    Besides the exercise benefits, I find that walking outside gets me out of the dense fog of normal, high pressure life. I can think clearly and solve a lot of problems just by getting out of the house and walking around. I can only imagine what hiking on mountain trails does for you!

    Good morning, Sara and happy Friday! I'm very proud of you for what you've accomplishment with Project DE, but I'm also sorry for the kink you had in your neck. And I can't wait to read when it is published. I also finished draft 2 of my manuscript and proofreading it myself, as I've started working on my other one which might be a series, just like the Goosebumps series. Anyway, have a lovely day, happy hiking and reading draft 7. ❤✌

    You're an inspiration, Sara. I've never seen someone so dedicated to their book share their journey. It's really awesome to see. Big request: Any chance you can do a video that talks about what you changed between drafts (generally speaking). And any advice you'd give yourself to past!sara in each of those stages? I think that would be such a cool video to see all the growth and lessons learned through your hopefully debut novel. Look forward to reading this when you publish it.

    • @SaraLubratt
      @SaraLubratt  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes!! I’m planning on making a video about that when I’m done with draft 7! I definitely learned some things about myself and how I need to write in the future

    Sorry to hear about your neck! If going to the doctor is not an option, you could try having some B complex vitamins. I've been prescribed that for pinched nerves in the past, so it could help. Energy drinks like monster and the like have that vitamin blend, so maybe you could give it a try that way. I've also used some over the counter desinflammatories like Ibuprofen. Hope you feel better soon!
    It's really cool to hear about your editing process. I'm really pumped up for this book so I hope it all goes well! 🙌

    • @SaraLubratt
      @SaraLubratt  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't know what I doctor could do for it :/ I have an appointment with a myofascial release specialist who might have the best chance at helping me out with something like this. B vitamins... that's an interesting idea, I'll have to look into that. Thank you for your suggestions!

    For me it's pillows. If mine is too soft or too low, I wake up with a stiff neck. I use a stack of folded blankets for firmness and height adjustability.

    hey i'm relatively early!
    the first example, those 3 words didn't seem wholly unnecessary, i liked them actually. aesthetically pleasing, and all that. but it's your call :)
    the 2nd example, i agree with you completely.

    • @SaraLubratt

      Yeah I think it’s preference but I kinda like the streamlined versions! I have some other more flowery sentences!

    Yeah I am not a believer of chiropractors. Go with the massage next time. Your hiking always makes me want to go outside and hike, but I definitely don't have your views. I'm in the Chicago area. I'm also not really in the best shape, but I'm hoping to do a bit of hiking this summer maybe walk some trails we have nearby or perhaps I might be able to get adventurous and try one of the Parks like Rock Cut. Idk, we shall see. Congrats on your continued progress with your Draft 7.

      Interesting, I'll have to look into that! I'm pretty sure I have a muscle pulling in my back that's pulling on my neck weird.
