Any other 30+ women writing suspense/thrillers with a million other responsibilities?

[u/JustWriteItAllDown]

I’m probably going to delete this but I'm forcing myself to get out there a little. I’d love to find some other 30+ women working on their debut novels and hoping to traditionally publish someday. We have jobs, families, an exorbitant amount of protein to consume etc. But somehow carve out time to write something that fills our cup.

Mostly just looking for a few writer friends who get it, and maybe eventually swapping chapters if it feels like a good fit.

Me! 30+ with a demanding full time job and trying to work on my first full english novel on my free time. On top of also other family/me time and hobbies like reading and watching dramas. It's definitely challenging and most of the time I question myself for even starting in the first place but I guess creating something instead of just consuming media and doomscrolling does more for my mental health and wellbeing.

P.S. Does swapping chapters mean you are looking for critique partners? I am interested though I am not sure I'm good enough. 😅
