Yes PLEASE to ALL the videos!!!! Your material is always so helpful. I have rewatched most of your writing craft videos multiple times. I NEED more on all of these topics of only to hear your take on them. Love you and the work you do here in the writing community. ❤️
I'm so happy to see the writing content back! You are a fabulous teacher. Yes, please continue with videos on these elements. (Love the pink shirt. It lights up your glow!)
Can't recommend KM Weiland's blog and books enough. I've read other books on story structure and struggled with understanding the concept of GMC, but reading KM's book on Story Structure I totally got it. It changed my writing and my books.
The hook is so important because we're so used to instantaneous gratification with technology, the internet, and streaming. I've found myself DNFing more books as I get older, some for other reasons, but most for not being able to catch my interest soon enough.
I would love a video on cliffhangers! I want to start writing a dynamic series (after writing romance for ages) and have no idea how to make a satisfying ending with a cliffhanger
Yes I would love to see more indepth videos on these topics that would be really useful! This really helped me for my piece for camp nanowrimo as its my 1st nanowrimo I'm really excited to learning more! Count me in 😍💕
Yes please! More of everything that you mention in this vlog. Sorry, I sneezed and forgot the words. But I love how you manage to make each vlog about things of what to do and not do. Thank you for your vlog that it was truly insightful and interesting. Going to put it on watch later when I do work on my werewolf story. Right now busy with house stuff.
I'd really love a long video/discussion about how to increase stakes without it seeming contrived - which is maybe also a video about getting stakes set up without it seeming too obvious about how it's being done? I fall into worrying that a lot of these "perils" seem overdone or obvious to the reader and that furstrates me when writing.
I agree. I would also like to see a longer video on this. I've seen so many stories with high stakes that still failed to grab me, and others with incredibly low stakes that had me riveted. It seems like so much comes down to the execution. I'd like to see more about what makes a story's stakes actually work for the reader
Yes Sarrah I would like to see sepret videos, like an entire series, so we can have a hole video on a hook, what it means, alle the examples we have, a sepret video on characters and even a series on writing great charaters and I would love for you to expand apount it.
Thanks so much for breaking this down. I would love to see more, well, about everything. I've got stories or characters, but sometimes just don't know what to do with them to make them become a full book. HELP!
Yes, please! I love the way you explain the writing process. And writing a series-the five must haves. Thank you so very much for sharing your tidbits of knowledge and experience. Hope you are doing well
Thank you so much for sharing your concept of sarra-hangers! I love the idea of resolving each story but also incorporating the hook for the next story in the ending. I'm contemplating writing a series right now and I feel like you've just given me something to think about as I structure it.
So my hook is a person being a spy sent to marry a rival family to discover the secret the family has been hiding for centuries, she the spy is suddenly murdered, her murder scene is the prologue of the book, so the book starts with her being murdered, her murder brings back home the male protagonist, I am intending to make this a 4 to 6 book series, each book dedicated to a member of the male protagonist family and follow their quest to stay alive and finding love, yes I would love to see more of this topic, love the video on point as always.
Hey Sarra, I think a series on each topic, because there is SOOOOO much info on each subject, would be amazing and I'd love you forever. Also have you ever thought about making a Patreon account, you are probably one of hte only people I'd actually support past a month lmao.
Love your videos, thanks for the tips and for opening up so much about the ups and downs of your writing journey. It makes you feel like a good friend even though we've never met. I'm always rooting for you!
Love, love, love the writing videos and all the resources you offer. When you use your iPad what programs do you use for crafting your novel or do you just use the iPad to write?
I don't really use my iPad for writing much. I use it mostly for Goodnotes as a journal or notebook and for Pinterest or just playing around! When I'm writing, I'm mostly using my Chromebook (now that I have it back) or my laptop. But since I write in Google Docs, I do sometimes use the iPad if it's the easiest option at the moment!
@@HeartBreathings my phone is my biggest distraction so I wanted to start bringing along my iPad when I go places so I can focus on my novel 📝 notes. I saw your iPad in a few of your videos so I just thought I’d ask. Thank you so much Sara for all you do❤️
Thanks so much for this video, it’s great! I would absolutely love longer videos on each of these, or even a whole series each, with examples of books to go read that do it well, or something like that. It would be really helpful! 😃
I am looking for more discussion on Needs vs Wants. I know what they want but how do you figure out what they need or vice versa? What about resources about needs (psychology or go over hiearchy of needs more in depth in the relationships sections maybe) and that sort of thing applied to characters.
I think sometimes it's hard to tell as the writer if it's enough, because we are so familiar with the story that we can't see how a reader will react to it!
Hey Sarra I loved this video as usual. Do you think you could do a video/videos on a countdown to beginning your novel. What needs to be done and what is helpful if it’s done too (even if it’s not necessary). I don’t know if the concept makes sense. It does in my head, lol! Just an idea. Thanks so much for all you do.
Love your new space! And yes - a series on these topics would be greedily consumed 😋 I’ve been binging your other videos as i procrastinate… um, study … before nano. Thanks! You’re a continuing fountain of inspiration!
I find an incredible amount of inspiration and motivation from your videos, your website, and course. I would certainly appreciate extended videos on any of the categories you mentioned today. Thank you, as always, for your guidance and wisdom.
I'd love to see a video on how to plot a long series, in detail. I know that you have series videos, but my question is, how do you come up with so many related plots?
This was so insightful! You are such an awesome teacher with your insights and examples across the genres that it helps to understand the material even more so with the multiple examples! Absolutely would love more vlogs on each element!! Thank you so much for such great content and inspiration! Love your new office! And...can't wait for the series finale of The Shadow Demons Saga!!!🥰
Let me know if you want to see a longer video on each of these elements! Happy almost-camp-nano everyone!
Yes PLEASE to ALL the videos!!!! Your material is always so helpful. I have rewatched most of your writing craft videos multiple times. I NEED more on all of these topics of only to hear your take on them. Love you and the work you do here in the writing community. ❤️
Definite yes to more videos on these concepts, especially cliffhangers! Can’t wait to hear more about these in the future! 💚
@@joannaholden943 ^^This^^ Yes, please!
Yes please do longer videos on each of these five points!
Yes, please!! The way you explain it makes it easy to put it into practice.
I'm so happy to see the writing content back! You are a fabulous teacher. Yes, please continue with videos on these elements. (Love the pink shirt. It lights up your glow!)

