I’ve got a couple amazing links for you today.
First is Barbara Rogan talking about premature
submission. Not only is it a well
written post with a lot of info to help make sure you don’t succumb to this
malady it’s a fun read.
Next is Kiersten White talking about motherhood and
writing. I’m sure you guys could still
enjoy this as you have things to balance in your life too. I love, love love this post. I love how she says you’ll never be
completely balanced. Because you never
will be. You’ll never be able to do everything you think you
should. I love that she says to be fully
present in whatever you’re working on and I love the last paragraph. I’ll let you read that on your own. Just know I wear the badge of pride.
Both of these posts came at times when I needed to hear them, therefore they really spoke to me. I hope they can help someone else out there.
Way cool. Off to check links now!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy them!
DeleteThanks for the links, Sara. I'm on my way!
ReplyDeleteHope they're useful!
DeleteJust read them both... they were... amazing. Serious. I've made the mistake of premature submission on both my querying novels... but i think that's because I didn't know any better... so really, I'm just learning and doing my best. :D Thanks SO MUCH for sharing, Sara!
DeleteGlad you liked them. We're all learning and doing our best which is why I try to share links when I've found them, to share the knowledge.
DeleteLove the post from Kiersten White. It pretty much sums up my life. Thanks for sharing the link.
ReplyDeleteYea, I thought there would be others who could connect with it. :)
DeleteWhile I can't relate to Kiersten White's motherhood, I'll admit to being a bit unbalanced. (Yes, that _is_ maniacal laughter you hear.) ; )
ReplyDeleteLol,lol,lol.
DeleteYou are a caretaker though, so you understand those demands on your time.
Glad you shared! I love when I can find some good, informative posts!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed them.
DeleteReally enjoyed the Premature Submission article. I'll have to add that link to my next Sunday Surfing post.
ReplyDeleteShe's an awesome author and it's a great blog.
DeleteKiersten's post was very honest... and a good reminder to stay true to your family, if nothing else!
ReplyDeleteI liked how she put her family first.
DeleteGreat links--it's sometimes hard to know when your manuscript is ready.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sara. :)
It is, I was hoping it would help people.
DeleteThank you for the links! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy.
DeleteThanks, these sound great. I think my first novel suffered from this ailment - not being ready. At the time I didn't have any awesome blog buddies to help out, lol!
ReplyDeleteBloggers are awesome that way! I can't imagine trying to get published without the help and info I find around the blogosphere.
DeleteThank you for the links. I had already read (and related to) Kiersten's post but I hadn't seen the premature submission post. I was so happy to read that post because I am such an impatient person and I could totally see myself submitting too early. I have that bookmarked now so that I can reference it as I get closer to querying.
ReplyDeleteI'm impatient too and I've been worried about premature submitting. Glad you found it useful.
DeleteThose topics seem extremely timely to me, Sarah. Thank you for the links!
ReplyDeleteHope they help. :)
