I’m happy to announce the birth of another parenting blog, authored by Yours Truly. It’s on the Psychology Today website and it’s called “Outnumbered!” Seeing as it’s about my experiences being the parent of a larger-than-average family, I feel the title is more than appropriate. I plan to cover everything from childhood depression to seizures to the challenges of parenting a flock. I’m excited about this new venture, both because of the venue and because of the credibility it will lend me in my future endeavors as a parenting writer.

I knew from the moment I decided to become a freelance writer that one of my few true loves, writing-wise, is parenting. I absolutely love it. However, I was warned by many that the parenting field is very competitive and extremely flooded, so I decided to start in a less competitive genre to cut my teeth. As I had hoped, I did get some profitable work, as well as some great clips, by starting in agriculture.

As soon as I started writing this blog, nearly 2 years ago, I was hooked for life on being a parenting writer. The fodder for posts is infinite, plus I can honestly say that my passion for it is endless. All I want to do now is write children’s books and parenting essays, columns, books and blogs for a living. It is truly a joy.

My new blog is yet another stone on the path to reach this goal of writing in almost nothing but the aforementioned genres. I hope that I will see you over there, and if you’d be so kind as to leave a comment here and there, I’d be grateful.

And in case you were worried, I’ll still be posting here most weekdays. You can’t get rid of me that easily!
