Ollibobs, "Is it possible that life "after baby" can be similar to life "before baby"
I take it this is your first? The answer is that life after baby is very different to life before baby. But does that mean writing an ebook is impossible? No, not necessarily!
However, this is really important IMO, if you are going to do work (even freelance, at home work) you need childcare. That could well be an informal arrangement (e.g.) DP taking the baby for a couple of hours at a time, or something more formal like a nanny.
People do not take their 4 month old babies to the office and expect to be able to work, so why do we expect we can do the same at home? I know I did for some reason. I took on some freelance when DS was 5 months. A week later, I was completely stressed and had acheived nothing, I had to admit defeat! This time round if I do any freelance while the baby is little, i'll definitely arrange childcare.
That's not to say it's impossible without childcare for everyone, I know there are people who manage it, but they must have amazingly calm
babies and have some kind of super powers IMO as there's no way most mere mortals could juggle a young baby and work without childcare IMO!
Also worth giving yourself some proper time with your baby before you start worrying about it. In the first weeks, managing to have a shower and maybw get as far as the corner shop while looking after your newborn are major achievements IMO! Writing a book? Forget it, that comes later!
How much time do you think you'll need to write it, realistically?
Not trying to put you off btw, just trying to help with logistics!
This reminds me of the essay [[http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/w/woolf/virginia/w91r/ A Room
of One's Own]] by Virginia Wolfe, btw, do you know it?
