I am so late to join the party but like one viewer said, "it does feel like I hit the youtube/author tube jackpot!" This series is AMAZING! I'm just about 2K words into my novel so I've barely scratched the surface. I am so happy this appeared in my feed! I printed the workbook, and will play this again.
My first NaNoWriMo I decided to do on October 30th. I won in 10 days, but continued. I got COVID really bad, and managed to finish November with 160,000 words. Guess how much I kept? Over the next year, I whittled it down and polished it until it was 114,000 words before sending it to my editor. I published just under 110,000. That's why I'm watching this video ... no more wasting time!
I swear I feel like I hit the youtube writer/authortube jackpot! Thank you so much for doing this series. I binge watched them all yesterday afternoon and am getting the resources you've suggested today. I'm excited to check out the rest of your videos and learn!

Hey Sarra, It’s the same for me. I use to be a panster and that worked for 1 book. When I started writing my second book, I just couldn’t get the story to move until I plotted it all out. Since then, I realize that I can’t write without knowing at least the direction a scene needs to go.
This was one of my favorite series of yours. I'm sorry to hear about the harassment you've been enduring. I've never seen you make claims owning other people's copyrighted material. You always have links in your description. Anyways, big fan of your "how-to" series. Hope to release my own first book next year and your videos really helped a lot. Thanks again, as always, looking forward to more of your work. - Yin
JK Rowling definitely had a plot grid because there were SO many threads she was working with. The internet has an image of one of her notebook plot grids. I keep it on my desk as inspiration to move forward with writing! ❤Enjoying your videos. The theme of joy in writing is so important! Have really enjoyed your recent videos about your reset. 🎉
I'm a chronic pantser, so this is going to be very exciting for me. I can't wait to learn from this, and to hopefully utilize all these resources to help me really build a series that I can be proud of.
I don’t know why it took me 2 years to find you but thank god I did find you! I have read books on writing for years and struggled for years, but all I had to do was watch your comprehensive videos! 🤦🏽♂️ thank you for your time and knowledge. What a blessing!
I adore all of your content! These videos (and the others) have helped me so much in my journey to being a better writer. I was looking for something specific to subplots but didn't see anything specific to that topic. I thought I heard you say something about re-doing this series, so if you do, maybe something on subplots might be something to consider? :) Thanks for everything you do for your community!!!
I'm a total pantser who uses omniscient POV and it's worked very well for me in the past, but I find that my writing has changed a little this past year, so I'm trying to be a little more structured with my stories. It's a little painful, but I want to keep improving my writing and if plotting a little more will do that, so be it. Great video.
What’s so funny is that I’m a pantser for the most part but right now I’m struggling with a story where I have these characters and I don’t know where they’re going and I love the idea of writing multi points of view. I really appreciate all this.
Hello, I'm writing my first book "The Raven Hollow" and for the most part I don't plot, but, I'm writing in three points of view, however, I have plotted the key events, the conflict and the resolution to that conflict being a big part of the plot. Also, research because I'm pulling from various mythologies, legends and folktales. This video really helped, thank you.
Just printed your lovely freebies you are an inspiration and love you for your generosity. Thank you and wishing you even more success with your own writing.
I have been doing a lot of research for self-publishing because I want to write my own books at some point, I do write fan-fiction but I want to branch out to original stories and I love watching your videos, they are very helpful
Hi Sara, Thanks so much for this series. I'm currently outlining my first fantasy novel, which I'm planning to expand into a series. It's daunting, but I'm excited nonetheless. The three books on writing I've found to be most helpful and insightful for me thus far are, Writing for Emotional Impact by Karl Iglesias, Scene and Structure by Jack Bickam, and of course, On Writing by Stephen King. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for sparking my desire to tell the stories that constantly flood my brain. I just never knew where to start? Who would care to hear my thoughts? Is there content people just can’t handle? I’m optimistic that the structure of this series may help me explore all of these questions.
Hi thanks for the inspiration ❤️ I just write, first draft just write, I'm not editing anything. I just follow the story where ever it goes, my characters controls the way. When my draft is done, I'm pulling everything to pieces, tighting plot, characters, settings etc. And then write it all again this time in a tight plan. And I'm writing by hand, can't write on a pc. Thanks for the inspiration. Sandra
Thanks for Heart Breathing's. Came across you & your 8 lessons are a Godsend. New to writing...was terrible at writing in school...one can hope. Thanks again for Plot Your Novel workbook.
I am a Panster, I would just sit at my home office, grab my laptop and start writing. I would reread what I had, which I did not think it was bad. I actually enjoyed it, but when I had my laptop read to me. I did get more thinking into it, which made another character sound stalkerish haha. So I deleted it, I do regret it because I had confidence in it, but something kept making me feel like something is off. I am doing the plot and outlining and see if that helps make more sense. Thank you for the video.
I learned how to write in the screenplay form so I still write my first draft in this form which takes me about less than two months. My second draft goes into the novel form which I'm still learning. This may be a longer progress but it helps me get through the story as a whole this way. I've been bringe watching your videos and I need to take some online courses in English 101, business management, etc. Thank you so much for your channel 🤘
