To be or not to be... a mom

Check out my latest "Write Out Loud" column in Velocity Weekly. Here's an excerpt:


Being a parent, a good parent, has to be the toughest job there is. Because motherhood can be so consuming, I am terrified that after becoming a parent I will either completely lose myself and start living through my child (obviously bad for both me and the little one) -- or that I will fight so hard to maintain my identity that I will end up being negligent. I want to trust that I'll be smart and mature enough to find the proper balance, but I'm skeptical. I've been told I can raise a child and still become the world renowned writer I dream of being. But I'm not sure how I can "have it all" and still have time to shower.
