Two of my favorite bloggers, Galit and Nicole, have teamed together and come up with a lovely writing meme. I found out about it at the last minute and this has been a crazy week, but I wanted to participate: Why do you blog? What can you not keep quiet about? What legacy do you hope to leave with your words and your voice and your heart?  Read more >

A lot of bloggers have been sharing lists of their favorite or most popular posts from the year. I liked the idea of taking a look back, for myself more than anything. It was nice to review my posts and see what all I have been writing about this year; it brought me a nice sense of accomplishment.One of the reasons I picked the posts I did was because I felt they give the reader a sense of who I am - and share important information about my family. If all you were to read were these five posts, I hope you would feel you had gotten to know a bit about me.  Read more >

The other day, someone said to me, "You don't think SB will turn out to be a t-o-m-b-o-y, do you?"She actually spelled the word out. As if it was so terrible she could not stand to utter it. Or perhaps, if SB heard the word, she would be doomed to become one.At the time, SB was playing with a doll and wearing a pink tutu. I have no idea what prompted the question.I was so flummoxed, I could not come up with a decent response. What I should have said was, "SB will be whatever she wants to be. And I will love her and accept her."  Read more >

We are very lucky. SB is an excellent sleeper. Sure, we have the occasional issue, but on the whole she sleeps very well. And we do count our blessings. In the beginning, she was in our bedroom. She slept in her crib most of the time, at the foot of our bed. We made that decision for many reasons, and it was an arrangement that worked well for us. Eventually, we made the decision to move her to her own room upstairs. And that has worked very well, too. It was an easy transition, and one we have never questioned making.   Read more >

The Writer Revived

Being a mom & a writer

Information

Full Name
Elizabeth Flora Ross
Member Since

About Me: 



I'm a wife and mom to a toddler. Recently rediscovered my passion for writing and have jumped in head first. I am currently working on my second book, an original look at moms and motherhood. On a quest to get it published. 


You can look to the right to see a list of topics I have blogged about. But basically it boils down to two things: being a mom and being a writer. I post on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This blog is meant to be a discussion, so be sure to chime in. 


I became a mom in 2008, at the age of (ack!) 40. My daughter is the light of my life. She's amazing. She's also challenging, and being home with her full time is the hardest "job" I've ever had. But I wouldn't change a thing.


I have been writing professionally and personally for close to 20 years. As a communications and marketing professional from 1993-2009, I wrote for some of the biggest names in business. I self-published my first book, Making Friends with Pain: Learning to Live Well with Chronic Illness, in 1999. From 2003-2006, I wrote a web column for the Florida Times Union. In 2005-2006, I wrote for Jacksonville Magazine as a freelance writer.


Thank you for visiting! I'd love to hear from you. You can contact me via email at thewriterrevived (at) gmail (dot) com. Join me on Facebook and Twitter so we can connect. And if you haven't already, be sure to visit my website!
