Lisa Garrigues’ new bookfrom Scribner, Writing Motherhood  helps moms who want to write about their experiences.

She recommends spending 15 minutes a day setting down your thoughts in a special notebook. That’s all it takes.

A mother, writer, and English teacher, Garrigues believes that it’s never too late to start writing about being a mother. You don’t have to do it when your child is a baby. There’s plenty to write about as they get older.

 The book has a list of 99 writing “starts," ways to help moms get started in their journals.
