You've inspired me to keep going on my book, thank you!!
I'm so glad! Thank you!
Literally me rn with my attention span. I try to give myself little incentives so that I get back on track lol sometimes it's hard. But I used to dogear my book, but now that I have cute bookmarks, I use those.
Yeah incentives are necessary! I love cute bookmarks!
Great vlog! Congrats on finishing draft 2🎉🎉 also your parents supporting and cheering you in when you finished the draft is the wholesome content I need haha
Thank you! And yeah 🥰 they really support me in my writing and I'm super grateful for it!
I feel you with the sleeping problems, hope they continue to improve! I'm always looking forward to your videos, so thanks for posting.
Aw thank you Maria! And they have been getting better :)
Congrats on finishing that second draft, it's so satisfying to see other writers making serious headway on their projects. You've completely re-motivated me to hit my word goal for today. :)
Hey that's so sweet, thank you! Smash through those words! You got this :)
I am beginning my journey as a writer and I am new to your channel, and it seems I am gonna watch you a lot these upcoming days, cause I really like your videos ❤ your calm voice and the way you talk and shoot the vlogs, i just like it ❤ keep up being awesome
Thank you, Ahmad!!
I love coming across new writing channels 🥰 really excited to follow along:)
Thanks Viv! Happy to have you here!
Bookmarks!!! Dog ears are the worst, it's practically heresy! :-D (I am a historian who worked in a library for several years, I'm allowed to think and talk like this. ^_^)
I've started reading the Priory, tool, it's amazing and so captivating. The huge hardcover book is a little hard to handle, though, doesn't lend itself well to reading in bed. But alas, sacrifices have to be made, LOL!
Lol I totally agree that books are sacred, I try to make super small dog ears but only after a page gets accidentally bent. I'm glad you're reading the book too!
Congrats!! Finishing that second draft is always fun!
Thank you!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Also, it's great to see you have a supportive family behind you. My attention span has been shot to pieces over the last 2 days, so I will get back on with my habit trackers. Looking forward to the point where you weave the two perspectives together. Monday's livestream was great for making story progress, looking forward to your 7am event (sadly, the 5PM one will be late night my time). Great video!
Thank you! And yeah, I'm so grateful that my parents support my writing. You can always watch the 5pm event later, I'll be leaving it up!
Congratulation, that's such a big accomplishment!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations! I think the live in this vlog was the one I got on for a little bit! If so, it was great!!
Thank you, and yeah I think you were! Thanks for joining the live!
Such a fun video!! I’m so excited for you to get 1000 subs!
Thank you so much!!
Congrats! That's a big jump between drafts! Also your hair is so thick and prettyyy
Thanks Adele! Love your channel, thanks for venturing over here!
Hi Sara! Congratulations on finishing your second draft! So exciting!
Excited to hear what your next project might be. I keep having to miss your live streams, but hopefully one of these days I'll be able to pop in and sprint. Most of my writing has been getting done in the evening with a friend through video call, though, so, I might be doing other productive sprints instead. XD
Thank you! Writing with your friend on a video chat sounds so fun! I keep switching around times to do livestreams so hopefully one will work for you. Can I ask what timezone you are in so I can keep that in mind? Do evenings work better for you?
@@SaraLubratt It really is! And it's been more productive than me writing trying to write by myself. Even if this means we stay up until 3am writing... XD
I'm in EDT. No need to change around just because of me though. It's mostly just knowing a few days in advance so I can plan around attending a live stream. And weekdays work better. Each day is different, so it's mostly just a manner of time scheduling the various things I want to get done in a day.
@@gailc.m.victor Cool! I just wanted to ask because I'm trying to make my livestream times work for as many people as possible, but I've been switching around the times so far and I think I will continue experimenting for a little while!
@@SaraLubratt Gotcha! No yeah, that makes sense. I've just fallen into a sort of schedule with being at home all the time, so it's hard to say what "schedule" would be best. Especially since I don't know what my schedule will be like when I go back to working, or even when. So, I suppose, afternoon/evenings, in general? And just knowing something is coming so I can block that time out. I also really enjoy watching the replays at my own pace, so there's that too.
@@gailc.m.victor Ok awesome!
Congrats on finishing the second draft!!I’m not sure if I’m seeing things or not, but I could have sworn I just saw your subscriber count jumped by 9 people while I watched the video. Either way, incredible progress you’re making. Keep it up Sara!
Thanks Jimmy!
Congrats on finishing draft two.
Thank you so much!
Aw your parents saying congrats was so cute!
