Final casual update! Full Waco vlog coming tomorrow ♥️♥️♥️ How are you doing so far?
I don't comment much, but I wanted to say that I really enjoy this unedited style of video, something about it makes it seem more personal and more real - no distractions, just honest thoughts and feelings 💜
Thank you so much! I'm glad you loved it. Might do more of these this month instead of all the edits!
totally agree :)
I think the lesson here is that kindness gets you farther than being cruel. And this definitely applies to ourselves. I don't think it's a coincidence that your kindness self-care retreat was your best ever. Glad your joy journey has been so rewarding for you!
I would just like to say that you set out to find the joy in your writing again, and it brings me such joy to see you flourishing, changing, and coming into the best version of yourself. I am so proud of you! Keep up the great work. ❤❤
I'm so happy you're coming back to yourself after so many difficult years. Well done!
I've been loving these raw vlogs, it truly feels like we are chatting one to one. Thank you for sharing your process and struggles and wins, it is so inspirational ❤❤❤
I’m actually not doing NaNoWriMo this year, but I still love your NaNo diaries. 😊My poem, “Freedom” on my author website comforts and encourages me when faced with criticism or judgment from people. I’m thinking of recording myself reading it because it’s so relatable, especially with the way things are among society and across social media.
My poem is something that needs to be addressed worldwide. Personally, I don’t care about competition or comparison. I’m focused on personal development, protecting my peace, and my holistic growth and wellbeing.
Looking forward to seeing the full vlog - it sounds like an amazing experience.
But I also really appreciate these unedited chats that really touch on the realities of being a writer and overcoming ourselves (& other challenges) to live our dreams!
Thanks for the inspiration 😊
That's great! I am not doing NaNoWriMo, but watching your progress inspires me to write at least something daily. Rooting for you and your book!
Thank you for sharing ❤
Your joy in the process is genuine and deeply felt. I'm not doing NaNo this year, but I'm trying to find my joy of writing and using the energy of nano to support my daily practice. I found myself with the same voices in my head, telling me I'm the worst writer ever i should just quit. Hearing you talk honestly is so helpful. I deeply respect how you share with us.
I'm loving these vulnerable nano update chats! So excited for you and what this retreat has been for you. I can relate to so much of this. You're doing amazing!
Hurray! So glad this retreat was so productive for you. I ve followed for many years & have witnessed your great growth-you have definitely come into your own! Watching you gives me hope that I can reach my goal. Enjoy your cupcake-you earned it!
❤ The last couple of years of NaNoWriMo, I've been setting my weekday goals lower and my weekend goals higher, because I know I struggle to hit 1667 words when working a mentallly challenging day job. It's made a huge difference - no more zero word count days! This week I've been crushing my reduced goals, which is really motivating 😀 It's so easy to be down on ourselves when we don't manage to be superhuman, but being realistic truly isn't incompatible with having challenging goals!
OMG, incredible progress!!! And I love how your mindset shift made a huge difference! Yay!!!
Sarra, this video gave me a huge Ah-ha! It was your discussion about “the cost” of our writing life and the corresponding pressure we put on ourselves to produce. Yes! Even on a daily basis when you’re not yet making a lot of money writing but still taking the time. I also really got your message about being our own best cheerleader instead of our own best critic. It’s so awesome the your production was so high while the pressure was so low. A formula!? I think so.
So happy you got your joy of writing back! ❤
So happy for you Sarra ❤ Your message resonated with me. I also struggle with being my worst enemy. We need to stay positive and take care of ourselves and still achieve great things 🥰
I always appreciate your honesty in you vlogs. They help remind me my crazy negative thoughts aren’t put from left field. We all have them but it helps hear the flip side of it. Helps snap me out of it. I started sabotaging myself yesterday and I pushed through, danced it out. It helped redirect myself in a positive mindset. Your videos always are so helpful. Thank you!🩷🌸🩷 Have a great rest of your retreat. Loving all the pictures.🩷🩷🩷
Yes to dancing,! If I'm not too embarrassed I'll share my dancing in the vlog lol. I dance on my breaks!! So glad you kept going!!
