    DE is five years old. I can relate to that feeling of working on a project for years. It's difficult to quit, now that we're too invested in those stories.
    You should see through it, Sara. And publish it.

    It's honestly so motivating seeing writers react to their older things, be it vlogs or writing! Especially one that's so positive towards their old self.
    (Also not sure if I understood the issue correctly, but ctrl + a should highlight everything in a word document)

    • @SaraLubratt
      @SaraLubratt  3 года назад +1

      I think so too! I want to react to some of my older writing again soon as well.
      That is going to save me so much time in the future 😂 thank you

    A great trip down memory lane. I think the most valuable part of this video is that you have been persistent with this story and devoted as much energy to it as possible. This is one of the reasons why I find this RUclips channel very inspirational. Keep up the great work, and I have every confidence in your reaching publication one day!

    Baby Sarah 😭 who for some reason looks exactly the same as current Sarah (not that I'd expect you to age that much in 2yrs lol). I can feel your cringe during the video, yet I don't think your first blog was that bad! ❤ Honestly, you look like you are much more confident and comfortable in front of the camera, but you still have that same energy and aura about you - don't ever change (for the fame, when it hits you), we love your personality 💕

    It must be so fun to have these videos to look back on. How long is the current draft of DE, and have you determined which parts to use for book one vs. the later books? Can't wait to see your continued success!

    • @SaraLubratt
      @SaraLubratt  3 года назад +1

      It really is! Draft 3 of DE was 120k, not sure how long draft 4 will end up being. I have decided where the first book ends at the very least! And done a little bit of planning for books two and three. Thanks!

    I fell in love with your channel and your personality the day I watched that video, and it's been like this ever since. Please keep going, and let us partake in your writing journey. I love beeing part fo this. ^_^
    Lots of love from Germany! :-*
    PS: My recent victory: The revision of chapter 3 of my novel took more than a month. That wa partly due to work, but mostly because I skipped some things in the zero draft and npw had to rewrite pretty much everything, plot the whole country and its political structure, and figure out a side character's character arc and the romance involved. It was so much work - but it was so totally worth it, and now it's solid, and I laid a good foundation for all the politics-stuff to come in the rest of the series. But that only shows how "un-quantifiable" progress can be sometimes. ;-)

    I liked that video a lot, just seeing how you progress over time and wrote so many words!!! I still watch that video sometimes as it always reminds me "Progress is progress" (Which all your video does).
    Also, in word, there is an option for merging files into one. You can search on youtube and do that. It will help you a lot.

    I'm not even at 2,000 words in my fantasy epic. It's honestly motivating, but also a little disheartening that it will take me years to make it into a fantasy novel. How do you get past the impatience we authors can sometimes feel?

  • @thecosmicvalkyrie7145
    @thecosmicvalkyrie7145 3 года назад

    Will you be pursuing self publishing or the traditional route? I've been looking into word counts and the sources I've heard from said for first time publishers the word count should be under 125,000 max for fantasy novels or publishers won't be interested. Super excited I found your channel for help on this journey btw! 😊

    • @SaraLubratt
      @SaraLubratt  3 года назад +1

      Hi! I think that DE would best be suited for traditional publication but for future stories, it will depend on what I think would be the best publication route for them!
      Yeah, I've heard under 100k is best for a debut but I'm just telling myself the story as best I can and then after I've done that I will see what I can do to get it to fit trad pub standards...

      @thecosmicvalkyrie7145 3 года назад

      @@SaraLubratt I love that! Ive personally always loved longer fantasy novels, so I think you just inspired me to do the same! I found myself stressing over word count, but now I think I'll just write and see how it goes after. Either way I look forward to reading your novel one day! 😊

    • @SaraLubratt
      @SaraLubratt  3 года назад +1

      Thank you! But yeah, especially if you have not started to pursue publication yet, make sure the story is as good as you can get it, and then worry about what traditional publishers want!
