The pain of wanting to watch this but needing to write my own novel...
You can do it!
Same😭😭😭🤣
Same here 😭
Same
Same
the fact you have 3,158 unread emails is probably the most relatable thing *ever* 😂
😂 they just keep coming in
Agreed!!! It’s the same for me except that I have over 4000!!! 🤭
Then there's me, I have to read every single email as soon as I get it😂
@@ellis_little_life 😂
@@ellis_little_life sameee! I can’t stand seeing the red numbers
also, *LOVE* the reminder at 16:04 . 'progress is progress. writing can be extremely frustrating sometimes, but we all have a reason that we write, and we should 100% keep writing.'
this video was so satisfying to watch. what an achievement!! 👏👏
Thank you so much Lauren!!
I know this is a one year old video but I just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for watching! I go back and rewatch this a lot myself :)
You're adorable with the spinning arm celebration lol
It's so awesome to see you hit the 50k mark in 30 days! I know it can be hard but you did it! :D Congrats!
Thank you Bree! Lol once I did the little celebration for 10k it was too fun so I had to keep it going 😂
I actually started writing an lgbt story yesterday about coming out to yourself and people around you and finding that family isn’t always who’s your blood. Just seeing you write and work on your book has given me hope for mine. Thank you.
That sounds like an awesome story!! Good luck and happy writing!
that sounds interesting🥺wanna know the progress ever since
Instant subscription. I also subbed from my author account. Loved that you hit 50K! Way to hit that goal!
Awesome! Thank you!!
It's so satisfying see your word count grow by the day!
I think it's so fun! Thanks for watching!!
I love your "Woo!"s after every 10K. It was great.
If you count that a month is 31 days, rather than 30, ANNND you remember that you took your birthday off, you did technically complete the first 50K within a month. ;) I'm glad YT suggested this video to me. It was a lot of fun to watch even though I know it was from a while back. Congrats!
Thank you S.D.! Hahahaha I like your math! I agree 😂. Thanks for watching!
That's freakin AWESOME Sara! Writing a book in a month is no easy feat. Now you know you can do it for other book ideas around 50k :)
Thank you John!!
Woohoo! I found myself celebrating with you whilst watching this 👏👏👏. Well done! This is impressive and encouraging for me. I started writing a book and I'm hoping to push myself to finish writing the first draft in one month. I'll share my journey on UA-cam as well soon!
A lot of people would argue forcing a book in such a small amount of time is ruining the possible quality of the story. Something to consider is that the first few weeks or months, while you are inspired, is when you write your best work. This is the case for me. Pressure can be horrible but done organically can be very good for the end product, in this case being a good novel.
I didn't force any of this tho which was the amazing part! I felt zero pressure and was just having a great time! The book itself is not done, probably has another 40k to go, but I am super happy with what I wrote as a first draft. Later drafts are for improving the story, can't build a sandcastle without first putting the sand in the box!
YES EXACTLY ❤️
Such an inspiring discipline and progress! I'm loving my streak this camp, I was so sure I was going to flop but my chart line just keeps following the nano goal to hit 16k this month. It's crazy bc, otherwise, I would probabbly not write everyday and would be so late in finishing my 200k first draft, so it's amazing you are able to do your own nano whenever you want!
Thank you! It just feel in the right time of year between revisions of my project DE that I thought it would be a good idea! Good luck and happy writing!
I feel the urge to sew you a super hero cape. OMG, Sara, what a journey!!! And not only these amazing, incredible, inspired days of writing, but your whole writing journey here on UA-cam. 5k in a day - would you have thought that possible a year ago? You really can be proud of yourself - heck, I am proud of you, LOL! You did an awesome job, and I hope you celebrate even more than with your cute dance. ^_^
Thank you so much Sanja!! I would love to wear a cape after this 😂 I deserve it... maybe that’s how I’ll celebrate! Now I need to go see what kinds of capes I can find online lol
Oh my gosh I found your channel today, the same day I got a story idea and started to develop it a little further. You have been really motivating me to write today and you are just so positive that’s it’s amazing. I hope you will be able to finish all the drafts of this book and hopefully (if you want to) publish it some day as well.
