She's here 😭 I wrote 'Mor(e) than Motherhood' when I was in the depths of postpartum depression. I'm so proud of her. And me. 🤍 Shoutout to @mldesigns.bsky.social for the beautiful new cover. #BookCover #BookSky #IndieBooks #Poetry #Motherhood #Writer #Author #HappyDance

Yesterday, I wrote a #poem for my 2nd (yes, 2nd) book. Today, I'm discussing cover redesigns with a skilled book cover artist. #Writing this as a reminder to myself that I'm making the dream happen. Even if it doesn't always feel like it amongst the overwhelm of every-day #work and #parenting life.

Kids are with the inlaws. Popped out with husband to quickly run errands, and I snuck into a cafe to write. Let's see what a few precious minutes can bring ❤️ #writer #mom #momlife #poet #writercommunity #motherhood #poetry #author

Sanity check 👋 If you were given enough money to not have to work to sustain a comfortable life, what would you do with your time?

"I sit for a moment, in suspension between the pull to pick up my love & the grief of leaving this one behind. This is what I came to write about. But we never have time. A deep sigh. A deep smile. — #Motherhood as a #creative." ruthrostrup.substack.com/p/between-ba... #writer #mom #artist #poet

Feeling this today. From Mor(e) then motherhood. #booksky #motherhood #writer #mom #poem #poetry #mentalhealth #burnout #overthinking #overwhelm

Dragged my unwilling body out of bed this morning to do some writing before the rush of the day. My 5yr old wanted to read his book to me. #Creativity in #Motherhood can often feel like suspending your own words to invest in theirs 🤍

Writing is an incredible act of hope. Every word creates a future in which it might be read.

Guy sat next to me on the metro reading a book about "How to get rich" while I write a piece for my #antiwork, #anticapitalism book in the notes app on my phone. Now, if that's not poetic.

This is the year of not waiting for the "perfect" time to write. Baby napping, son playing, 10mins until dinner time. Let's see what can happen. #AmWriting #Writer #Poet #Motherhood #WritingCommunity #MomSky

Baby is napping. Pulling out my notebook from under a sleeping cat (who's hairball I was just cleaned from the floor...so picturesque). Let's see if any writing magic can happen in these fragile minutes. 📕💫
