Being a stay-at-home mom isn't what it used to be. Social commentary takes a maternal turn as thoughts on films, music, literature and writing all take the spotlight on how to rock this new chapter of my life.

Unlikely
Inspiration hit me last night around 11 pm. Completely unheard of in my universe. I'm more of a thinker, doer in the morning hours, so what do you think I did? That's right, I did not go straight to the computer and write it down, nor did I pull out my smart phone to type in the thought either as it sat right there on a pile of books on my nightstand, literally less than a foot from me. I assumed that if it was important enough or clever enough that I would remember to pull it out of my subconscious in the morning. WRONG! I read somewhere (probably from Goldberg) to immediately write down a thought that comes to you. I suppose that's why she said she always carried a notebook with her every where she went.
For an avid writer, such as myself you would think that sudden inspiration would be more important than sleep. An author friend told me that the only uninterrupted time she got to write was after all the kids and even her husband were in bed.
Perhaps, one day I will actually finish the book I started my junior year of high school. If I deem sleep more important than writing, then finishing is highly unlikely.
