(view spoiler)[Good question! And I think the answer is a common one ... I'm a smart girl. How the hell did I miss the RED FLAGS before having children with someone who ended up not being there for "our" kids??? Thinking back, I may have seen the flags and IGNORED them.
Dear Younger Me: Life as a single mother will be hard. You will carry the world on your shoulders. You will feel overwhelmed. You will have days that end with you crying from frustration. You will NEVER get on top of the laundry. But after it all ... YOU WILL FLOURISH. And then you will miss the days when your kids were little and still yours. (hide spoiler)]

Alone. That’s pretty much how I felt ALL THE TIME when I was a young, single mother.
I wrote SUPERWOMAN: A Funny and Reflective Look at Single Motherhood to remind other single mothers that they are not alone.

Inspiration usually stems from something deep within myself. Something I want or need to share because I feel that it will inspire others. Sometimes it's reflective, sometimes it's just something silly that happened, and other times it's a quirky perspective.

I'm currently writing two books. One is a memoir-style book about achieving goals and living a successful life (however the reader defines 'success').
The second book I'm writing is a suspense/thriller about a serial killer. This is not a memoir.

Write every day. Read every day. And when writing, always share your truth. If what you write scares you a little, you're on the right path :-)

The best thing about being a writer is that I get to inspire others. I believe that we're 'here', not for ourselves, but to serve others. As a writer, I get to share my experiences and in the case of SUPERWOMAN: A Funny and Reflective Look at Single Motherhood, my hope is that I can help other single mothers to learn from my journey and challenges.

When I have writer's block, I find that reading flares up the juices of inspiration.
