Top Comments of this video!! :3
I’ve been following for awhile. I don’t think I’ve commented ever. Not even remotely a writer but honestly just love listening to you talk. You’re very motivational and you put in such hard work in caring for your community. I believe I found you from a planner video and had no idea you were an author. I got your books on kindle and I’m excited to try reading them. Not my normal genre. Good luck with your book writing this November!

Oh, I think it would be cool to see a video covering plotting differences between a regular novel and a serial! Also, I love that James Scott Bell book on the Mirror Moment (Write Your Novel From the Middle). Very useful, good to see it shouted out! Finally, the aesthetics of your presentation are always flawless--you are so thoughtful.

Amen on the pep talk. It’s all about getting started towards achieving the goal. With huge goals, such as writing a novel, we definitely need to make a good plan that we feel will successfully work for us in taking us from where we’re at to where we want to be. Once we figure out the best way for us to accomplish our goal, we need to start the journey and no longer focus on how huge and difficult the goal is, but enjoy each step, knowing and trusting that we’re on the best path to succeed in achieving the goal.
Also, when it comes to huge goals it’s important to be wholly committed to succeeding, as in if I don’t succeed, I’m going to die trying. If we’re not that committed then we might not follow through when the going gets tough or when we discover that instead of taking one month to achieve the goal it takes one year, or possibly ten.

I'm more of a pantser with some plotting sprinkled in. I love watching plotting and outlining videos to get tips that I could incorporate into my process. I tend to rattle a story around in my head until I get the overall plot down and then I start writing the movie I see in my mind. I love your videos and they are always so helpful.

One cool thing that you mentioned is that we can tweak the process according to our own needs and i find that is the most important part to me. i'm not that big of an outliner myself but i struggle a lot with memorie issues. Those outlining, plotting, brainstorming videos help me a ton with that, since it gives me just the structure i need to write down and organize all the thougths i have throughout writing.
like, i'll have an awsome idea and then struggle to remember it halfway through but now i know i can trust my wiki to remind of it for myself, so i'm basically building all those pieces a i write and not before it.

Thanks Sarra. This is super helpful and gives me confidence in my writing. I am writing a cozy mystery series and would love to learn more about series plotting. The Preptober planner is awesome. I love it. You are so generous with your materials. I think I am a Panser. This is my first Nano Wrimo. So excited to be here!

You made my day and then some when you mentioned writing (this?) as a serial! I grew up watching serialized tv and fell in love with my genre, but I've realized (much to my frustration, among many other uncomfortable emotions) that, while watching the genre gives you an excellent sense of expectations and tropes etc. it is a far cry from having any foundation for writing such stories. Thank you SO MUCH! 💖💗 33:03

A long video on a possible outlining process! I know there's still more to cover on this topic, but please let me know if this was helpful and where you still feel stuck or need help!
