100% understand listening to the same song in repeat. I know I’ve played Good Day by Kim Jaejoong for 24 hour straight. My soul needed that song. I’m glad you were able to figure out the meet cute between characters that already know each other. Those are tough scenes to figure out.
If it makes you feel any better, I've restarted my book eight or nine times over the course of three years because I convinced myself it was terrible, and I've still not finished it. The struggle is real 😅
OH I FORGOT To answer your question for what I’d love to see in Madison’s book: I think for Madison it’s more about that redemption arc? I feel like she really came through at the end of Maisie’s book. And this might be a bit of an unpopular opinion but if her love interest is who I think it is (we peeped him in Maisie’s book too) then I’d actually love to see that aspect of Madison cheering for her team against the MMC’s team. Omg the amount of jealousy 👀 And another probably unpopular opinion is I feel like Madison takes being a cheerleader very seriously, hyping up the crowd. And isn’t just doing it for the popularity and attention (like Jade). So I’d actually love to see the ups and downs she faces as a cheerleader. I’m sure it isn’t all just Pom-poms, make up and flips haha. As for unresolved questions.. hmm I mean I did sense there might be another guy that might act as a love rival from Brentwood High? I mean as much as I don’t like Kyle for some reason I feel like he might have a part in the storyline. And then the thing with Landon? Her friendship or relation to him is a little interesting, like why was she super protective or zealous… jealous? Over Landon and Lacey? Oh also can we get a bit more of a background story of why she did what she did to Maisie when they did tryouts? I have a feeling Jade had something to do with the sabotage. Every time there was a scene with Madison in Maisie’s book she always seemed a little sad or melancholic when it came to Maisie 😢
OH RIGHT and please, I’d lOooOoOoVe to see more of Jade’s downfall in Madison’s book. She doesn’t deserve a redemption arc please. That showdown that Madison had with Jade in Lacey’s book? Hello? YAAAAA GIIIRRRL 🎉
Honestly, I'm struggling with writing my second book as well. Anything I write I just feel stuck. I just don't like how the book is going and I'm not to sure how to fix it. So I feel you, girl.
Being honest, I don't watch vlogs if they are not writing or reading related at all :) But I love none-writing/reading stuff in a writing or reading vlog :)
I had no idea you loved fantasy romance so much!! I got it into my head you only critique contemporary romance manuscripts like your books! Whoops haha now I will definitely have to sign up a manuscript critique once my second draft is complete! :)
Sarah, I was wondering, do you still outline like the way you showed us in those 2 videos in the past? I like the idea you have that you put photos you print out into your notebook to help visualize your characters. I would like to try your method and I hope it helps me start writing again because I'm stuck too. 🥴 And I love how you share your author work and lifestyle in your videos. ❤
My outlining changes for every book, and I actually haven’t really in-depth outlined since those videos-since I outlined all the MLT books in those videos, nothing new has come up yet to outline haha. You’ll have to let me know if that method works for you!
Flared jeans would look SO good on you I can already see it! If you do want to try baggy, maybe you can go for a more high waisted trouser or utility style pants? I think I let out a tiny scream when you mentioned Madison’s book 🥹 I love having realisations too, so refreshing. Have you made a mood or inspo board for the book??? I’d love to peek! 👀

I’ve been restarting for years now I don’t know how many times I’ve restarted over

Absolutely adore the phone screen haha 🥰🥰🥰

I feel you on the realising you need to start again, and having to work things out on the fly! Hope you got some sleep!
🥹❤️
I feel you on visualising the book. I have been struggling with visualising my books as well lately. I hope you figure out your book
"That doesn't happen...he doesn't do that..." LOL
Great vlog! Your dedication to your work is really inspiring! Don't forget to take care of yourself, too.
Thank you so much!🥹🫶🏼

I love this song! My personal favourite in the album is Outlaw. @@AuthorSarahSutton
