Writer Mom Life Episode 12: Katharine Grubb and Healthy Habits for Writers

Katharine Grubb is the founder of the Facebook group "10-minute Novelist", which provides support and encouragement to beginning and emerging writers. For writer moms, 10 minutes is about all you have sometimes! Katharine has some amazing tips and wisdom from her years as a hybrid author and homeschooling mother of 5 kids. Now she’s pulling back to focus more on her health, the joy of writing, and spending time with her family.

• Her shifting definitions of success that led her to pull back more this year to focus on what really matters
