How To Join The Rough Draft Challenge

[@HeartBreathings]

Second video coming in about an hour or so, where I'll share my last minute prep!!

[@luvsnursing9946]

Thank you for all the hard work you and George have done

[@hollysanders1590]

Hi Sarra, I'm sorry, nothing like waiting until the last minute, but I want to sign up for Broken Chapter Society too, and even went back to the day it started but I'm not finding a join link...?

[@MillaSch]

Great first start you both did! 🎉 Maybe it would help if you integrate a short Q&A section on the website, to prevent a bunch of emails? 😅

[@debm9322]

My gosh, Sarra. You and your husband and crew are an inspiration. Thank you for all this hard work and hours you all are putting into this!

[@JadeMadison-e6h]

Thank you George we all say in unison lol 🎉 happy writing everyone!

[@jennymissen3523]

I am blown away by the commitment you and George have to this community. Thankyou doesn't really do justice. So excited to get started.

[@SusanGHaws]

Thank you George 📚📖📘

[@s.l.perrin5424]

Thank you Sarra and George for programming this site for us!!

[@SDHegyes]

Having done websites before, I'm extremely impressed how quickly you and George were able to put this together. Looking forward to the challenge. Congrats on creating the challenge and site and good luck to everyone doing the challenge! I'm excited!

[@KialaGivehand]

Thank you to both you and George!! What a beautiful site. Easy to navigate, no distractions, and who doesn't love a good graph to see your progress!!! Woohooo!! Excited to get started and nervous to the bone. Haven't touched my fiction work in almost 10 years. The stories have been brewing. Hoping I still remember how to write 🤭.

[@KHWriting]

Thank you Sarra and George. I'm sure this was not as easy as it seems to build, especially with only one month to build it from the ground up. Both of you continue to be so amazing to this community!

[@liziewriting]

I love my RDC page! You made it so clear and easy to use, and it was easy to change when I managed to make a mistake. Thank you so much! Happy writing, everyone!!

[@MWinklerBooks]

I just signed up with a 50k goal. I'm so excited to be a part of RDC and to finally be working on the final book in my trilogy! 🥰 Thanks so much for setting this up ❤❤

[@elliestephenson4146]

Whoop. Whoop! Thank you Sarra and George! Honestly beyond my expectations given how quickly you put this together and everything else you have going on.

[@CagleDesignsWA]

Woohoo!!! Thank you George and Sarra!! You are awesome!

[@cindykline9379]

Sarra, thank George for all his hard work! Can't wait for the Rough Draft Challenge!

[@Dan-ne2et]

Fantabulastic! 🥳 Good luck, everyone! 🍀✍️

[@darlenemichele5625]

Thanks to both you and George for creating this challenge for us! So, grateful for you and excited to win the Sapphire level! 💙💙💙

[@luvdaroc]

Thank you so much! I love this community and I'm grateful for your ingenuity and generosity in showing the rest of us the way. 💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@paysonjewelry]

This is AWESOME!!! Love so much how you model progress, Sarra. Thank you! And, thank you George. This will be GREAT!

[@Brittn3ySamon3]

I took a coding class this past year and know there was a lot of work put into this site. Thank you George! You both did an amazing job! 🎉

[@starlapadgett6736]

Thank You Sarra and George, I'm all signed up. Good luck everyone 🥰

[@philippawood5047]

1LOVE IT, Sarra!! And way to go, George, this is amazing! I really like the simplicity of the RDC site, it has enough bells and whistles to keep me motivated but not so many widgets that I am distracted from my real goal: writing. Just updated with my first small start today, but words are words.🤓 I actually really like the title you used as well - it feels much more achievable to create a rough draft and I think it is healthier in the long term than anything with novel/book in the name as that implies maybe ready to publish. In reality the rough draft is a pivotal point on a long and rewarding journey. Thank you!💜

[@tonyaroche7733]

Omg! Such a wonderful Halloween treat to have three videos. ❤️ Excited to join the rough draft group. Thank you George and Sarra. 🙂

[@jenniferevelynhayes]

Just signed up! Thank you George and Sarra for creating this fun program!

[@ReeseRyanWrites]

Signed up for a Diamond Challenge of 70K. Got a book to finish. Thank you, Sarra and George!

[@hollysanders1590]

[@patg7714]

Just signed up! Thank you Sarra and George!

