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):
- Writing: I’m really trying hard to get this draft of my book finished and sent off to critique partners so I can get it to my agent. I’ve been good about writing every weekday.
- First swim meet. Danielle had her first (senior year!) swim meet yesterday. She’s dropped time since last year, so she’s happy!
- What I Read:
- I started reading The Witch Haven by Sasha Peyton Smith.
- I continued listening to Supernova by Marissa Meyer.
- TV We Watched:
- The final season of Supernatural. We have THREE episodes left. Three.
- The Amazing Race. Still watching this one too!
Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post:

Sound like you’re doing good with writing, good luck! I’ve never watched Supernatural but I’ve heard good things.
I hope the school year goes well and you get your writing sent off for the next phase.

Good luck with the writing and have a nice week! 🙂
Aww, thanks for sharing my post. It was fun to collaborate with Nicci. I need to do more of that. Good luck with the writing. I am here, cheering you on. Way to go, Danielle! I can’t imagine her training this past year was easy to accomplish, so it’s impressive she improved on her times.
That’s great for Danielle! Hope the school year goes well for all the kiddos! And eeep!! Only 3 episodes left?! Things realllllly shake up in these last few.
Yay for not adding to the TBR pile! Hope you enjoy your week ahead!
Here’s my StS

Sounds like a good week. I hope you like the finale of Supernatural.
Good luck with keeping your writing on track!
The last season of Supernatural is finally airing in Italy (it’s just started). I’m not ready to let the boys go – not to mention Castiel…?