Bravo, Sarra! Sorry I’m behind commenting. Day job drama which also made my word count lower, but there were words! Remember that you are the best person in the world to be you. Embrace that!
Your an inspiration to me, this is my first year trying nanowrimo. I was off to a rough start, lots of distractions. But i did allow myself time to sit down today and wrote over 4000 words, and I’m super proud of myself. I have been watching your videoes to help me learn the process of writing. So thank you for your time.
Dayam girl! WOWZA! You did so well and managed your mental state so well. What an inspiration. You are oozing happy!
Congratulations on the three day word count! I'm thinking weekdays are the best time to visit Magnolia, everyone says the weekends are super crowded. There is an independent bookstore coffee shop in Georgetown, it's super kitschy and there's a big section for kids to hangout with hidey reading nooks and loft with a chalkboard. Next time ya'll go to Austin stop in Georgetown and check out Lark and Owl. They support indie (Texas) authors, they do little book launches for area authors.
Oh that's awesome! I will!
It is hard as a mother to be away from family to go on a writing retreat! But, it'll help them motivate to finish their book!
It's amazing how taking the pressure off can dispel the self-doubt and bring peace. I'm learning that. Sounds the same for you and I'm happy for you. Yay!
Totally agree…getting ahead of where you want to be brings a relaxed writing effort…almost there.
Thank you so much for the honesty and transparency in this video, Sarra! I was literally standing on the ledge, ready to give up on my writing because it been years (started taking my writing seriously in 2017) and I still have yet to publish anything.
But I will publish one day. In the meantime, I will hone my craft, write my books, and learn all I can to be better. I don't just want to write and fizzle out in less than a year. I want to thrive! I want to dream big!
Quality over quantity - which takes time. I really need to give myself some grace and focus on enjoying the journey, celebrating the small wins, stop comparing myself to others, and never giving up. I am a writer and I will be published. Congrats on your amazing word count, Sarra :)
You will! I believe in you and I'm excited to hear more of your journey!
I've always wanted to do a solo writing retreat. It seems fun and productive!
I've been having a similar experience this year with Nanowrimo. I'm much more forgiving of myself if I don't reach the goal(s) I set out to achieve, as long as I keep going and learning. I'm planning to buy some Nano merch this year, whether I get to 50k words or not, because even a small win is a win. Past me used to think that I didn't deserve rewards if I didn't reach 50k. Thank you for being so real and honest in these videos.
I really enjoyed this coffee chat style videos, they feel so authentic, they are more about your experience and challenges. Thank you for sharing :)
❤❤❤ It’s so good to see you enjoying the process. I wish you could see how very successful you are. TFS Always inspired to go write!
I love seeing you enjoy the process again! Can't wait to see the vlog tomorrow, though I will say I loved these little chats while you were away too. You did an amazing job!! That's a spectacular word count and even if you had only done 15k like you said that's still amazing!!! It's hard when we put too much pressure on ourselves, I'm learning not to do that as well, so I get it! You're rocking NaNo this year.
YAY SARRA, YEET THAT INNER HECKLER!
Yeet, haha. My son's favorite word!
Nice work!!! I am so far behind but....there is still hope.
I totally appreciate your attitude and comments and sharing it
❤❤I’m so glad you had a good retreat. This was so encouraging for me. I’ve found my comparing myself with my fellow writers and thinking I need to push myself to get as many words as them with only half the time available. This reminded me I can be happy for them, but also satisfied with my own progress. I’m still liking the chat style videos
I love this for you ❤ it’s been easy for me to forget the technique of “good/better/best goals” such a wonderful reminder. Congratulations on a fun and productive writeapalooza 🎉📝💻
Oh Sarra! I needed this video like whoa today. Thank you for being so vulnerable and real. It's so helpful when resistance is piling up and writing feels like a chore. Thank you thank you thank you!
1:24 Whoo hoo that’s incredible 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
You Did It! Woot! Thank you for inspiring all of us...
