I can relate to this so much. I was just getting my creative groove back (30 minutes of writing a day, first thing in the morning, usually in the dark while praying my children wouldn't wake up) when Covid hit and knocked everything out of whack. But *then* after 5 months when I found a viable childcare solution, the world actually slowed down a bit for me, giving me the space to not only write but to share it with the world (or, you know, with the 10 fans who actually read my stuff...). But it's taken getting back into writing to realize how terribly suffocated I felt all during those years of intensive parenting. As for you, I'm so glad you're harnessing your creative forces again -- I love your stuff!
