The Parent Files: 'For some reason, having kids made me realize that my job was really solid.' Author JennyeJackson tells CharlotteAlter how she wrote a bestselling novel during her kids' bathtime
while holding down her job as vice president and executive editor at Knopf and raising a two year old and a five year old.
Can you tell me a little bit about how the writing actually happened alongside raising these two young children? Then in the evenings, when I was done with my real job, I would join the kids eating dinner, and then put the kids in the bathtub. And while the kids were in the bath, I’d pour myself a huge glass of wine, and sit on the closed toilet lid with my laptop and write. And they would just be in the bath for an hour. And as long as the water stayed warmish, they were pretty much happy to stay in there. And I found that was also a great time for writing too.
There are so many people who feel as if there are things that they’ve always wanted to do in their lives, and then they find themselves with an established career and two young kids. And they think, ‘well, now I’m never going to get to do that thing.’ Were you ever in that headspace?