Thank you Ana! I'm glad you've found my videos so helpful! Good luck and happy writing!
Congratulations on your best month ever! and happy belated birthday.
Thank you so much!!
I loved this video. I'm excited to discover the rest of your channel. This video was really inspiring; I'm going to have to attempt this myself at some point :)
Welcome! Happy to have you here :)
Love you milestone celebration dances!!!! This video was so inspiring!
Thank you!!
Well done, inspiring. love the 'whoo, yippee, yay' at the end! Loool.
Thank you!
your day 7 update is exactly what i needed today since it's father's day today so i'm gonna be out all day until probably very late, but NOW i see you got started around 11pm and wrote a whole deng 2k words, that's not shabby!
Thanks!
Congratulations! This is so motivating, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!!
That's an amazing accomplishment. For you I'm sure it was a tumultuous journey but the video montage makes it look so easy!
It definitely was harder than it looked but I'm really happy with the final product of the video! Thanks for watching!
I loved watching this video! Also, your "WOO!"s at each 10k mark was so cute.
Thanks, Zara!!
congrats!! such a fun video and so cute each time you did your little dance :)
Thank you!!
Woo!! (Waving my arms along with you🙌) congratulations sara! Now I need to get back to my own WIP🤭
Hahaha thank you!! Good luck and happy writing!
That was an absolute epic. Beautiful.
Thanks!
I am so happy for you! 50k words that fast is amazing!
Thank you so much!!
Good morning, Sara! 🌞☕🌹Congrats to the incredible writing you did in this vlog.
Thank you!!
@@SaraLubratt You're very welcome, Sara! ❤
I'm happy you're writings been going so well. Keep up the good work Sara 😄
P.S Your spinning arms celebrations are so adorable❤
Thank you so much!!
Very inspiring writing project!!!
Thank you!
Awesome dedication!
Thank you!!
How could I not click on this?! Awesome stuff.x
Glad you enjoyed!
Very nice! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Congrats. Not many people can actually achieve 50k in 30 days. Keep it up. Did you finish the book or was it just the 50,000 words?
Thank you! The 50k, there's still a bit more story to be written
@@SaraLubratt Awesome. Hope the rest goes as well.
@@TimRG Thank you!
Another GREAT video Sara...🤩.
Because I am a BIG writer, I'll need way MORE words to finish my story.
Which is to say that I am currently at 50,900 words/chapter 24 of my LGBTQIA+ Young Adult novel and with what I 'think' I want to say, I'm about a third of the way through.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that people will never know how lucky they are when they can write a nice and concise story and do it in a nice and economical way.
Sometimes less really is MORE!!!
Just can't always get there myself...😔.
But good on all of those who can...☺😌!!!
Happy writing always...😊.
Thank you, Winn!! The story definitely isn’t over yet, it’ll likely be 100k-115k but because 50k is the nanowrimo pace and that’s to “achieve” a very rough draft of a book is how I titled the video :) I definitely am more of an overwriter than this 😂
Congrats!!!
Thank you!!
epic! great job!
Thanks!
Great Job. Congratulations
Thank you!
Wow! Well done. Loved watching it. But I was shocked, when I realized, that you had written "only" 103 pages at 45,000+ words. So I highly recommend, using standard pages. Since I'm using them I feel much more comfortable, because the progress can be seen more clear.
Thanks for the suggestion! I just look at the word count :)
sara... how does it feel to be on a completely other level!!! omg
😂 thank you! The book isn't done by any means but it felt so good (and unreal) to accomplish this!
CONGRATULATONS!!
Thank you!!
I’m doing it right now!! 35k words on day 16, only 6 more days then I’m done!
That's awesome! You got this!
more of that, thabks
Thanks!
wow. 3k words in 2 hours. i cant do that. but dang. youre flying at that pace.
Some days are faster than others!
Wait. What's your favorite conspiracy theory? 👀
(Mine is that the Titanic was swapped with her damaged sister ship in order to cash out on insurance)
Lol the hollow moon theory. I haven't heard of that one! *Going to do a google deep dive*
That's my 'favorite' too! There are definitely some questionable bolts involved, at the very least.
