15 months ago I started writing a book.

No perfect schedule. No perfect routine. No “right time”. (These don’t exist when you have kids…🤪)

But this weekend, I finished draft two 🥹

If you’be been waiting for the “right time” to start writing…

This it it.

Just start. You’ll figure the rest out along the way 🫶

Finishing draft two while raising kids is a huge achievement! I love the reminder that progress does not require perfect conditions, just showing up when you can. Did the second draft reveal anything about your story that surprised you?

@thealexisquin I came across your page and really love what I see your writing has the kind of creativity that could bring a children’s adventure to life. Have you ever thought of turning this moment into a children’s storybook?

Draft two is a huge milestone, especially without a perfect routine. I’m curious, what changed most between your first and second drafts?

Finishing a second draft while raising kids is no small achievement. What kept you going on the days when writing felt impossible?

Every writer knows their story by heart. I enjoy reading it the way your future readers will with fresh eyes, honest reactions, and thoughtful notes along the way. If you're still looking for a beta reader, I'd love to hear about your project. What genre are you writing, and are you looking for feedback on the whole manuscript or a specific area like pacing, characters, or dialogue?