[@PolkadotSparrow]

You and George are so amazing! 👏 Thank you so much! I'm so excited for this!❤

[@PhasesOfGrowth]

Thank you George and Sarra for creating this!

[@jadinc77]

Thanks so much for all the writing resources! I've always wanted to do NaNoWriMo but my job is super mentally draining. Being able to have a lower word count goal (10k for me) pushed me to commit. And then doing your 5 day word sprint challenge helped me figure out my sprints and my WPM and gave me confidence that I can still participate in a writing challenge, even if I can't commit much time to it. Really appreciate the Preptober planner as well! Also, great work George! And a good tutorial for the site. Just set up my project!! Excited to get started in the morning!

[@jessicaaspen2717]

it's going to be a challenging month so I truly appreciate still feeling like I'm hitting a goal with the tiers. And if I get more than my saphire goal, then it's a bonus! Thanks for doing this. 💜

[@Mikkirose1]

This is great. I am amazed at all you are able to accomplish. Thank you so much and also please thank your husband. This is great! I did try to join the Facebook group, but you have to have a Facebook account. 😑 But now I can be here!🥰

[@dandytron2000]

Very exciting! Hopefully will finish my webnovel with your help...

[@aroyce8147]

I'm so excited for this! Thanks so much Sarra. And thank you George!

[@dianawelch399]

The website is beautifully simple! I love that it is so easy to work with and see my progress.

[@roxc.507]

Happy writing everyone. I'm looking forward to writing in a community this month. Thank you, Sarra and George ❤

[@SIMulatedSara]

HUGE thank you to you and George for making this website for us! You both are so kind and generous. I love seeing a mock cover of my book on the site!

[@t.a.creech4999]

Thank you George!

[@SharonKurtz90]

[@BrekkeEl]

We love George! Sarra thank you for being such a good advocate for all of us in the creative space! ❤

[@mostlymasque]

Once again so thankful to you, and George, for creating this safe space and community for us all. I had hoped, and was so happy when you decided to create the RDC. Still trying to decide between Ruby and Sapphire, how amazing to have that choice!

[@glitterandducttape]

[@bagongscrive]

[@tampagirl7533]

Super excited, I am with you starting November 1. I'll be signing up for the challenge. Can't wait.

[@KellysCreativeDreams]

Thank you to you and to George for the hard work to give us a safe place to track our progress. Happy Writing!

[@ChrisSchilter]

This is FANTASTIC! Thank you Sarra and George for setting this up for us!

[@llamalluvv]

Thank you so much to you and your husband for setting this up for those of us that do not want to support the use of AI. I've had an idea for a romance novel that I've been tinkering with for 5 years now and it's grown to be a series of six, but I've made almost no progress on them, because I only feel inspired when I'm in the shower or on a run. I am really making it a priority this month to at least flesh out my outlines so I can make sure all my loose ends will weave in at the end.

[@celestejohnson1972]

Thank you George! I have signed up to do writing every November and never did anything with it. I'm finally ready to get this book done. Thank you Sarra for being such an inspiration!

[@JacquelinElizabethWrites]

Thank you Sara + George! So much had work was put into this. We appreciate it.

I am doing both a personal (exercise/movement) goal, as well as a writing goal, and will be using two email addresses as suggested to track them...😉Thank you so much for bringing this to fruition... You are both rockstars in my book....🤩

[@Elizabeth-wr7mn]

Thank you Sarra. That's amazing. I can't believe you and George made this because it must have been so much work. Thank you! Aiming for Ruby but may end up changing it depending on how things go.

[@immaliemelmoth924]

[@eeveequeen25]

Can't wait for the vlogs!!! You and George did a fantastic job, I'm way more excited for this than I ever was for NaNo. I prefer to set my own writing challenge that's not based on word count ❤

Awesome! I'm going to go sign up! Thanks to you and George for getting the challenge and website set up in time for November! 💜

[@authorlacyhess]

Well...I managed to mess it up. I copied the wrong image URL and my cat jumped up and decided to rub my hand while I was attempting to correct it. The enter key got squashed and it created the account with a broken image. Sigh. Not sure if there's a fix for that blunder...

[@DeborahCarrAuthor]

Thanks George. So excited for this.

[@ghostyplans]

THANK YOU GEORGE! Anddddd is that the MOS COVER?! Edit: this site looks amazing! I like the simplicity! Looks so good!