Great series! I am on my way back through for the second time. This time with notebook and pen in hand as well as a copy of your Plot Your Novel handbook. I am writing, planning and plotting my first series. It shapes out to be quite long so your tools are proving to be quite valuable already. Thanks!
I'm listening to all your vids on my phone while walking, and I hate commenting there, so I just wanted to check in and say AWESOME content. Especially your series on making an anchor series. Your videos are filling me with so much energy. Even though I've studied plotting meticulously, this series is great as a refresh, and I will try to use your sheets for my next project to see if it can make the process faster. I also immensely enjoyed your video on editing, especially the "when are you done" video. You're so right - you reach a point where you have to let it go. I'm doing the final edit of the first book in an epic fantasy series. it's almost done, there are a few touches on the character arcs and language that need doing. Then I came across a part where I was like "this could probably be tighter" but it'd take a lot of work and replotting to make it tighter, and I wasn't sure it would make it better or just different, and after your video I decided "you know what, I don't win that much by trying to change it, and it's not like it's bad, it could just be a bit better. In a few years I'll not what I should have done, but I can't wait for that". So thank you for that.
I'm a pantser. I find that when I force myself to plot, as I write, I end up changing everything and throwing the original plot out, wasting that time. So as I write, I jot down the details, plots made and idea for further plot.
With the book I'm currently working on, I pantsed most of the first draft for a NaNoWriMo. I had a starting point and one or two other planned scenes but that was it. I just wrote a logical sequence of events, bringing in characters as needed, and the result wasn't bad for a first draft. The only thing I would recommend is, if you're pantsing and you don't start out with an ending in mind, which you may well not until you have a better idea of the story, try to have made that decision by the mid point. I still don't know what's going to happen and they're already in the villain's lair.
I’m planning on writing a novel about four friends (who have their own problems) who are more or less sucked up into the Underground Library where their old librarian, Ms. Addams is trapped between the pages. To save her, they most goes through the books solving the conflict in the book and retrieve a gemstone in order to escape the book.
I'm a pantser and my natural tendency is multiple pov, basically because it keeps the story flowing. More work editing I'm sure, but it's FUN and a lot of story structures are internalized so they do come out at least partially cohesive XD. (Also George R. R. Martin is a pantser -- he coined the term gardener?)
I had to laugh when I looked at your book resources list and realized that I already owned all of them from recent purchases that I haven't started to read yet.
Hi Sarah! I will be watching this guide soon and am looking forward to it. Your Series on writing a series was already great and very helpful. A quick question: are you somewhere talking about how to manage multiple pov characters? More specific if all of the pov characters need to have their own 3 act? Or is it enough to have one main storyline and the other important characters do not have, let's say an inciding incedent? Or a midpoint?
Kali Angel yes thank you. I don't tend to worry too much about piracy. Fighting it takes up way too much time and the books just go right back up, sadly.
Oh not Piracy. Scribd is a service that costs 10-11 dollars a month and you get access to published eBooks and audiobooks that cannot be downloaded. The Internet Archive is a huge online library and many of the books are withdrawn books from Boston Public Library and other libraries around the US. Scribd has an online app that lets you read the books or listen on your phone or tablet. Sorry about any confusion!
Yes, I know! But I haven't authorized Scribd to sell my books :(. They are making money off them without my permission. I've contacted them several times, but apparently other users can upload books to their site. It's a bit frustrating. I'm not sure where Internet Archive is getting them, but I may look into it. I haven't sold my books to most libraries either, so it's possible someone else is uploading them there, too.
Hey! I'm new to your channel and I'm very interested in this series. I signed up for the newsletter but this workbook is not available. Is it possible to make it available again for those of us who a late?
Hey, Sarra! This video series rocks! Thank you for it. When plotting a series, do you tend to fill out character notes and Act I-III sheets (your handy-dandy "Plot Your Novel" workbook") for each book first or only start with the first one? I'd be curious to see more on how you plot a series. Thanks again. Great stuff! Rick
Thanks Rick! I tend to only fill out one book at a time. I do have a notebook with ideas and story threads I want to carry through, but I don't fill out the workbook in this much detail until I am ready to plot that book. As of yet, I haven't ever started fully plotting a book until the previous book was complete.
Sarra, so excited for your new plotting series! Thank you for the free workbook, looking forward to using it to help get through my novel turned trilogy---definitely needs plotting! Question: You had a video posted that I've already watched where you used purple washi tape in your happy planner as you plotted. I tried to find it so that I could copy your technique but cannot find it anywhere. Did you remove it? Thanks.
Hmm, no I haven't removed any videos! I have this one in my happy planner: ruclips.net/video/lX-v5kfq06g/видео.html I also have a video on my Sarra Cannon channel where I set up for my latest book with purple. Have you been over there? ruclips.net/video/Xj6EdGx6Goo/видео.html

