Sex Romp Gone Wrong author Julia Ridley Smith on creating characters with mixed emotions, using her observant writer's eye, and making everyone in your house learn to clean their own toilet
Smith offers so many great suggestions, especially make the time to write because the to-do list will never end, and make others clean their own toilets and laundry and make their own lunches!
I really like the advice to "be determined not to care when they don't do it the way you would've done it." I'm still working on that one, but it's a great reminder that if you want something done by someone else, you have to let them do it their way. :)

right? I've been struggling with the to-do list thing a ton so far this year, so that was a really helpful reminder for me!

it's good advice, right? and especially with kids--they have to do it badly so they can learn!
I went through a season of caregiving and so much of this resonates. Thank you!
I'm so glad this connected with you!
