I read by series, the longer the better. My man calls me a nerd and I don't care. I wrote a review before where I started with Sofia & Linus, read all of Paris, then went to the beginning with Liv. I have 2 more books to finish and have to wait, I am not patient and will probably buy them. Lol. Anyhow, thank you both for the awesome adventures. And hope you never loose that passion. Heather

She is so awesome. Inspirational, funny and adorable.

[@dinascott8815]

I only wish that I could give this more thumbs up. Thank you Sarah for proving it can be done and never giving up. This is EXACTLY the inspiration that new writers need!

[@NZNasserFantasyAuthor]

So glad I watched this, Sarah. I’ve pinned up a quote from you on my screen. Great to see you making your dreams reality. Thanks for the inspiration and making us laugh

[@AnnaMaledonPictureBookAuthor]

That was amazing! I'm sure I will be rewatching this every now and then. You deserve all the success you have, Sarah. Did I say it was awesome?

[@penelopesilver8509]

THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED THE SOUND. THERE IS NO TRANSCRIPT EITHER.

[@20Booksto50kRLiveEvents]

Please follow the instructions at the top of the video description. Also, enable subtitles if needed.

[@eileenmuellerauthor]

I remember meeting you at the volunteer desk that night!!! So funny

[@suemogensen1979]

I enjoyed this so much. - truly inspiring! Parts of it gave me goosebumps. I look forward to reading your series, seems like the least I could do. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this Sarah. I'll PM the address for you to send your pen. ;-) Thanks Martelle for your endless efforts to reach back and haul us up.

[@tillrhyder8617]

Absolutely fantastic presentation, a wonderful mix of inspiring, humorous and relatable content. I can't thank you enough for taking on the challenge of presenting. Your books are outside of my normal genres but I'm absolutely picking them up because I know that you will take me on a fun adventure, regardless of the genre itself. Well done!

[@AProlificAuthor]

I rode the Texas giant when I was a kid too.

[@shawkins79]

This talk was amazing. Really hit home for me.

[@penelopesilver8509]

Thete is no sound!!!

[@bephvilsted2141]

Would be nice if the audio worked!

[@kit888]

I used a volume booster app.

[@shelbabe804]

Of all the videos I've watched, I think this one really impacted me the most. Thank you for this wonderful, inspiring presentation! I am saving to be able to make it to next year's conference instead of watching everything on youtube.

[@BillSmithBooks]

Great speech, very inspiring. Love Sarah's persistence and energy and belief in herself.

[@cryptomancer2927]

Is the audio out for anyone else? Mal's was out too. It seems anyone who was on this stage now has their audio out for me

[@20Booksto50kRLiveEvents]

Please read the top of the video description for suggestions of how to solve audio issues.

[@ulkeshkosh6164]

The audio was great on my phone at even 50% volume. No issue for me. Really good presentation.

[@debzeb6899]

Turned the sound right up and enjoyed this talk.

[@tomgallier7245]

Great and inspiring talk. Well done! And thank you.

[@eileenomosa5406]

Thanks for reminding me how to turn my challenges into opportunities. Sometimes I feel like I'm not busy enough for my brain to work faster - I used to be efficient when my kids were young, I was a grad student and I worked two jobs. Now I have only my writing and it takes time.

[@stevnwcurry]

This is currently one of my very favorite panels from Vegas. I still have some to go through though, so I can't guarantee it stays at the very top. But it seems likely that I'm going to be watching this over and over when I feel the drive dragging down. One of the funniest parts is, you retooled some advice I give to others all the time, then tossed that advice right back into the teeth of my whining and obstructions.

[@choosehappiness888tarot]

This is a great speech! So inspiring!❤❤

[@aniketgore0]

This one is awesome presentation. Thanks for this.

[@livmilesparanormalromanceb6891]

Great talk, thank you!

[@BrookeDeLira]

Thank you so much for this. A lot of valuable advice here.

[@shannonworkauthor]

This was so inspiring ❤️

[@claricesmyth]

Is the audio completely messed up on this video for anyone else? I’ve tried listening to it on different devices and it is totally incoherent.

[@mariavalente6304]

It IS what you put in your body and your mind.

[@s.l.richardson451]

I want her pen!

[@isyrt5205]

Sorry, no Sound...

[@20Booksto50kRLiveEvents]

Please follow the direction at the top of the description for resolving sound issues for this video.

[@eileenmuellerauthor]

I have a hat from James Blatch and Mark Dawson that was intended for someone else but given to me!! I technically did not steal it. It days WRITERS ARE HOT!!! I wear it out dictating! Thanks, Sarah.

[@joexyoungsgetwritinghorror3528]

This would be 100% improved by having proper audio.

[@kit888]

I used a volume booster app on my phone. Seriously.

[@joexyoungsgetwritinghorror3528]

@@kit888 I watch on a PC. It's not just a volume issue, it sounds as if the audio is scrambled on a lot of their videos. Other videos are fine.

[@comteroi9219]

@@joexyoungsgetwritinghorror3528 I'm also on Pc. Watched it with headphones and speakerse. It's fine. If you can hear it, good. Stop complaining.

[@joexyoungsgetwritinghorror3528]

@@comteroi9219 Thank you for your kind and helpful response.

[@bigphilly7345]

“If you’re getting burnt out, consider the genre.” Yes, yes, yes! Great presentation… easy on the eyes, too.

[@SignificantOwl]

Okay, fine talk and all, but very little to do with "writing a long series." Misleading title.
