i was feeling frustrated because i couldn't write it all and i was like, i'm only a caretaker. so i like have a very understanding editor and she was like she said, yeah, i mean i was joking to my husband that i'm gonna have to quit my job because i can't do it all so we like pushed it back basically in the end by a year.Īnd you know, one of the seeds was that i was like at the beginning of the pandemic. and then my children were just home with me for like four months straight and i was within 24/7 and i mean it only took a month for me to realize there's no way i'm going to meet my deadline of july 2020. so i was trying to write this book and it wasn't going well and then the pandemic happened. i was like, i don't need i never thought that i would write a book about motherhood and i was like, i don't want to write another one not because it's not interesting to me but because the market thinks it's niche right like anything with like women's things like over here, and it's just you know, and and i felt like i wanted to not be pigeonholed. I mean relatable, right? so i that was kind of how it started and i was like, i don't want to my background is writing about food. so i was like, i better think of another book fast because in a year, they won't remember who i am and i was like, i just need to like grab it and i was also i should say like postpartum like four months postpartum and was just like, let me just empty myself until i'm a husk and like that seemed like the right thing to be doing and to see natural. i was like one night started to sell a little bit and when i was on fresh air, i was like, oh like i might they might let me publish another book, but i couldn't grew up always with this like scarcity mindset. my first book came in 2018 and because i didn't know what i was doing and i had like no platform and no audience. so i was actually under contract to write a second book. i never thought like it was like definitely going to happen. yeah, and how you manage to write it during the pandemic. Idea of this book came about because it's your second that kind of circles around motherhood.
