Sunday Post & Giveaways Galore – 11/5/17

Posted November 5, 2017 by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction in Sunday Post / 26 Comments

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on my blog and share news about what’s coming up in the week ahead.

This past week on FYFA (and in my life):

I decided last minute to do NaNo again this year, so that’s why I sort of disappeared right around the 1st. I also made the decision to set my editing aside for the foreseeable future so I can focus on my own writing. I just realized that there’s no way I can manage homeschooling (and teaching co-op classes), writing and editing.

Speaking of my writing, yesterday I attended a SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers of Illinois) publishing conference. It was both amazing and overwhelmingly daunting. I got more feedback on the first ten pages of my manuscript (which is what I’d be submitting to editors and agents) and figured out some things I need to address. Nailing the MG voice is the hardest part, and it’s something I need to focus on.

Here’s what you may have missed on the blog this past week:

Next week on FYFA:

  • The October Wrap-Up Round-Up Make Me Read It Giveaway
  • The First Kiss Hypothesis by Christina Mandelski: Review

  1. That’s great that you’re doing NaNo and just generally working on your own writing. I hope that setting aside editing for the moment will really help you in the long run!! 🙂

  2. Aw yay I’m so excited for you to do NaNo! I’m sure you are going to do great. I’m glad you got the chance to talk with other authors too, I imagine that’s a great experience. The MG voice does seem like it’d be hard to do, but I know you can definitely nail it ? And thanks for linking to my giveaway nonsense, you’re too sweet!

  3. I’m glad you’re getting more and more feedback for your writing! I need to address my own writing. But again, where is the time? Good luck with your writing this month! I hope you accomplish a lot.

  4. Good luck with NaNo this year. It’s good to focus on your writing, there is only so much you can do in any given day and you already do quite a lot so making this decision to focus on writing and set aside editing for a while is a smart choice. if writing is what you want to be doing you have to prioritise it.

    Hope you have a good week and good luck writing.

    Wishing you lots of luck with NaNo! And I’m looking forward seeing what you think of The November Girl. I kept going back and forth on whether I should request,so I ended up passing on it. BUT I’m wondering if that was a bad decision lol. Can’t wait to see your thoughts!