I tried writing a book that wasn't planned at all and I have no SYNOPSIS no plotting no planning everything written just by hand then typed up. I wrote like this and I didn't like it. I want to plan before I write because I can stress less about my structure. I want to try to plot. So I asked a friend and they recommended this channel
Hello, im sorry to bother but does anyone know how i can still get that plotting manual, i tried the link before couple times in the last few days and didn't get any emails, can anyone help please and thanks in advance.
I love this and was getting ready to recommend it for our homeschooling group of moms until you mentioned sex. That’s too bad because this would have been perfect but some of the kids in the group, upon hearing that, would no longer be able to focus, I’m sure. It really is too bad.
The plotting series is finally here!! Are you a plotter? Don't forget to head over to my blog to download your free workbook!
Bbv
Is the printout still available?
I'm about to binge watch your videos. I want to write a novel but I have no idea what I'm doing haha. So I figured I'd start with educating myself

Yes, that sounds so familiar!!! I really need that outline first, even if I know it's going to change as I go!

Rewatching this series for the fourth time, and every time I learn something valuable. Thank you!
Can you do an updated version of these? I would love to see if you have any new recommendations in 2023
God! I really needed to hear this. Gonna binge watch the whole series and take notes

writing is a lot of work! from idea to fully fleshing out the plot/subplot with high stakes and pay off its kind of overwhelming.
I'm a total pantser who uses omniscient POV and it's worked very well for me in the past, but I find that my writing has changed a little this past year, so I'm trying to be a little more structured with my stories. It's a little painful, but I want to keep improving my writing and if plotting a little more will do that, so be it. Great video.

this is a good review for me
Thank you for sharing.
NUTZ! I spent two days trying to figure out where your reading list was. Then find it, by accident, in one click this evening!
Thanks for the list!
I am definitely a plotter! My first book I didn't plot, and I thought I was a pantser, but after that book, I've never been able to not plot a book.
You are amazing, you did nothing wrong and we are here to support you, thank you for being an amazing writer and teacher❤

I'm using this series to help me plan my novel for NaNoWriMo this year!

I enjoy listening to your vlogs very much. Extremely informative and encouraging in my writing and planning. Also keen dairy user. UK
I'll be binge watching these 8 videos tonight. Really helpful. Thank you for putting this up!
So glad I found your videos.... very instructive to a newbie like me!

Thank you for your video... So usefull, simple to understand !
So excited to watch this series. I’ve been reading a lot about story structure and plotting this year as I prepped for my first ever nano!
With the book I'm currently working on, I pantsed most of the first draft for a NaNoWriMo. I had a starting point and one or two other planned scenes but that was it. I just wrote a logical sequence of events, bringing in characters as needed, and the result wasn't bad for a first draft. The only thing I would recommend is, if you're pantsing and you don't start out with an ending in mind, which you may well not until you have a better idea of the story, try to have made that decision by the mid point. I still don't know what's going to happen and they're already in the villain's lair.
Wow this is great! Thank you so much!😍 exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you so much for all this information! So useful! So easy to understand and to put into practice! Thank you again.
This video is so valuable, thank you.
I'm not a writer, but this sounds like a lot of fun so I'll be plotting alongside you seasoned pros! Thanks for doing this, Sarra! 📝
I’m planning on writing a novel about four friends (who have their own problems) who are more or less sucked up into the Underground Library where their old librarian, Ms. Addams is trapped between the pages. To save her, they most goes through the books solving the conflict in the book and retrieve a gemstone in order to escape the book.
This was great! Cant' wait for the rest, thank you! I also like Martha Alderson's Plot Whisperer workbook!
Ooh, I actually have not read that one yet! Will check it out!
I second Martha's Plot Whisperer book, I actually pulled it off the shelf this morning with the intent of reviewing it this month.
I'm a pantser and my natural tendency is multiple pov, basically because it keeps the story flowing. More work editing I'm sure, but it's FUN and a lot of story structures are internalized so they do come out at least partially cohesive XD. (Also George R. R. Martin is a pantser -- he coined the term gardener?)
I use to be a pantser but I outline now!
Great video! I also love your T-shirt :D
exciteddddd
Woohoo! Thanks for watching, Shenee!
This sounds EPIC!! I'm so excited to use this series and the workbook Sarra!!
Thank you so much Brittany!
Thank you for the workbook- it is very nice.
I had to laugh when I looked at your book resources list and realized that I already owned all of them from recent purchases that I haven't started to read yet.

