We're the same person. Well, there's probably a lot of this type of person. I'm on board with this approach and kind of don't have a choice (first babby dropping next week), but I have to ask myself what distinguishes the writer that is able to write productively from within the chaos?
When we found out about babby, I started submitting work for the first time even though I've been writing without submitting for many years. I do wish I'd started earlier.
First off: congrats on the little one! That's a beautiful thing man. As for your question: I think you've already distinguished yourself as the sort of person who takes up the call by starting to submit. Seems like you already feel the fire under your feet, which is a good thing---at least I think so. I responded the same way when my kid was about to be born and when he was, I also regretted wasting time too, briefly, but then I was so busy cleaning diapers and being sleep deprived that I didn't have time to worry about that anymore. Sounds to me like you're going to be alright man.
You could hardly be drawing on better sources. :)
I thought so, too!

I’m with you man!
Damn right
As a lame AF 43-year-old dad, I can corroborate this approach.
Lame dads unite!
Thanks for the link, Andrew.
My pleasure.
