Writing Quote Wednesday: Having Kids and Writing

“I can count all the ways in which being a mother has enriched my understanding of the world, of character, my sense of the future and my attachment to it. I can’t imagine what kind of writer I’d be if I didn’t have my kids.”

—Barbara Kingsolver, The Telegraph interview, October 22, 2012
