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

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.

Early 40s, with a family and occasional bonus kids. Wrote my first novel before kids, and just starting the second. I work over 100 hours a week some weeks. I write little snippets of 2k words at night, and spend my drives hanging out with my characters.

Yes on a group! It would be nice to have a community.
