PLANNING MY NEW BOOK 🔮✨ Returning to the Shadow World

[@jillnelsonmalmt6085]

🥳🥳🥳 so very excited! I just became the director of our local library and I just bought the first 11 books of the series to add to our library collection! I’ll look into the spin off series as well! And we’re definitely getting DoVS! So excited to see all that is coming about! 🥳🥳🥳

[@SarraCannon]

Oh my goodness you did?! That's bringing tears to my eyes!!

[@jillnelsonmalmt6085]

@@SarraCannon once I get into libdata and hoopla, I’ll order the ebooks and audio books too! 💜💜💜

[@ttmoanamosley1447]

I tried to get my local library to do that 😢 unfortunately I couldn't.... That's so amazing 👏 🎉

[@jillnelsonmalmt6085]

@@ttmoanamosley1447 it’s the perks of being the director… deciding what books we want to bring to our patrons. Keep putting them in the suggestion box and requesting them on LibData and Hoopla. Request them through InterLibrary Loan and talk them up while other patrons are around. Get other patrons to request them, then they’ll see that others want to read them too. Hopefully that should peek everyone’s interest.

Sarra, You don't know this, but you're my greatest champion. Family and friends encourage me by discouraging me: "When are you gonna be finished with that book of yours?" "What if it doesn't sell?" "Well, if you were actually going to be a writer, don't you think you would've done it by now?" Your voice blocks out all the others. Your uplifting spirit and all-things-are-possible attitude keep me motivated. Congratulations on your achievements and successes to come -- including a top-rated Shadow Demons television series 🔹❤

[@krembry08kentucky]

Your planner/plotting notebooks are GOALS I love how you set them up so much!

[@Sina-aka-potatosupreme]

An amazing end of a series was the last season of “Bones”. They visited all the important places and people that appeared through the many years and tied up so many threads. It was just wonderful for fans who followed the whole series.

[@donnatoole9834]

Thank you for the uplifting video! I have been away from KZbin becuase I’m in Asheville and hit with hurricane Helene. I got internet back today and it lifted my spirit to see this video! ❤❤

[@freeshadow8700]

You inspire me, I need to follow my heart and finish my book. Thank you for honesty and frankness, it helps me a lot.

[@SarraCannon]

I know you can do it!

[@brandiwilliams6969]

I have been following you for years. I remember when you posted on fb asking if anyone would be interested in coffee chats. I will wait for everything you publish! Congrats on DOVS!!

[@jaquelinemythril2602]

Sarra, I am so happy to see you allowing the writing to be what it needs! Honestly, you are so inspiring to me (and many others). It's through your content that I've written more on a story that has been in my mind since around 2008 or 2009. I have finally been writing in it for the last couple years and am beyond excited to add to it until completion. It's been your content that helped me see that it's ok that I have taken my time with it. I love my story, and I think I needed to age to make the story even better ❤

[@cathiemalinowski-brown7133]

Your enthusiasm is so infectious. Looking forward to seeing you plotting the AMOS series and set up of your plotting notebook.

[@KellysCreativeDreams]

Lol that’s what I said then read your comment. Creative Blessings!

[@shay494]

That's intro is soo good! Especially you looking up from the candle!

[@SarraCannon]

Yay I'm so glad you love it!

[@Laura-ti2tm]

VS was definitely the book your heart needed to be written right now, and I'm do glad you followed that! You may have just needed a break from Shadow Demons. Thank you for making your books the best they can be. This is all part of your incredible success story ❤

[@ttmoanamosley1447]

I'm so excited for all the upcoming things, Shadow Demons holds my heart, and I absolutely love that world.

[@uninterupptedwriter]

I'll never forget those writing diaries, especially when you were in New Orleans. I know it was super stressful for you, but it felt like such an adventure for me and helped me finish a witchy book I was writing! So happy you're planning the next book in the series!