Thanks for creating this!
Love this!
I am excited to watch this 8 episode series. I need some guidance for plotting.
Jennifer Rux Thanks so much!!! I really hope you enjoy it!! I can't wait to share the rest of the videos.
Have you done a plotting a trilogy video? I thought you did, but my search came up empty. Thanks!
I am a pantster who never gets to a point where I feel confident in my structure. I desperately need to learn out to outline...
Thank you!
Some of your books can be found online also at Scribd and the Internet Archive and its Open Library. Just a heads up.
Kali Angel yes thank you. I don't tend to worry too much about piracy. Fighting it takes up way too much time and the books just go right back up, sadly.
Oh not Piracy. Scribd is a service that costs 10-11 dollars a month and you get access to published eBooks and audiobooks that cannot be downloaded. The Internet Archive is a huge online library and many of the books are withdrawn books from Boston Public Library and other libraries around the US. Scribd has an online app that lets you read the books or listen on your phone or tablet. Sorry about any confusion!
Yes, I know! But I haven't authorized Scribd to sell my books :(. They are making money off them without my permission.

I haven't sold my books to most libraries either, so it's possible someone else is uploading them there, too.
Ahhhh yeah that is an issue.
Thank you for mentioning it, though!
I added my characters as I write as a panster and have always tried to be a plotter.
Panther but I never finish so I am watching this to try something completely different
Oooos pantser darn autocorrects
Thank you x
Hey! I'm new to your channel and I'm very interested in this series. I signed up for the newsletter but this workbook is not available. Is it possible to make it available again for those of us who a late?
I love these videos, thank you. Curious, have you tried or read “Save the Cat” for novels?
Save the cat is how I plot my novels. I made a save the cat beat sheet outline for scrivener that I use to plot my novels and I love it
Hey, Sarra!
This video series rocks! Thank you for it.
When plotting a series, do you tend to fill out character notes and Act I-III sheets (your handy-dandy "Plot Your Novel" workbook") for each book first or only start with the first one? I'd be curious to see more on how you plot a series.

Hmm, no I haven't removed any videos! I have this one in my happy planner: ruclips.net/video/lX-v5kfq06g/видео.html
I also have a video on my Sarra Cannon channel where I set up for my latest book with purple. Have you been over there? ruclips.net/video/Xj6EdGx6Goo/видео.html
[July 2nd 2018 update]
Good news! For anyone who was eligible and applied for the RUclips Partner Program (YPP) before June 1st, your application has now been reviewed. You can check your Monetization Page in Creator Studio for more information.
If you were eligible and applied before June 1st but your Creator Studio hasn't yet updated: that means your application is being held for an additional review. You will be getting an email update soon (if you haven't already) and there's also more info about this below.
FAQS: Why is my application being held for an additional review?
There are some channels that we’d like to look at more closely before approving or not approving for YPP and these channels are being held for an additional review. The best thing you can do is keep uploading original content as the more info/content for us to review, the better. We don't have an exact date or time frame about when these next reviews will take place (as it will vary for each channel), but you'll receive a second email update once it happens
Thank God for you 🙏🙏🙏
Awesome tips! Can’t wait to read the books you mentioned! Btw,Are you dropping weight? You look great! :)
I like your videos.
Just found your channel and this video... I've been trying to write a cozy mystery. Will your workbook work with that? Thanks.
I tried writing a book that wasn't planned at all and I have no SYNOPSIS no plotting no planning everything written just by hand then typed up. I wrote like this and I didn't like it. I want to plan before I write because I can stress less about my structure. I want to try to plot. So I asked a friend and they recommended this channel
GRRM is a famous pantser, actually. It's why The Winds of Winter hasn't come out in over 10 years 😂
Can this process be used for writing a children's picture book or early chapter book?
This sounds just like me. Is the workbook still available?
Hello, im sorry to bother but does anyone know how i can still get that plotting manual, i tried the link before couple times in the last few days and didn't get any emails, can anyone help please and thanks in advance.
I'm a puzzler.
George RR Martin is a total pantser and so is Steve King
George RR Martin is usually considered to be a pantser.
Happily pantsing 7 POV.
I love this and was getting ready to recommend it for our homeschooling group of moms until you mentioned sex. That’s too bad because this would have been perfect but some of the kids in the group, upon hearing that, would no longer be able to focus, I’m sure. It really is too bad.
Thank you!
