a book topic is going to sustain you for the time it realistically takes to write, publish and promote a book

I also send a weekly email and have old school-style pen pals rather than use social media :)
