1. What are you working on?\u00a0 <\/strong>While I know it\u2019s frowned upon in the blogging world, I\u2019m a blogger without a plan.\u00a0 I don\u2019t maintain an editorial calendar nor do I plan ahead much (other than for regular things like my Traveling Tuesdays<\/a> series).\u00a0 I usually write what is happening in my life and heart at the moment when I write it.\u00a0 While I sometimes plan ahead for posts on a certain occasion (like anniversaries, birthdays and holidays) most of my other posts are spur of the moment.<\/p>\n 2. How does your work differ from others of its genre?\u00a0 <\/strong>My work is different from other mommy bloggers I know in the fact that nearly all my posts are mine.\u00a0 I don\u2019t very often do sponsored posts (though I\u2019m always looking for opportunities!) so my content is what is interesting me and on my mind at the given moment when I sit down to write.<\/p>\n 3. Why do you write what you do?\u00a0 <\/strong>I write what is important to me because I figure it\u2019s probably important to other mommies too.\u00a0 We\u2019re all stuck in this big, wide, confusing world where we are constantly getting conflicting information and being made to feel like we are making the wrong choices or being \u201cbad\u201d parents and I just want to show that there is no right or wrong, there\u2019s only right for each family. \u00a0(You can read more about why I started writing in “What It’s all About”<\/a>)<\/p>\n 4. What is your writing process like?\u00a0<\/strong>My writing process is a bit scrambled.\u00a0 I try to write during my kids\u2019 nap time but I don\u2019t usually get far.\u00a0 I then try to catch up after their bedtime but I\u2019m usually too tired and unmotivated.\u00a0 So most of the time I\u2019m finishing up my post and adding the pictures in the morning while the kids finish breakfast and do their daily journals.\u00a0 I find I work the best in the morning but this is also the most hectic time of our day so I am always rushing to just get done!<\/p>\n (This is what I WISH my process looked like: sitting at a cafe somewhere, quietly sharing my thoughts while I sip a hot coffee, fully engrossed in my work, not a care in the world…)<\/p>\n I decided to reach out to a few bloggers I know personally who are either just starting out or doing it just for the fun of it (like me!) \u00a0The following lovely ladies will be sharing their writing process next:<\/p>\n Aileen of Newsy Parents<\/a> is a local blogger I know and former news anchor who now blogs about fashion, food and fun.<\/p>\n I grew up dancing with Kate of A Bit of Beauty and Grace<\/a>\u00a0who is not only a beautiful dancer but also a very talented painter and has she has a inspiring way with words.<\/p>\n![\"0125140832\"](\"https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/0125140832-768x1024.jpg\")