@@bodine219 😂
@Talitha Warren 😂
When I’m in a mood, I pull out Wayyy more words than normal. And that mood lasts about a month then I have burnout lol
That's so cool though! (the burnout isn't, but the rest is)
Wow! Good job! Now you've remaining the worst part for me: editing (and rewriting) hahaha. Good luck!
Lol when I get there I'll enjoy the journey :)
Great video
Thanks!
this is so fun to watch. dont mind me im just looking for inspiration to finish my dissertation *cries
You can do this!!
@@SaraLubratt awe thank you!
what writing software/platform do you use?
Microsoft Word!
Ive benn writing a chapter book, nad I’m only on chapter six. And I’ve been writing for three weeks! How do I do this?
That's a great pace!!
@@SaraLubratt Hahaha, this was my daughter. She finished her first book and it is so wonderful. She really has loved your videos and found them very helpful. Thank you!
you remind me of amanda in a good way 💛
and like 2014-2016 sabrina
Thanks!
Definitely a compliment :)
ok ,... so i write random stuff also as a disabled person i would like to write my own book but don’t no we’re too start i would rather write it on. paper
You can write a book on paper! I have a book about getting started that you can watch here: ua-cam.com/video/BgeLuAnxd-M/v-deo.html but ultimately the best advice is just to start!
@@SaraLubratt thanks you so much 😘🥰😍
But did you finish the book? And can we read it?
No, just a first draft, it will have several more drafts before it can be read by others :)
@@SaraLubratt Hey! Just a check in, it's been two months, how is it coming along?
Is it any good?
I was very surprised with the quality considering how quickly it came together!
are you using Apple Pages, Sara?
Microsoft Word
I been working on my book for 4 years, anyway I can stay at it?
Absolutely!
Ok, your videos are good.
@@angryredneck8113 Thanks!
Yes ma'am
What program are you using?
Microsoft Word!
@@SaraLubratt oh, I kept hearing something like CRX or whatever and I thought that was a program lmao
@@GretSeat CBH is the project name!
I want to read your books! But I can't find them... do you write under a pen name?
They're not published yet but if you follow my journey, I'm keeping everyone updated on the publishing process and timing!
Funny, inspiring and mad
😂🙌
Yeah, but......what's the quality like....? I get that that's probably not the point, but..
It's a first draft. I live for the editing stage and never thought I would write something so quickly. I'm honestly very impressed with the quality of my words, though. It's by far the best rough draft I've written so far!
@@SaraLubratt Interesting. That's awesome. Do you feel like pushing yourself increased the overall quality because it forced you to put pen to paper instead of procrastinating?
Very well, but "The art of writing is in the rewriting". Yeah, but you already know this. Good luck!
Yes it is indeed :) thanks!
The thing is, it's really not that hard. Tons of professional authors do that consistently. I can write a 100k+ book in 20 days of actual work (I don't write on weekends), working maybe 3-3.5 hours per day. I never miss a 5k goal every single day. It just takes dedication.
creativity is a muscle, it takes time to build up to that but that's awesome! I hope to be close to that level some day!
@@SaraLubratt And you can be. It just takes continually tweaking your system to make it more efficient. You'll get there. Lots of people do. Best of luck.
@@BitchspotBlog Thanks!
According to Closed Captions you are now Sarah LeBron. 😌
Hahahaha I love that! 😂
Publish plz
Workin' on it!
I'm really early
Yay!!
@@SaraLubratt Congrats for the 50k words!

How to write a book in a month. Wear a moose shirt tonight.
Consider it published ✅
😂 pretty much!!
Me: **writes book in 5 days**
Also me: **edits for 6 months** 💀
😂
SHES JUST SAYS EVERY % SECONDS HOW MUCH SHE HAS WRITTEN? really
Yup! Vlogged every day!
I'm a turtle writer. I write average 300/400 words everyday. 😅😂
Progress is progress!
32 days? NOT technically 30 days?
you know who ALMOST won the first time, but didn't quite do the thing?
Rocky Balboa.
If you subtract days 30 and 31 then yes, it was 30 days 😂
