Ursula K LeGuin has (I believe) two daughters.  Elizabeth, who lives in 
Berkeley most of the time, recently had a daughter herself.  Elizabeth
is a concert violist and an exceptional musician.  She claimed once to have
no interest in writing as a profession.  With two writing parents, and
a grandfather who was (I believe) also a writer, one would imagine that
it might be rather tiresome competing.
