    I can't believe the end of the month is upon us. It hasn't turned out at all like I expected, but it's been one heck of a ride. How are you doing? Sending big encouragement your way if you're fighting for that win right now.

    A year from now, what will matter most is that your book exists in the world. The actual pre-order date (whatever it turns out to be ) will be lost in the dust of things to shed. ❤️🤗

    Oh Sarra, don't worry about disappointing us. I get it, I would feel like that too, but WE'RE HERE FOR YOU!! For YOU, not just for your books. We're your extended family and we support you no matter what. GOOD LUCK!!!

  • @elizalagonia1049

    You can do this!!! It's like the last essay/project/thesis of college and it's giving you a mental block and doubt but you can do it.
    I really hope this book doesn't break you. It's been a tough book that you've worked so hard on and I know you know what burnout feels like and you're trying to avoid it.
    You need this vacation coming up and you deserve it no matter what happens. So at 7 pm on Monday, no matter what happens, put it out of your mind and just enjoy the time off with your family.
    But most of all YOU CAN DO THIS.

    You have accomplished so much this quarter. In however way it ends tomorrow, YOU ARE A WINNER (and I mean of everything, not just nano). I for one will not be disappointed if you push the release of the book because I know it will be amazing once I get it in my hands. 💖💖💖

    I'm imagining you over there right now -- on the night of the 29th --- wrestling with an incredible amount of opposing forces and emotions. If the fans of your books are watching these vlogs, they couldn't possibly be upset with you after seeing how hard you've been working! And they would understand that release delays are because you care SO MUCH about giving them an amazing story. That it's a writer's job to serve the story first, and the fans will be MUCH happier for it. You taught all of us Hearties that golden rule and it's the ultimate truth! Love, love, love to you.

I'm at 57,807 tonight, and I plan on hitting 60k tomorrow, Monday. Let me inspire you! This is my first Novel, first NaNo, and I owe it to your encouragement. Let all of us, your fan club, inspire you! You can do this Sarra! You've got this! Big hugs! In love and light. :)

    I can not express how much the Heart Breathings community believes in you! We are down to the wire, but there is hope. A twenty thousand word day is a lot, but if anyone can do it, it is you. Please do not give up on yourself! You have never given up on us, we won't give up on you, treat yourself with the adoration and respect you deserve. You will accomplish great things with this novel, no matter what happens everything will work out. Love your soul! Remember how amazing you are! :D

  • @TerryeToombs
    @TerryeToombs 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    You are doing great no matter how it turns out! Every quarter, I set one simple goal and without fail, I end up failing, but not for lack of trying. I wish I could make my writing career my priority. However, I have a now 14 year old non verbal autistic son who is very low functioning. And it is a struggle every day. My husband was finally able to find a job close to home so now we can see him every night at dinner instead of for a week every three months. My point is - if you get up every day and keep moving forward, you are still winning. It might take you a little longer to get over that finish line, but you will get there. And isn't it supposed to be about the journey and not the destination? :D Have a wonderful and much deserved vacation with your family. You have all more than earned it! **Cheering for Team Sarra***

    Deep breaths, you can do hard things and your book is going to be spectacular.
    One of my big goals is for decluttering (one of the things I have started and will continue to do in 2021) and I blogged about this back in October:
    Last night’s therapy session the word Grace came into the conversation.
    Giving yourself Grace for the past spending, Grace for the ability to let go of sentimental items.
    I tend to think of things in black and white, but I need to find the gray space and create a Grace Space.
    Grace.
    Much love ❤️❤️❤️
    I’m looking forward to the HB90 course, when YOU are ready.

  • @jenlazaris5866
    @jenlazaris5866 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Whether or not you’ve made your goal or not, you have already won. You have worked so damned hard, and anyone with eyes can see that. How you are doing this intense writing, and managing to vlog, edit a vlog, raise two kids, and all the daily things, plus PCOS? I’m in awe. Your fans want a great book, and they will get it when it’s finished. That’s all that matters. You wouldn’t serve a cake that was half-baked, and you cant release a book before it’s ready. Be proud of yourself, Sarra. I’m proud of you!

