You can do it! - The title of this book, "Writer Mama: How to Raise a Writing Career Alongside Your Kids" had me at hello. Ever since I got my own (now dog-eared and highlighted) copy almost a year ago, I've been taking steady steps towards writing success, even with my children underfoot. The plan Christina spells out in this book, including pitching the small stuff first, really works. And what's more, it's entirely do-able. Even for busy Moms who are trying to juggle everything (like me!).
Not only a great resource, this book is also a comfort during those doubtful moments when you need to hear a cheery voice that says, "Press on!" Christina's enthusiasm is contagious. If you wish Christina could be over your shoulder every day, cheering you on, then try out her online classes or visit her blog. I have done both, and have found a wonderful community of fellow writer mamas with Christina as a very committed, hands-on coach! Just what I needed!

Great book for all writer mommas! - I came across Writer Mama by Christina Katz here on Amazon while browsing all the books on writing. As a momma, the title caught my attention. Writer Mama had great reviews so I decided to add it to my list of books to read on writing. I truly enjoyed reading Ms. Katz's book. I felt the encouragement that I can actually achieve my dream of writing. I am now taking one of Writer Mama's courses to give myself the nudge to get started. Go Writer Mama!
