Publié par Relay Publishing, le 01 juin 2020

Résumé

Legions of books exist about writing: how to write, how to publish, how to make a living as a writer... but books about being a parent and a writer? Nothing. No books that dive deep into the realities of raising young kids while striving for success as a professional writer. The sleepless nights. The worries and fears. The efforts to teach kids kindness, empathy, understanding. And of course, potty training. Until now. Author and parent Chrissy Wissler offers this much-needed resource. Writing While Raising Young Kids: An Author's Guide to Finding Balance holds nothing back. Wissler chronicles her own emotional journey as she struggles to find her way between the needs of her two differently wired kids, her own dreams, and redefining what 'success' means-for her and her family. A must-read book for any writer tackling the even bigger job of parenting at the same time. Because when it comes to raising kids, we're all in this...together. "Reading Chrissy Wissler's Parents and Prose blog is like having a much-needed conversation with your best friend, which offers reassurance that you're not alone in your struggles and proof that we can all find a path that works for us if we just listen to our hearts and our children."-Allyson Longueira, award-winning writer, publisher and parent "Written from the heart, [Chrissy Wissler] invites the reader to follow along on her journey as she struggles to find ways to help her special needs children-and discovers the best way to help them is through helping herself. The experiences Chrissy shares and the path she's followed are often difficult-emotionally-to read. I found myself celebrating each of her successes and pondering her discoveries long into the night. Well worth the reading experience, whether you be parent or writer or both!"-Lousia Swann, Author, Editor, and Parent About her novel Home Run, New York Times bestselling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch said: "Wonderful book, chockfull of unexpected surprises. If you like sports novels, you'll like this-even if you don't like romance. If you like romance, you'll like this-even if you don't like sports novels."
