Starting a new page when I already have one waiting approval

I have written one draft page which is awaiting approval and is still in my sandbox. I want to start another new page on a different person. How can I do it without writing over the existing page?

- Wikipedia pages are named based on the URL. At the moment User:BMacmillan/sandbox is just a redirect, so you could edit that page directly if you wanted, but you could also create User:BMacmillan/sandbox2 or User:BMacmillan/Name of person. As a third option, you could use the Article Wizard to create a page directly in the Draft space (doing this will also automatically add the "submit your draft" templates). If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.

- (edit conflict) The draft has since been moved to Draft:Marc Di Saverio, leaving your sandbox to redirect to the draft. I'll remove the redirect so you can re-use your sandbox (while the Di Saverio draft will remain unaffected, awaiting a review under its current title). Huon (talk) 21:07, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
Where's my user page? I've been on for 4+ days and done many edits.
I started my new Wikipedia account five days ago. In that time I have submitted two pages for approval - and done numerous edits on each. One has been redirected (I'm not sure what that means) and the other is in my sandbox#2. The first one (redirect) is publicly accessible though still in draft form. The second is not publicly accessible. I don't quite understand why it has worked that way.
Two users have very kindly helped me. I can see their messages fine, but can see no possible way to reply to say thanks. Minor point I guess.
Anyway, my main question: when I log in, it tells me my user page does not yet exist. It's been five days and probably at least 2 dozen edits cumulatively over the 2 pages. I have met both thresholds as far as I can see. What is the problem?
