Five writers at varying points in their lives and careers discuss the challenges and rewards of writing while being a parent. We’ll discuss support, organizational tips, extenuating circumstances and more. As CNF writers, our children sometimes become part of our work as well as lighting a fire to inspire us to create a better family structure for them.

How do our kids respond when our work is our family and our family is our work? When and how do we decide if it’s a good idea to share our work with our kids? Can it heal family wounds? Build bridges?
