mulling over
An interesting piece about creating art while there are children about and defying that whole notion that once the kids show up -that's it in terms of creativity. Obviously finding the time isn't always so straight forward but I suppose people find ways. A common theme is just bringing the kids along or make them a part of what you are doing. I spent a lot of my formative years in theaters watching my Mother rehearse. Sometimes we would end up in shows.

Anne Tyler (who wrote Accidental Tourist, which I did enjoy) was able to find the time when her kids went to school. Her hours were 8:30-3:30 for writing. J.K. Rowling comes to mind easily as well as other people.
The trick is in the juggle -- don't let one take over everything.
Of course, I have one kid. Wait until I have two. Then my brain may turn to pudding.
