Most people do not fail at writing a children’s book because of talent. They quit at the moment they realize writing the story is only about 30 percent of the journey. The real drop off happens when people hit one of these moments Not knowing if their idea is good enough Overthinking age range and word count Getting stuck on how publishing actually works Feeling silly saying out loud that they want to be an author If you have ever stalled at any of those points, comment ME below. You are not behind. You are exactly where almost every published author once stood.

In one sentence, tell us what made you fall in love with children’s books as a kid and which book you still remember most and why.

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.

I met with an illustrator yesterday! We are moving forward with the development of the main character to see if we can capture my vision and the mood of the book. It is actually happening!

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.
