The Grandchild is a Grand Child…

…But having an infant in the house sure isn’t good for writers’ productivity.

Yes, you read that correctly. We have the nerve to blame our own shortcomings on the cutest human on Earth, who has done absolutely nothing wrong.

We thought we knew what we were getting into when we agreed to watch the grandkid during the week. We had plans for shifting our schedule around and showing a resilient dedication to our craft. But it turns out that caring for an infant makes us tired. Too tired to write, evidently. We think we’re getting used to the new normal, though.

A writing partner is someone who doesn’t make you change all the diapers.
