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.
