The plotting series is finally here!! Are you a plotter? Don't forget to head over to my blog to download your free workbook!
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.
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!
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'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.
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.
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 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.
Wow where you before I wrote my four chapters that needed to be trashed? lol This information is exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks
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. 🎉
（note)
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.
Hey Sarra,
Rewatching this series for the fourth time, and every time I learn something valuable. Thank you!
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'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. <3
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!
You’r exactly what I needed! You speak to the tangle that is my mind! THANK YOU!
Wow this is great! Thank you so much!😍 exactly what I was looking for!
This is brilliant, Sarra! Thank you for taking the time to talk plot with us!
