Sara: Happy thursday
Apple: Not so fast
I was so hopeful 😂
Sometimes that is all you can be. Today is thursday so happy thursday (for real this time).
@@unreasonableJameson Lol yes this Thursday is much happier, happy Thursday :)
😂😂😂 I don't think I have seen your patience tested quite so much before. Hopefully your next fiver orders are a little easier to process and your computer doesn't break in the process. Great video as always and good luck!
Thank you!
man, this happened around Christmas? That's rough. The highlight though, was your library card! I've had a library card for most of my life. Longer than an ID. Hope you got your Fivr work done in time...and charge more. Happy New Year
Yeah all right before Christmas lol. Things have gotten significantly better with the new year, new vlog out tomorrow morning :)
I loved this so much!! I’m sorry your fiverr order was so frustrating. I totally agree that having them provide a sample before starting the project is a great idea!! & love that you raised your rates, you deserve to be compensated well for your expertise ❤❤❤
Good afternoon! I turned 21 December 30th, and I have a few goals this year:
1. Save money to get my book critiqued by you
2. Finish a draft of Teenage Heroes because OH MY GOD
Happy belated birthday!!
I’ve had Fiverr orders that take way longer than my pricing allows for too. It’s so frustrating but I recently raised my prices so that should help, glad you raised yours too!
🙌 good job for knowing your value to your clients and raising your prices so you don’t burn out!!
I love the idea of renaming the project to make it feel fresh and more motivating for you! As someone currently on Draft 5 of my story, maybe I should steal this 🤣
Also just a heads up, but your title says this is episode 1, even though you said episode 2 in the video!
Yes, steal it if you think it would work for you!!! It’s been so helpful so far. And indeed… oops, thanks for pointing that out!
Hi. I'd like to tell you that you are so motivating person and I love your energy which is calm but also a bit chaotic and very creative and I hope to see your book one day translated to my mother language😊 and can I ask what type of questions did you ask your beta readers before draft 4 or did they come up with their comments themselves? Thank you so much for the answer☺
Well I was going to listen to my audiobook, but I got this notification and I'm spending my next 30 mins with Sara.
I feel you with the computer troubles. I finally replaced my laptop that constantly crashed since I purchased it. It was so scary but I'm so relieved to have a reliable computer again. I am also having issues with my Samsung account on my phone and have been putting off getting it fixed in case of them needing to wipe everything.
😂 what audiobook are you listening to? I have a new computer now (covered in next Monday’s vlog lol) and it’s nice to have a computer that functions like it’s supposed to lol
@@SaraLubratt I just got back from an event with Olivie Blake and M.L. Rio, so I was trying to read as much of "If We Were Villains" before the event. I'm glad you worked out the computer situation even if it is not ideal.
Goodnight Sara, have a wonderful weekend and happy editing. ❤
Thank you!
@@SaraLubratt You're welcome and Happy New Year, if I haven't told you yet.
@@Ghostrob2023 Happy new year!
@@SaraLubratt Thank you, Sara! ❤
I feel for you, it is a harsh blow losing your computer when it's the only one you have. Hope the holidays were a bit better after the hicups.
It was a rocky end to 2023 but a great start to 2024 :)
What a stress! I'm putting off taking my computer to the Genius Bar because I'm afraid of being without it for a few days, so I can relate to your experience. Mine keeps getting very hot and the fan is loud. I wonder if it's because I have so many tabs open at once, and honestly it feels like an analogy for my brain. Hopefully your issue is now resolved, since it's weeks since you filmed this vlog.
Now seeing your comment about a new computer. Glad you have a reliable machine now.
Hi Sara! I was wondering if you use a outlining template. I've been wondering a long time haha. Love the video!
I don't. I did try the story gridding method which I liked but that was reoutlining a while ago rather than outlining from the beginning. You can find that vid here if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/9cgyzMWY_9M/видео.html
Is your iMovie library full? Mine did that when I deleted projects but not from the actual system files for iMovie library! Hope it gets fixed !
Yup lol. But because my computer memory was too full too, when they went to uninstall the current operating software, there wasn’t enough space for the new one
Smog is a bitch. Smog in winter, however, is the perfect excuse to pretend there's a blizzard outside and you can stay home in front of a fireplace ... or to be more accurate, in front of the open stove after you've cooked something. I love the extra warmth before it escapes the kitchen through the vents.
The thing with online submission for editing, which frustrates me too, is you'll regularly get people who even with years of experience still don't realize THEY need to perform their own edits before handing it over. It's not necessarily an ego thing, but they do tend to assume it's legible just because it made sense in their head.
If the character you've contemplated cutting is a POV (or even a planned POV for a sequel book), my advice would be to wait for your agent's two cents on how the character comes across. That way you have the breathing room to assess more of the bigger picture before the character's removal affects it.
❣ Break a leg with your podcast.
Yay to 9 years of vegan life style!!
5 years is amazing!! Well done! The computer did get fixed (sorta, got a new one), and the writing has been incredible since then. Sending creative vibes back!! Good luck and happy writing :)
💖

I am annoyed by rewriting so I'm taking a few weeks off from my draft.
Good for you! Breaks are healthy!
I prolly could've fixed your Macbook. Apple Genius people don't search for things online and they're limited by what they can do while working there.
I'm also surprised they don't have a hard drive lying around where they can copy over your stuff temporarily to fix the issue and then copy it back.
I would have had to leave my computer at an Apple Store over the holidays and being in 3 different states. I asked how long it would take them and they said about a week. They also said they think that would work but weren't 100% sure, I just couldn't not have a computer for a week plus when it's my livelihood and hobby and entertainment :/
what do you do on fiverr?
nvm you just said it lol!
:)
Me me me
