It's almost time for Camp NaNoWriMo. Let me know in the comments if you're participating and what you're working on in July!
Editing/Rewriting my first Regency Romance.
Finishing the draft of my second poetry collection 😊
This video felt like an old-school but full of breakthroughs and growth, super motivational, HeartBreathings video. You look happy, Sarra. Not Today Satan!
Sarra's Blockbuster Fund -- the reward at the end is an incentive to bust you through a writer's block (and, of course, put you on the path for a book that's a sales blockbuster).
I wish I could like multiple times in a single video to let you know how much things resonate. Thank you (again) for being real and wonderful and hopeful and helpful and you.
Sarra's Treasure Chest!!!
This planner is an incredible resource - thank you! I filled it out on my son’s nap and even the pages I didn’t think I’d use, like the meal planner (I do not really thrive on rigid plans 😅) is helping me to think ahead of what to at least buy weekly for groceries to make things easier on myself and make it so I don’t have to think up a new snack idea every time my son is hungry. Wooo! Camp feels totally doable now!
I write urban fantasy series and I found you through Yasmine Galenorn years ago when she mentioned you in one of her RUclips videos. I've been hooked ever since, and so excited about notebook challenges and getting into planning and enjoying my journals and stationery, especially when trying to balance finishing college and witchy things and family life. Great content, inspiring and relatable, and so excited for what comes next.
That is so sweet. I love Yasmine!
Been working on my story that’s based on my favorite RUclips series eternal love of dream and it’s going very good. One of my coworkers is actually designing a book cover for my story and I can’t wait to see it
Yeeeee Camp! I did well in April's for my cowriter and I's decided word count so here's to July's! I've been prepping all month! I'm so gung ho because I'm practicing for November's Nano. It will be my first official one and I'm so excited.
As usual your video is so timely. Going to download the new booklet! Good luck on edits!
Seeing an on-screen walkthrough of your editing process was sooo helpful! I'm in the second draft stage as well but have been really stuck on the mechanics of moving through my draft. I use Scrivener, and I know the Snapshot feature can record my versions, but it just doesn't work with my brain for some reason; it still feels like I'm writing over my first draft. So I moved my whole draft out of the Manuscript folder (the one that counts words) into a folder called "First Draft," and now I plan to copy scenes back into the Manuscript folder one by one, like you do here. Then I can repeat the process for my second draft, etc. I think this will really jive with how my brain works. Thanks, Sarra!
I'm so glad this was helpful! I'm exactly the same way with versions, even though I logically understand it should be easier. I just can't seem to wrap my head around it!
Attempting 15,000 words this camp... still scared I may not do it but Ive been taking time to plan the next few scenes main ideas/points I wish to touch and yesterday I had to do another timeline😅 because I always forget I need time for characters to travel and do stuff 😅😂. But Im already super excited as my Zero Draft is already around 26,000 words which already blows my mind as I know for a fact the scenes need expansion and work
I love that you have a progress bar for your books on your website. Seems like such. Good idea
my only goal for Camp is to write every day! also - don't know if you intended for the text of TDOVS to be blurred/censored as you were showing how you do your edits, but it's readable for nearly that entire clip 🫣
I just want to say that you are such a blessing, Sarra. And it's been awesome discovering you while you're doing a writer reset, and I'm so happy for you. Thank you for all you do for fellow writers!
Hey Sarra! 🎉 I am so inspired by your accountability! My camp nano goal is to add 30k to my spiritual memoir 😊 I recently had a breakthrough about the climax and so I’m filling in the early stories that support that new climax and ending ❤ 837 words yesterday 🎉Woohoo!
This is great! Love the accountability ideas and excited to see more Notion tutorials from you! I recently posted one with some HB90 modifications I've used, but I'm at a complete loss when it comes to tracking writing projects.
Love the idea of the detailed kanban for a specific goal!
Eventually my house will just be all Kanban boards 😂
💜💜
I’m so excited for this video! Thank you Sarra for everything that you do! 😍
I wish I had someone to support me with my writing, even an accountability partner would be great.
Another great video! I printed out the Camp planner and I'll be using it. I'm setting a goal of 25,000 words. I'm going to add another accountability tool by posting my progress on my writing blog, probably once or twice a week (that's also one of my HB90 goals, posting on there once or twice per week). Thank you for sharing your editing process. The way you do it makes perfect sense to me. It's great to be excited about a new quarter and a new writing challenge. Your enthusiasm is infectious!
Oh girl post-Cword is difficult for everyone! It's ok! You are still here putting up content and that's already better than 70% of creators are doing.
Yay for the upcoming Notion videos!!
This video was very helpful for me! Thank you! I struggle with organizing all the words that fall out of me.🤣
Sarra, I use the full length project sheets you provided.🇬🇧🇺🇸
I just started book 11.I love it so far! Your books are an escape from my chronic illnesses. It will be an escape as I get ready for my next surgery. Thank you for your books!
AccountabiliBank!
