Let’s make today’s community stronger by learning about one another. 👇 In the comments, tell us ONE of these: 1. Your writing stage (idea / first draft / editing / stuck) 2. Your biggest win so far 3. One thing slowing you down right now Example: “I’m drafting chapter 2 and feeling excited but stuck on character voices.” No need to be perfect. Just share what’s real for you today.

They wait until they feel ready. Ready to write Ready to be confident Ready to know it is good That moment almost never comes. Every successful children’s book author I know started before they felt ready. Including me. Clarity comes from writing, not from thinking about writing. Confidence comes from finishing, not from planning. Skill comes from drafts, not from waiting. So here is today’s simple action: Write one page of your children’s book today. Not the whole story. Not the perfect version. Just one page. If you already have a draft, rewrite one page and make it clearer for a child. Drop a comment with: “I wrote my page” or “I rewrote my page” No judgment. No feedback unless you ask for it. Just momentum. Progress beats perfection every single time.

Quick check in before the day ends. If you stripped away publishing, money, and validation for a second and wrote purely for impact, who would you be writing for right now? A child who feels unseen A parent who feels overwhelmed A kid who needs confidence Or maybe your own younger self… Comment with just one sentence: “I would write for ______ because ______.” No overthinking. Trust your gut. I’ll reply to all of these personally.

If you’re here, chances are you’ve been carrying a children’s book inside you, and you’re not quite sure what the next step is. This is a calm, supportive space for writers at any stage of the process…from idea to draft to published but stuck. There’s no pressure here. No rushing. No “do it this way or else.” We focus on clarity, honesty, and small steps that actually move the work forward If you’d like to start, a simple place is this: 👉 Introduce yourself and share what stage your book is in — even if that feels messy or unfinished. You’re welcome exactly as you are.
