I’m still just getting better—not all better yet.
I’ve been doing a good job of keeping up with my writing. It truly amazes me that I’m getting so much more writing done since I became a mother.
I wasted so much time as a non-parent. I would think nothing of watching three hours of television an evening. I don’t even know what shows are on TV anymore.
Have other parents experienced this upsurge in creativity since becoming a parent?
And for you non-parents, how do you keep yourself working and not being distracted by all our digital era offers?
They say the female brain triples in activity or capacity or something after childbirth and that women actually become smarter - probably in anticipation of watching over and caring for their child. It seems to me creativity would be a natural extension of this phenomena.
