“My book centers on the way life (and parenthood) didn’t go as planned for me, and birthing my first book in the middle of a pandemic was definitely on-brand. Before the pandemic, I thought that I could only write in an empty house, and would only ever write while my kids were at school. That all changed when distance learning went into effect, and suddenly my four kids were with me all day. Initially, I tried to shut myself off in my room, which is where I wrote most of my book last year. There is a little alcove with a sofa where I do most of my writing. But with the kids home I found that I needed to have eyes on them during the school day. So we shuffled things around, and sometimes I worked in my little room alcove, and sometimes in the middle of my living room near the kids. It’s chaotic, and decidedly less productive than I used to be, but I have learned that I can write with other people in the room. We’ve all sort of learned to work around each other and cohabit our spaces more collectively in the past few months. I can’t say it’s been amazing . . . yes, we’ve grown closer but it’s also been stressful as hell. But one thing is for sure, it’s a season we will never forget.” #RageAgainstTheMinivan #KristenHowerton #shelfie #writer #writersofinstagram #writersdesk #bookstagram
