Darling, write the book. Forget what others may think or say, not having a following or niche audience, advertising & promoting content, having a best seller, finding the perfect agent, editor, illustrator or publisher, word count & experience. Just write the story you dreamt of!
Note to self: Do not drink red wine when you're tired after a night of writing, then accidentally add your ex to a group chat, and then voice note random gibberish that no one other than your girls should ever hear!
