Write Mama Blog Carnival

For months, I've been toying with the idea of starting a new blog carnival.  I've browsed through the categories at Blog Carnival and could never find one that was exactly what I wanted (other than the Just Write carnival).  So I have now acted on my idea and created the Write Mama Blog Carnival.

I plan to post this carnival on the first Monday of every month, with the deadline for the carnival being the last Friday of the month before.  If you are interested in participating, please follow the link above to the Blog Carnival submission page and send me your stuff.  Right now, I'm filing submissions under three categories:

Writing Tips for Moms: how do you find time to write while watching your children? How do you balance motherhood with the desire to write? How about writing markets for mommy lit? What other tips can you share with mom writers?

Writing about Mothering: It's natural that, as moms, we write about our experiences. This is the place to share those pieces that come out of our two vocations. This might include book reviews of mommy lit (other mothers writing about mothering) as well.

Moms and Writers: anything that doesn't fit in the above categories, yet is related to being a mom and being a writer.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know as well.  I'm also interested in having different mommy bloggers host the carnival; if you want to do this, drop me a note.  This is a new experience for me and I'm open to input.  I'm hoping to bring together a bunch of mommy bloggers to bless and encourage each other through this fun form of blogging.

Pass this information on to your fellow writer mamas and drop by here in early October for the first edition of the Write Mama Blog Carnival!
