Why I'm Not Writing 10/5
Welcome to "Why I'm Not Writing." We all know that the only thing writers like doing more than writing is avoiding writing. So every Friday I list five things that have distracted me from my writing that week.
I also encourage you to share with me what made you procrastinate this week by posting with #whyimnotwriting on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram, or share in the comments below. I'll feature my favorites with everyone here.
INDIE AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT
I'm still looking for authors to participate in my Indie Author Spotlight. This gives independently published authors the chance to have their book exposed to thousands of new readers every month. As this is our first month, your chances of being chosen will be much higher than any other month. So don't wait and check out my page!
By Word & By Line
Last weekend, I went to my first writer’s conference. I was able to learn a lot and get great feedback from agents and editors in the publishing industry. While I didn’t get the feedback I had hoped for, everyone was really helpful and encouraging. I’m looking forward to my next conference in November.
Hilda
My husband found this show on Netflix, and pitched it to me as a new Gravity Falls. So, of course, we had to binge watch it. This show was sweet, pure and empowering. Not to mention, the art is absolutely adorable.
Revisions
With the feedback I got over the weekend, I really had to buckle down this week to revise my first chapter and query letters. It took more time than I anticipated (partly because of the afforementioned Netflix show), but I’m really happy with the new opening scene I have
Happy Fall!
I’m about a week late in actually welcoming in the autumn season, but with my last couple of weeks being so crazy, I feel like I haven’t really had a chance to enjoy it. The weather here in North Carolina is still pretty warm, but all the cozy fall decorations and events are coming out. I’m extremely excited!
