Maybe all it’s energy helps writing :).
For a few years after Devyn started walking/running, I didn’t write much at all until Matthew was 2, then only a little more. Not until Matthew was 5 did I really think I could get anything down. I would tell others and myself that I was gathering material by focusing on my life as it is rather than writing. I believe that waiting time has made writing easier, better :).

I am excited to find out they share some common attitudes and practices. One of them is that no matter what topic you want to write, you need time for writing as well as for research. So maybe you can consider that the moments with your little men could be the research time, if you want to write about life. And the few quiet hours in the early morning or late night are for writing.
Oh, one more thing, many of them write in their dining tables. Dining table is my favorite corner too!
