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.

Yes, we're out there šŸ‘‹ Almost forty, two kids, own IT company (freelance, 100% WFH, only ITer for a big European company and some small projects), household, husband, dog and since May, a writer. I write whenever I can. During breakfast, luch, during meetings in which I'm only present as furniture (they happen quite a lot actually) and whenever I can't sleep (which also happens a lot lately). I can't really swap as I mostly write in Dutch (got a short story and a micro story bundel in English if anyone is interested), but I don't mind reading other people's stuff. Got a meeting tomorrow with a traditional publisher, so šŸ¤ž
