Tips for writing at home when you are busy | How to be productive with kids

📚 Do you have big plans for 2022 that include writing a book? Writers often try to find time to write while working, parenting, maybe looking after your parents, finding romance, fitting in a social life, and forget getting any exercise. How do busy people get a whole book completed. In this interview, Author Nation speaks with Rachel Van't Land who wrote a book during the pandemic while juggling a busy life.

Rachel Van’t Land is a writer in Seattle, Washington, and the author of Talk Back to Me: A Radical Guide to Growing Up. When she’s not in a staredown with a blank page or telling stories on stage, she’s doing stereotypical things like hiking, drinking too much coffee, and trying to coax her teens out of their rooms.