[@WanderingLadyBugs]

I love watching how you set everything up. It really inspires me. ❤

[@fralou_sind_kreativ]

I love the idea with the pocket wall!!! It's sustainable not only for you but for the planet as well

[@parishansen1037]

I'm always so fascinated and inspired by your process. I can't wait for more from the Shadow Demons world, both book 12 and A Mirror of Shadows!

[@laramiebriscoe8436]

My favorite Moira and David scene is folding in the cheese...LOL!

[@marie-claireallington851]

Really chuffed for you - HUGE HUG for getting Vanessa over the finish line :) And really cheering to listen to you and catching up with all the news. I know there is loads of opportunity all turned up at once, but I know you and George and Team Sarra will do all this :)

[@writer_surabhi_singh]

I'm super excited for ALL those spin-offs and of course Shadow Demons 12! Though is it just me or anyone else think Sarra is gonna draw out at least one of her projects into a muchh longer series? Loll. Also, the idea about delegating video editing stuff to other people is awesome. This way you'd get much more time and juice to focus on writing and other creative stuff. Gosh, I'm so looking forward to your upcoming works!

[@jenalang6065]

I’m so excited for the return to the Shadow Demon world!! 😃💜👏🏻 Also, I really like the new Spooktacular schedule.

[@ShailaMasterson]

I love how organized you are! I guess you have to be to get everything done as you do but I also love how you make everything your own like your planners. You’re such an inspiration! 😊

[@angelabublitz5912]

I cant wait for all the new things coming! I am especially excited for the audiobooks.

[@ranafawaz1767]

This is so exciting, it looks like it's all happening and I can't wait for everything, I love the idea for the scene card pockets, I think it's a great way to have things organized for your story in that way!!!

[@mmccaw27]

Love watching your videos and seeing how excited you are about your writing projects! I like watching these before I continue writing my book. I feel like your enthusiasm rubs off on me and then I'm super excited to dive back in to my story!

[@taniawaugh7702]

I love this, your excitement is so infectious!!! Can't wait to see everything unfold for you over the next year and beyond.

[@debbiestherapy]

I’m so happy for you! Congratulations 🎉. Nothing feels better than to have completed something you set to do! It’s all the sweeter when life has thrown in challenges! Congratulations! ❤

You seem more relaxed too.

[@nildam.bonilla5849]

I love your excitement Sarra 💜 I'm so glad you are back in your groove, and yes, things will be done exactly when they are done, we can't force them to be done or we will forever regret things about them. Hugs

So excited for Shadow Demons and ❤the hat!! Thanks for the fun video. 🎉

This is my business account. I follow you on both my business and personal channels. I love to see you moving forward at your own pace. Much love to you!!!

[@itcanbedonedollars3693]

I love those index card holders. One thing I use for transportation of my index cards is photo containers. They usually come in a set ( I got 12 in mine) & they fit my index cards & post it notes inside. I used them initially for all the sub topics in my Posthuman Horror Research. Now I use them for carrying my story notecards & they are protected.

[@Sam-lu5vb]

I'm so excited for all of the great things you have in store for us!

[@bahora3]

Your office decor has such a magical vibe to it, I love it! The tip-ins are so beautiful. As someone who is visual, it’s so motivating plotting in a journal with inspirational pictures. Also, really like the new idea with the index cards. I might give it a try. Congrats again on the release of The disappearance of Vanessa Shaw! Can’t wait to read it ☺

[@stephanieflowers2783]

Eeeeeekkkkkk 😜😜😜 I’m so excited 😆 about going back to the shadow world!!!!!

