When one is task oriented and working to deadlines,
the work becomes scripted and static.
Sure there are moments that shine,
but they're in the initial spark of the idea
or reserved for the intro or concluding paragraph.
Never in the middle, in the meat of the piece.
When one is free to write for writing sake,
the work becomes invisible
or even ceases to exist.
When creativity has no bounds
it often flies away.
First there were Blog updates . . .
Then came next week’s workshop . . .
Now for the trifecta of new developments!
I am excited to announce that I have joined the team at Rhode Island Moms as a contributing writer.
Part of Wicked Good Mom Media, Rhode Island Moms is a blog, news source, calendar, and social support all in one for local moms.
As I stated in my submission to them, being a mother to four children doesn’t make me an expert by any estimation, but it does give me a wealth of varied experiences from which to draw. And I am so excited to draw on my experiences here on this blog to inform what I share with moms there.
This new opportunity won’t change what you see here on Chopping Potatoes.
It gives me a chance to share a slightly different spin with a different audience.
There simply aren’t enough forums for motherhood and all its complexities.
I am thrilled to be adding my voice to one more.