I feel a certain level of "who am I to say this" but I'M SO PROUD OF YOU💜💜💜 watching your personal growth has been so incredible!!! Congrats on an amazing retreat and give those babies some extra big squeezes!! Looking forward to the next full vlog to see everything from the retreat!😍
Honestly this is why I don’t like SMART goals. I think they work for me for setting up systems and routines but then I have to forget about it completely and simply track. Otherwise I would have so much negative self talk. I admire that you have a system that works for you
That green color looks so good with your skin tone.
I am living for all the green!!! Love it. Congratulations on the huge amount of words! I have been wondering about that cupcake for the last 24hrs lol. Thank you so much for this video. Blessings xox
Mindset is everything.
I love that good-better-best set of goals approach. So fun to see you SMASHING it! Thanks for bringing us along.
❤ beautiful chat
I leave myself little notes in my manuscript too!!! Sometimes you just gotta remind yourself you can fix it later and move on.
Yesss!!
Ooof I relate so hard to wanting to scrap a story. I'm so deep into the middle of my manuscript right now that I can't see the forest for the tree's, I'm just having to have faith in my outline, because I could see the story from a birds eye view then and I can't right now. So I'm just having faith that past me knew what I was doing and, like you said, trusting the process
What a great attitude! That is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
Big hugs! I am telling myself to write as much or as little as I feel like I can. But I am trying to stay on the Nano goal, have managed a few days beyond the 1667 which were great for the days I couldn't reach it because of exhaution
Yes it's okay to take the rest you need!!
Love your tee-shirt.🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thank you for your authenticity ❤
I'm so glad you had a great retreat! And that you've found success in more than just your word count! I can't wait to hear all about your trip in tomorrow's vlog. It's coming at a great time, because I'm getting ready to take a one night retreat next week. I think I'll take your idea and do a "good, better, best" goal for my retreat. Right now I just have one word count goal for each day, but I like the tiered goals. And I may add other non-writing goals to add to my joy while I'm there :)
Wow you got a lot of good writing in. Good job 🎉
Good to see you in new Magnolia T-Shirt. All Green. Keep going sarra. Waiting on HB90 launch
So happy for you! Can't wait to see the rest of the vlogs ❤
Interesting... last June, I stayed in a hotel for four days to finish the rough draft of my horror screenplay, involving a vampric cheerleader. I wanted to finish it before I had to leave and I did!
really happy for your wonderful experience!
I'm curious if you feel that taking the editing of RUclips videos off the table has helped this writing retreat to be so successful. So happy you've had an excellent time!
Yes I definitely feel like it did!
Wow! That's amazing!!!!!!
So proud of you! You did an amazing thing. I hope you enjoyed your cupcake! You certainly deserve it.!!!
I'm so happy for you!
You share so much hope. Thx. Kisses from France !
Now I have to put Waco, TX on my to-go list! What a wonderful retreat and isn't it sad that no matter how positive and giving you are, there are always those people who feel they have the right to criticize your life? My parents were ridiculously overcritical and it's hard to turn off those tapes when strangers echo their messages. You've come such a long way in pushing past that! So proud of you!!
Logically, I know it's just part of the package right? But like you, I grew up trained to be so sensitive to it, and it's a hard mental and emotional habit to break
Omg! You're awesome 🎉
Oh Sarra, how wonderful!!!! I'm so happy for you that you had this experience!!
I have loved these unedited unfiltered videos ❤
Woohooo!!! 🔥💗
I’m so proud of you! Keep on going, Sarra!❤
I’m so happy for you!!
OMG Sarra!!!! You nailed it! I'm so proud of you ❤
♥️♥️♥️
I'm working on it. SLOWLY
🎉 so proud of you! Let’s not talks about my word count right now though 😂
Are you taking Friday off from Coffee Chat to rest and get back into the swing of things at home?
I'm not! I'll be there!
Hot damn, Sarra! Your fingers were on fire - nice!
Imposter syndrome is a beast.
