The final writing retreat night and my trip home!!!! It was also so cool to have a meetup. Loved everyone there! I'll be sharing my EC haul and more tomorrow, hopefully!
Impressive! Loved all this! Especially how happy everyone was to see you at home again. That coffee shop looked amazing and yay on you meeting up with others! ❤❤❤
My face hurts! Because I smiled through the last two Vlogs, and I felt like I was in the EC store. Lol! I got teary-eyed at the end when the kids greeted you. Just beautiful. Congratulations on your word count!
I am so thankful that you shared this retreat with your anxiety morning. It really reiterated how much you can accomplish once you manage through the anxiety. Thank you for inspiring me!
Thank you for this comment Dawn! Sometimes I doubt whether to share it because there has been criticism that I'm ungrateful or not taking care of myself, doing too much etc. But the truth is that for some of us, anxiety is just part of life. I do not blame myself for it, but I am always hoping to heal my way through it, one day at a time.
Impressive! The writing retreats seem to be really good for productivity. Can't express enough how much fun the meet up was, it's so nice to have a community of like-minded people! Also nice to connect in real life.
Can you hear me cheering for you!!!! I look like an idiot jumping up and down in my kitchen!!!!!! You are so amazing. I'm so proud of you and happy for you!!!!!!!!! GO SARRAAAAAAAAAA
Congratulations Sarra!!!! 🎉🎉 I was on the stream the night you had the espresso and wrote all the words so I knew you were rocking it!! 😊 I’ve loved all these blogs and I love this community. I only found it towards the beginning of November but I can truly say it’s gotten me through Nano. You are such an inspiration. This is my very first Nano…I used it to try and relight the creative spark that had gone dormant the past 3 years. I’ve had a blast and even though it’s been hard it has also been worth it. I went past 40,000 yesterday and can see the light at the end of the tunnel!! Can’t wait to watch you cross the finish line!
Oh man! I recently moved back to NC from Shiner, TX (about 80 miles south of Austin). I totally would’ve made the trip to meet you! You are on a roll. Good job! ❤️
Girl, YESSS! I'm sitting here in my office literally cheering every addition to your word count! Congratulations!!!! I'm so excited for and proud of you. You're such an inspiration!
oh my word that looked so Amazing, coffee with the "Hearties" 🤩 One day that will be me! Thank you for taking time from your uber busy work/writing schedule to meet up with them..... I'm there in spirit 😂
I’m proud of you! ❤ I love that you are happy. Loved seeing the kids greet you. Thanks for the time and energy that went into this video. Love watching your channel.
🎉 excellent result. I have to thank you for introducing me to note cards, a real game changer for me, I find I write more confidently after I’ve made notes on each chapter 😊
Amazing!!! 👏👏👏👏 cheering so much for you. When i think back to last year’s Nano and how stressed and disappointed and anxious you were, especially on your retreat… well, seeing you smashing it, but more importantly having fun and smiling makes my little heart burst with joy! 💕
Sarra, this is SO AWESOME!! Great work!! Your positive energy must have been in the air this weekend because I got my highest word count per sprint ever. Absolutely cheering!
Congratulations!!! I'm so thrilled for you. I've enjoyed the daily vlogs and your journey this past month!!! Yay, have a wonderful weekend and Happy Thanksgiving.
Hey Sarra!! So happy to see Part 2 of your writing retreat !!! Well DONE, you did it!! Now for the last stretch for the win 🏆 Love it that EC came to the rescue with their wet erase marker 😅❣️ Wish you well for the rest of this week. Can’t wait for EC haul💜
@@HeartBreathings Awesome I am fairly new to your channel someone recommended it to me when I was planning for NaNoWrimo this year which is my 2nd year.
Woohoo!!! You have made it!!! You have finally caught up!!! At this rate, you will definitely finish by November 30th. Keep going, you can do it! Though, you have to keep in mind that Thanksgiving day is right around the corner, and factor that into the day. But so far so good. It really looks like you will have a new novel complete by November 30th, and then after that, you will just have to edit and revise and proofread. Then, you can shop around for a literary agent and seek a publisher, or go the self-publishing route. The choice is yours. Congratulations!

Do you only do sprints on your site during NaNoWrimo?
No we do them all year!
@@HeartBreathings Awesome I am fairly new to your channel someone recommended it to me when I was planning for NaNoWrimo this year which is my 2nd year.
💗💗💗
We’re you suppose to show what you purchased at EC
I hit 10,025 today which was my goal for this session.
Amazing!
Woohoo!!! You have made it!!!
You have finally caught up!!!
At this rate, you will definitely finish by November 30th.
Keep going, you can do it!
Though, you have to keep in mind that Thanksgiving day is right around the corner, and factor that into the day.
But so far so good.
It really looks like you will have a new novel complete by November 30th, and then after that, you will just have to edit and revise and proofread. Then, you can shop around for a literary agent and seek a publisher, or go the self-publishing route.
The choice is yours. Congratulations!
Thank you! I have been self publishing since 2010 with almost 30 novels, so I plan to keep moving forward on that route!
Who were all those authors
Members of our RUclips community who came out to meet up with me!
Boy theres a real party… looks like the 1/4 pounder club.
Wow! Congrats on the 15K retreat. You rock, girl! 🪨🪨🪨
