Just before opening RUclips, I took a coin and flipped it to figure out whether I should participate this year or not (yes, that is how I make a lot of decisions when I'm in a fix); and the coin said I should. I opened RUclips, and this video is the first thing I see.....
I love the tip about doing writing sprints and taking breaks to be physically productive. Helps writing, keeping the brain fresh, and getting other chores done at the same time. I'll definitely be trying this out
Hey Sara! I published a book yesterday, got my first paperback copy today! I just wanted to say that you are a huge inspiration for me and I am using these tips to write the companion novel I have planned (which I am already 11,000 words into)
11:40 OMG. This is the best. I couldn’t stop laughing,… in a good way ;) it reminded me of the Trolls movie when Bridget has the happiest day of her life, “I’m so excited I could just scream” and she whisper screams. Lol. “That’s your happy shout?!” You da bomb girl!
Great set of tips! I definitely need to take advantage of every moment next month (SAHD with 3 kids) and remember that every moment counts. So far the last 2 years I've managed 50,000 words in... 3 months starting in November. We'll see what I can manage this year.
I have written one book so far, this will be my second. I technically have like 4 books in progress and I have like 12 fully outlined stories. I am super excited to participate in NaNo this year.
Thank you for the tips 😊 i just did some writing and it feels great 👍 can't wait to get to November and start working on my NaNo project 😃 for editing as you go, you might consider just make notes as you go in your notebook if you need to make any changes later.
I often found myself stuck at how to make story grow. I can rapidly write a short scene in a paragraph around 100-200 words, but to grow the story, that's currently biggest problem for me.
Haha, I love your celebration!! I've been trying to get better at this for myself, to celebrate my small wins and big wins because I don't usually. I usually process it late.
These tips were very helpful! I love your celebration dance, I think I'll have to do something like that myself. I finished my 50k goal last year for the first time after trying for ten years, but I didn't do little rewards for myself, and you're the second person I've seen have that as a tip in the last week so I'm feeling like that's something that needs to happen this year!
These are great tips! I love the idea of buying a book for yourself as a reward. I love buying books, but I never thought about it as a reward for writing. I always need reasons to buy books! Good luck with Nano! I’m doing it, too! 💜
Great tips. I tend to not follow a specific word count. I'm kind of a splurge writer, where I don't write for a while, and then do a few very productive days.
Thank you for all the time you put on offering valuable info and personal inspiration in an art so gorgeous as writing. The celebration dance is so cool by the way🧡🤣👏👏👏
I didn't even know that NaNoWriMo existed. Thank you for this video, giving me the tips and tricks to write my first draft! I'm half way through a novel I've been writing for 3 years. You gave me the inspiration to finish it entirely this coming month
Oh yeah, that Machete-Quote will make it into my Writing Bullet Journal :D Looking forward to NaNo and am going to figure out some rewards for myself :D Have a wonderful Preptober! Sending Love and creative vibes
Yes about the first draft being bad! I used to teach college English and literature, and I would assign Anne Lamott's chapter "Shitty First Drafts," from her book Bird by Bird. Same concept (but funny!).
Good afternoon, Sara! You look beautiful in the video, and I loved watching this vlog. Thanks for the advice you gave to inspire others who are doing NaNoWriMo this November including yourself. Have you thought of what story you're interested in doing, or is there a new story that you thought of instead? I'm going to be working on my story I'm already in the process of writing. Have a wonderful day and enjoy your week. Happy writing, planning, editing, or whatever. ❤
50k is officially for a novel but if you want to write 50k of poetry or challenge yourself with poetry, you can be a NaNo rebel and make up your own goal for November!

@@SaraLubratt Thank you!!!

You da bomb girl!
Idk why but I feel like this helps more than most of the 500 other times I’ve heard this type of advice so thank you 🙏
Aw thank you!!
Thank you for a nice tips :) "enjoy the ride" is the most important.
🙌❤️
Awesome video!! Thank you for the advice!! Im doing nanowrimo for the first time ever! Im so excited and scared at the same time lol
That’s so exciting!! You got this!
I’m about to embark upon this journey of sharing my life in the form of a book. That’s intimidating! I’m encouraged by seeing this video. So thank you
You can do this!

I appreciate this. I hit a huge slump on my book and a short character novel on one of my cast could really help get me back into it.
❤️
Haha, I love your celebration!! I've been trying to get better at this for myself, to celebrate my small wins and big wins because I don't usually. I usually process it late.
Yeah, it's amazing when you start celebrating all wins, even with a little celebration, it makes things really positive!
Your tips are not only useful for writing but overall being productive every day!
Thanks! And I agree they work for any time span :)
I love ur videos!😊
Thank you!!

Yes! It’s a great reward! Good luck and happy writing (and book shopping)!!
11:28 - 11:57 may be my favorite moment of all time on your channel hahaha!

Thank you for another motivated video! already feeling excited about November ☺️
Yay!! Thanks for watching!
Awesome Video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
your brain is awesome. these are great tips
Lol thank you!
Great tips. I tend to not follow a specific word count. I'm kind of a splurge writer, where I don't write for a while, and then do a few very productive days.
I love that!
Great advice, this was so helpful!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this! Great tips and just what I needed!
You are so welcome!
Getting that NaNoWriMo started early! I think I am going to do it this year, I just have so many projects that need finishing first :/
You could work on finishing a project during NaNo!
@@SaraLubrattGood idea.
Good to see you, my friend. Wishing you luck for NaNo .... I'm out for the count this year due to how packed my schedule is with other things.
Thanks! And that's totally fair, I still think November is one of the worst months for it to take place during
I so needed this! Thank youuuu!!
You're so welcome!

Have a wonderful Preptober! Sending Love and creative vibes
Sending you love and creative vibes back!
Hehe bookshelves 😏
Low key this has kind of convinced me to do NaNo honestly
It was about you 😂
And really?? That would be so fun if you did!!
This was helpful though I already wrote my book lol. I wrote my book in two months so a little more than 30 days lol
Amazing!
This was pretty inspiring.
Thanks for watching!
Yes about the first draft being bad! I used to teach college English and literature, and I would assign Anne Lamott's chapter "Shitty First Drafts," from her book Bird by Bird. Same concept (but funny!).
There is also a third option, seeing what others did on Nano and trying to use the advice to survive.
😂

Thought 3 when clicking, "oh...Sara has a new vid". Click.
❤️
I'm planning to finish one this month! Hoping to Crack 90k. I appreciate the tips.
Exciting!! You got this!
Hi Sara (: What camera do you use for your videos?
My iPhone 13 pro :)
Is nanowrimo only for novel writing? Can it be poetry?
50k is officially for a novel but if you want to write 50k of poetry or challenge yourself with poetry, you can be a NaNo rebel and make up your own goal for November!
How about editing a book in a month?
Lol I'm sure it's possible but I haven't done that yet