I was a little bummed I had to miss the Premier Live, but i had a bunch of fun at the Pumpkin Patch 🎃 with my family. I am most excited for the 4th (and final?) Eternal Sarrows book!! I'm a little obsessed 💜🔥🧊🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟💜

[@NataliFourie]

congratulations on the upcoming release of TDOVS 😍 Regarding The Shadow World, a very wise author said 'good things are worth the wait..." Waiting in anticipation 🙌

I'm so proud of you and all you have accomplished

[@selenastevenson4256]

[@writer_surabhi_singh]

Omg!!! I LOVE the Shadow Demons Saga with all my heart and I'm so glad you're finally getting back to the last book! Can't be more excited than this ToT Ps. Are there going to be spin-offs? 👀 I mean, other than the Sacrifice Me trilogy, of course! I lovee spin-offs

[@SarraCannon]

I"ll talk specifically about it in this video tomorrow, but yes there are spinoffs coming!!

[@writer_surabhi_singh]

@@SarraCannon OMGGG!

[@niqiplansformagic]

And again, so much fun watching you ❤

[@heidilynn11]

I am stoked to dive back in to the SDS!! Since my house burnt down things have been rough, especially losing all of my books! So I downloaded the ebooks on Google Play and have been rereading them over and over. All of your characters have been my "best friends" for the last 7 months, helping me, mentally to get through some heavy times. I'm so excited for you Sarra, you can see the joy radiating from you!!

[@JessyInch]

I adore your index card wallpaper concept. I had to remove my Act Board/Plot board, because my cats constantly pull down anything that dangles. Before adopting these foster cats, I created a wallpaper corkboard with push pins and binder clips. I used to attach the scene cards to the binder clips and then place them on clear push pins on the corkboard. Therefore, using index cards that can be inserted into something that doesn't hang, or dangle should hopefully resolve the issue, lol.

[@SusanGHaws]

Good things take time. Follow your gut / heart. Now if I could follow that for myself.

[@stephaniemelnick223]

Can’t wait to follow your plotting. stealing some ideas! 💜

[@christinaayala5993]

I do an index card pocket wall for my projects and goal planning and I love it! Each pocket has a Velcro piece and is on poster board I have the other part of the sticky Velcro on the poster board. That way I can move the pockets around!! I did this as an alternative to a Kanban board because I couldn’t get myself to do lots of post it’s, my brain think notecards with check boxes is easier 😂😂😂 For story planning you could totally set it up by acts and move things around within the acts!!! Eeee I can’t wait to see what you come up with and how it works for you! I love visual qs.

[@Cecedoesthingsx]

I love the novel prep videos and seeing how you set yours up. Can’t wait for A Mirror of Shadows I think it’s going to be so much fun

[@joannacid6423]

So excited for you Sarra.

[@dianawelch399]

I'm only on book 5 of Shadow Demons (soooo late to the party!) And I can't wait to get caught up on the series! I feel you on the covering your walls with ideas...I've got a ton up in my office and my husband always asks me if I'm related to the guy from A Beautiful Mind....nope. just nuts.

[@EchoLarkAuthor]

The little Hello Kitty is the cutest! And I'm obsessed with the office. So glad you're feeling so excited about jumping back into your own writing and creativity! I've been trying to coax out my own creativity, so hopefully it will be a community motivation

[@ashleysanchez5106]

It's so cool to see your writing process 😊

[@alicewarner9331]

Loved this video! Can't wait for DOVS🎉

[@shannonreadsandwrites]

I love the index card pockets and the idea of using them on a wall! I've always used index cards to plot. I started by putting them on a poster board and then on a corkboard. Now, I'm going to get the pockets and build a wall.

[@lmkluend94]

❤❤ I love your books and your KZbin channels. I have read up through book 6 of the shadow demon saga, currently reading number 7! I cant wait to get to the end and read the 12th one once it’s done. You truly inspire me to be an author. I am currently writing the first book of a murder mystery trilogy.

[@AlexaHarteWriter]

Thank you so much Sarra! This year's Spooktacular has been so much fun! I love that it's going on for the whole month!!! I am so happy for you that you're back to your passion! As you said, you are EXACTLY where you're supposed to be! All the love and good Juju heading your way! 🥰🥰💖💖💖🥰🥰
