Why I'm Not Writing This Week 11/8
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.
Day Light Savings Time Ends
We got an extra hour of sleep last weekend, which sounded great in theory, but I’m still running on a pre-time change schedule. I’ve been falling asleep before 10pm every evening and waking up before the sun. It’s been an exhausting week, to say the least.
North Carolina Writers Network Conference
This weekend I’m in Asheville for the North Carolina Writers Network Fall conference. This is a smaller group than my SCBWI conference in Charlotte, but is still a great and valuable conference for meeting professionals and learning more about writing. I always leave with more inspiration and excitement.
The Good Place season 4
We’re already seven episodes into the fourth and final season of the television masterpiece that is The Good Place. I know I’ve said this before, but if you haven’t watched this show, you are missing out. It’s funny, heart-felt and, somehow, also educational.
NaNoWriMo
We’re a week into NaNoWriMo and things are going VERY well so far. I’ve hit 25,000 words and hope to be finished by next Friday. If this is your first year doing NaNo, or if you’ve struggled to win in the past, check out my social media channels on Twitter , Facebook and Instagram for daily tips and tricks to help you crush your word count.
Big Announcements Coming Soon!
Big changes are coming to SarahFoil.com soon. I’m excited for this transition and hope you will be too. I’ll be making an announcement on Tuesday, November 26th so stay tuned.
