As you all know, I sometimes find myself in conversations with The family in Hawaiiwriters and I will cut them off in mid-sentence and say "Please write about this for the blog community!" Well, last week, was one of those occaisions. I was talking to Renee Simms about how she manages her full and busy like. She works, she goes to school, she writes fiction and poetry, she has two kids, and husband... You get the idea. She started explaining and then I asked her to write us a guest post.

But before she tells us her secret, here is a little biographical info: Renee Simms' work appears in North American Review, Inkwell, African Voices, Voices from Leimert Park, and elsewhere. Her awards include a Cave Canem fellowship, a Voices of our Nations Arts fellowship, and a PEN Center Emerging Voices fellowship. She's taught creative writing to middle and high school students in Los Angeles and Phoenix. This fall, she will teach at Arizona State University.