I completely agree with this!
Right? This is finally really sinking in and I’ve leaned into this with the my new series, making sure those first few sentences catch and pull!
Also, I love the washi tape storage in the background! It looks so pretty!
I would love a video on cliffhangers! I want to start writing a dynamic series (after writing romance for ages) and have no idea how to make a satisfying ending with a cliffhanger

I love small cliffhangers! Especially if it’s a series. They often can become the following books main hook. 🤗. Thanks for these tips Sara!
Yes please more longer videos on each of those elements would be amazing thank you Sarra!
Yay! Another writing content! I bought KM Weiland's book. Thanks for the rec! :) Yes, more detailed videos please.

Loved the video❣️. I think a breakdown/more info on each part would be great/helpful videos to watch.
I would love to see separate instructional videos on the fundamentals of novel writing.
I just love you, Sarra! You’re so generous with your time and knowledge and I am so grateful! You rock, sis! ❤️
Hey Sarra, I think a series on each topic, because there is SOOOOO much info on each subject, would be amazing and I'd love you forever. Also have you ever thought about making a Patreon account, you are probably one of hte only people I'd actually support past a month lmao.

I would love a series on writing great characters.
Love all these videos you upload that have tips about writing. I don't know what I would do without them!
Sarahhhhh we need and want all the things! This is such perfect timing! I would love videos breaking down each thing you talked about.
Thank you for this, Sarra! It's a great help especially now that I'm plotting my story. I do look forward to an in-depth video about these elements.

I use Pages to write on my iPad. It will export as Word or Acrobat files.
Thanks so much for this video, it’s great! I would absolutely love longer videos on each of these, or even a whole series each, with examples of books to go read that do it well, or something like that. It would be really helpful! 😃
Same for me. 😊
A separate video on each would be awesome 🖤🧡

I worry that my conflict is not enough…but maybe it is? Idk!! Love these videos!