    Wow, you have really been on a roller coaster ride this month and it’s been nail-biting. If anyone can pull this off, you can! I love HB90, the course was really helpful! I have made a lot of progress this quarter but I’ve also had several of my own unexpected opportunities which are exciting and overwhelming and are taking up extra time I didn’t plan in my quarter. Can’t wait to see how it turns out and set myself up for 2021!

    HI Sarra! You have done AWESOME! For those times when you let yourself get down, you need to remember that you are only ONE person. There are things that are going to make you feel like you are behind, can't do this, whatever. You are amazing, beautiful and supportive of others. I know you have this deadline hanging over your head, but you GOT THIS... what ever the outcome. don't think about whether or not you've had to cancel the pre-order. Look back at what you've accomplished in the past 6 of yoru 10 years. There are a lot of us out there that dream of having the success you've amassed. You have an amazingly supportive person in George. What will happen, happens. Remember that you have done everything beyond humanly possible to do this. You can't do more than what you've done to meet your goal. Sometimes, putting so much pressure on yourself only drags you down. BREATHE.
    I've not done anything past the plotting - and I'm okay with that. I learned so much during the plotting series with you that when I do sit down to write, I finally have something to work with. THANK YOU!
    Hugs & Blessings!

    You. Can. Do. It. I came across your Nano vlogs and have been looking forward to them each day! This year was my first Nanowrimo and actually my first time attempting to write a novel in general. I've been a member of Nano since 2015 and this is the first year I've written for more than a single day. I won on day 21 and I'm still writing! Currently at 85,000 words. You are inspiring. You can do hard things. I'm rooting for you! Your vlogs have been like a movie and I'm just waiting for the final ones to know how it ends! No matter what you are a true hero! You are so inspirational! Don't give up! :)

    I have been glued to your vlogs, following the progress of this book! You're working so hard, and if it hits another snag, please don't think of it as failing. Even if the book doesn't release on the date you chose for it, you've accomplished SO MUCH this year - this crazy year when so many other people and things have sort of ground to a halt and have had trouble getting back up and running. And on a personal note - if it weren't for you, and your courses, and your willingness to put yourself and what you do out there for everyone to see, and your unwavering help, I would never have accomplished my lifelong dream of becoming a published author, which I finally did this past October! I owe that to you. You're one of my heroes, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way. And that has nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not you release this book on time. :-)

Instead of looking at the stuff you haven't gotten done yet try to see what you have accomplished. You've written almost an entirely new book in a month, that's like winning nana twice in the same month lady!!! I would say that's pretty big!!!!! You deserve this vacation no matter what happens, please try to enjoy it.

    I'm so glad you mentioned that different writing techniques work in different situations, depending on the project and deadlines. I love writing sprints and find them incredibly productive, but, say, when editing, I just need to go. Also, if I'm in a flow w fiction, sprints aren't always as useful as when I'm pounding out a critical paper and need the breaks to check things.
    Good luck, and happy last day of NaNo!

    I think the important part is to understand that you could have had this book done like two weeks ago but it would have been worse for it. I have read many even traditionally published books with some things not clicking, twists not working etc. You could have had a worse book ready but you have a BETTER book almost ready. It doesn't matter how far you push your preorder, I don't think you need the readers who can't be understanding in that regard. Like gosh, you know how many times George RR Martin pushed the deadline on his last book? So what? You are not the type of author to push out 12 mindless copies a year just to cash in on that impatience, I wouldn't be following your journey if you were like that. You are a writer who writes good stories, best that you can, and best takes time. Remember the choice you made in the start of this month, would you have changed it? Would you leave it as a severely flawed book just to have it done by now? I don't think so.