Just perfect as always ❤
Brilliant idea! Super motivational 💓💓💓
I honestly wished that kind accountability worked for me but It really doesn't. But that's how executive disfunction and adhd works, the system cannot really be hacked easily, only courted gently. The only way for me to make things work is to focus on the rest of it: eat and sleep well, exercise, minimize stress levels and leave space for creation which will or will not happen. It's so exhausting but only radical acceptance and self-empathy works. Ugh.
I LOVE this camp planner! Super duper useful. Happy almost camp!
My sister and I talked about it and both decided to set aside our novels and work on short stories for Camp Nano. We're both a bit out of practice and the writing groove, so I think it's going to be a good way to go. Probably won't hit 50k, but any words will be progress!
I’m in for Camp NaNo. Rewriting an old draft 📚
This is inspiring! I'm going to do campnano this year for my next book.
Love yr videos! Yes this time I will join Nano for editing my upcoming book in release in December 😀
Haven't seen the video yet - stopped instantly because Great Mug!!!!! (Plus excited for video, and Camp, and writing, and summer.)
I don't know if this is correct or not, but someone on one of my chats said Nano said 1 hr of editing = 1800 words, so that sounds good to me. Two sprints, 1800 words.
you are my comfort youtuber 💖
OMG! I can't believe it's almost July. I plan on finishing Draft One of my current WIP. I'll be at a conference the weekend of the 8th, but I'm not going to stress over it.
Sarra’s Accountabilabank!
haha yes!!!! I love that!
I don't really use the meal planners because I live with my parents so I just eat whatever they're having usually but I did print pages 1-11 that I WILL use.
I'm so excited for Camp Nano!! Im finally going to write that steamy werewolf book!
I always love your videos! they always get me pumped to write! and also you're looking so pretty today 😄
Thank you! And yay for steamy werewolves!
Planning to edit my NaNo project from November in July. My goal is to edit 25,000 words! 😊
I immediately thought about " Once upon a time, my account "
I definitely am going to participate in Camp in some way, but just due to the timing it may be more of a "do some kind of writing task every day." I might use Kate Cavanaugh's goal of 31 words (with each one representing a day). I need to figure out what, exactly.
The Consequences of My Actions Fund. 😋
😂 love it
Would you consider putting a blank version of that accountability spreadsheet into the resource library for us to maybe use with a CP or friend?
I've been planning on doing camp this July, but I'm currently very sick, so we'll see. Maybe my new e-ink tablet will make writing in bed easier and less strenuous on the eyes.
I hope you feel better soon and that the tablet helps!
@@HeartBreathings Thank you so much! I know you love paper, but it works like a laptop if you connect a keyboard, and it's so much easier on the eyes.
Ha ha girl i love that shirt..... That is my life...
Hey Sarra! I'll print that out when I get home tomorrow. I brought my HB90 Q3 - July with me this weekend. Thank you for the progress meter! Is that the one George designed? If so, thank him as well. Creative Blessings!
I will be working on Act 3 (Still, lol!) of my novel and I am so determined to get it finished since I have another plot outline pretty much all ready to go for November, but refuse to start it until I finish this one.
Oops! I've been watching the AWC conference here on RUclips under my pen name. (It's me, Diana Garland, Hi everyone. lol.) I forgot to toggle back to my name tonight.
Kick Ass Sweetie Fund
Ahhh, I love that!!!
I’m writing a book about a woman getting over heartbreak and learning to love herself again. I will definitely be working on that for camp nanowrimo but I also have another book I finished writing but my beta readers are reading it.
Congratulations!
@@HeartBreathings thank you 😊
I like my weeks to start on Sunday. Suggestion, make the weekly section of the planner without the days of the week or dates on it, so people can choose how to set it up. This would be a way to meet everyone's need and not create more work for you.
I love watching planning videos but am struggling a bit to apply it to myself! I'm wondering if any other non-fiction writers have advice? The plans always seem so good for fiction writers, but it's so hard for me to plan because before I can write a chapter, I have to do potentially hours/days of research. Super hard to wrap my head around a planning system that works!
Sarra's Igniter Fund!
if i could suggest something for your first sentence: instead of "hear" "see" words, why don't you describe what the river is doing? "The river roared so loudly it was if I was right next to it, not lost in the forest, alone, and scared." or something! good luck!
i absolutely love money so that Sarra Fund would work for me!
I just remembered its Camp NanoWriMo tomorrow, is it too late to start my preparation for a book ?
Look at that Coffee neon sign back there 😍☕ Is that new, or am I just now noticing it?
It's new!!
How about Fun When the Writing’s Done Fund or FWWD FUND. 😅
Sarra’s Slush Fund. Cannon Fodder.
Where do you get the word count meter? Is that something we could add to our websites?
Thank you for mentioning it. I forgot to add the link. I'll add it in a minute!
And yes you can just it anywhere you can post html
I'm in! How do I do this???
There's a link to join camp in the description and there's also a link to sign up separately for my workbook!!
@@HeartBreathings So excited - after taking your HB90 bootcamp and following you for all these years, I'm finally in. lol! Thank you!
If you haven't picked a name for your account, how about Sarra's Dragonfly Dream Fund.
That is so sweet, I love it!
