Sure, but you’ve already had a kid before. You already know the important stuff, like take the epidural (or not; totally a personal thing, I understand, because if you’re going to pass a watermelon you want to enjoy every minute of it, yes? [okay, both my wives agree I would have been an incredibly awful coach in the delivery room—assuming I didn’t pass out from the blood]).

BUT YOU ONLY GET TO BE A PUBLISHED WRITER FOR THE FIRST TIME ONCE. Even if your stuff has had the living crap edited out of it, it’s still pretty cool.
