How do you manage working, raising children, and becoming a New York Times bestselling author? I asked Allison Brennan how she does it, and she gave me some very inspiring answers. Her interview is online this month at WOW! Women on Writing.

In addition to advice about carving out time, and setting goals, Allison talks about making sure that we don’t give up what we want in order to please others. She also gives a warning about people who will use passive-aggressive behavior to try to stop us from reaching our goals.

The issue also has interviews with Deanna Rayburn and Debbie Macomber, two more bestselling authors.

Interestingly, the interviews were done by two teacher/mom/writers and a student/mom/writer. Let’s hear it for teachers and students who write!
