I’ve written a book. An actual full-length legit book about my journey to motherhood! It’s based on this blog (which served as an excellent collection of notes), but I’ve woven in a few things I haven’t shared here. After all, the book has to be radically different from this blog, amiright?
Here’s the printed first draft — 92,740 words on 289 pages of Letter-sized (that’s pretty close to A4) paper:
Lots of editing still to do, but here’s the first draft!
Once I have finished editing the first draft, my plan is to share it with a few trusted writer friends to get their thoughts. After that, I will try and pitch it to a publisher! And if all else fails, I will self-publish.
It’s been a labour of love that I’ve been working hard on for five months, and I’m hoping I’ll soon be sharing more updates with you!
Im so proud of you for this big accomplishment!! Congratulations, have a glass of vino. I know it’s amazing already for a first draft. Well – done . Along with moving , motherhood, you’ve accomplished this now too.

Thank you! Currently editing the first draft and am wracked with self-doubt!
This is AMAZING. I’m so proud of you for completing this in the midst of motherhood and sleep deprivation. Not that I’m surprised! I can’t wait to see where the book goes.
Thank you, friend! You have been an integral part of this journey, even from afar, and I am dreaming of presenting you with a signed copy <3