So excited for you that you've finished your second draft :) I reallyyyy hope to be in that position soon...at least this year haha!
I also feel you on having to fix your sleeping pattern. I recently went back to work and it killed me getting up at 6am when I had been going to bed at 5am lol.
Right? They're so supportive and I'm so grateful for it. You'll get there, it's all a process and you're getting closer every day! That's crazy early XD
I always feel like I have no attention span. Haha it’s great that you can push yourself through that though.
It took me a while but I've finally learned tricks to help me!
I have never once been inspired to learn math XD
I was so confused that night! It's such an inspiring movie!
Hidden Figures was sooooo good! Also, I'm on the edge of my seat... did the tree survive? Great vlog and a huge CONGRATULATIONS!! :D
Hahahaha yes the tree made it and it's getting moved to a bigger pot today so it will be happy! Thank you!
Great video
Thank you!
Most of the time I use neither a bookmark or a dogear and I get to play the fun game of figuring out where I was in the book. Even if I try to use a bookmark I forget at least half the time to put it in so I still lose my spot XD
Hahahahaha oh my gosh! That's so funny!
I don't know why, but all your videos make me want to be productive and help me to actually study for my finals. They also make me want to start writing again after months of not doing anything in that direction
Oh my gosh thank you! That's the biggest compliment you could have given me, that's the goal with my channel is to be productive and inspire productivity! :)
❤️❤️❤️

Hey Sara. I was just watching your video post here, and would like to ask you what software you use when writing your book? And I'm curious if you have been checked for sleep apnea since you were talking about issues with your sleep patterns? And "Slid" is a real word but depends on a sentence to use the word in, just like other words which some people forget to use that should have been. Plus, your family has a nice house from this video.
That's so exciting! Congrats on finishing draft two! Im so a bookmark person, I like to keep my books in as pristine condition as possible, no even cracking on the spine. Also random question, how do you outline your timeline? I need to do that for my story and I was using the free trial of Aeon Timeline but didn't end up getting it so now I don't know where to start haha
Thank you! I did my timeline roughly using maps and JK Rowling's outlining method. I talk about it in this video: ruclips.net/video/9cgyzMWY_9M/видео.html but I used her format to figure out what happened where and over how long a timespan!
@@SaraLubratt oh yeah I saw that! how would you format it/keep it organized?
@@LifeofAngelina I did it in groupings of 2-4 weeks because my characters did a lot of traveling. I'm assuming I'll run into some issues fixing it when I weave the POVs together but I've been able to have a good concept of time so far, but that's just how I did it.
@@SaraLubratt oh okay. thanks for answering all my questions!
@@LifeofAngelina Absolutely!
I'm currently in chapter 13 of writing and have come up with more to add. But first I wanted to finish it out and then go back and add more and fixing everything. But i'm not sure what to do. Cause I feel like if I go back I won't know what to do but if I finish it then add everything and fix the timeline and edit I feel more knowing of the book. And I know its normal to write in different orders for some authors but I want your opinion. Also how do you find time for reading? I try to cut my time for both but then the book is so amazing and I can't put it down and I leave my book.
After finishing two rough drafts, I think that getting your ideas down is the most important. They won't be perfect and you'll have more to add, but that's the beauty of the first draft! And about reading, I have only been getting back into reading recently after a long dry spell. I read when I want to read and write when I don't feel like reading lol. I also read in the evenings or when I'm outside mostly and that's a good way to separate it.
10 months late to the party, but congrats on finishing the second draft!
Ohh Idk why, but I can't dog ear my books, probably because I read a lot of used books and markings can get confusing/annoying when multiple people have done them in the book
Thank you!! That totally makes sense, I just get so annoyed when bookmarks fall out 😂
@sara I'm pretty sure I learned the proper inflection for saying "sh*t" in frustration back in second grade from how often that happened to me 😂
@@Maxspare HAHAHAHAHA oh my gosh 😂
What is the best way to get feedback?
On your writing? I would recommend joining a writing group (whether virtual or in person)! They do writing exchanges where you look at someone else's writing and they look at yours.
How long have you been working on Project DE? I've been working on Teenage Heroes since January 1st, this year, so 5 months.
I've been working on it since July of 2016, so almost 4 years I believe. But I started with rough drafting the whole series, not just the first book, and then I stopped doing that when I was about 260,000 words into it.
@@SaraLubratt 4 YEARS?? WOW. I don't think I could stick with a book that long
@@SaraLubratt What made you stay with it for so long??
@@kenanlancaster 😂 I've tried switching away from it a few times but it always comes back, I can't get away from it!
