Thank you for inviting us, nonwriters! When you said crochet... My wheels started turning to every WIP (work in progress) in my craft closet. And how nice it would be to set aside time every day to get them finished. As my mind was going down the list. I hit the perfect project... My teddy bear quilt! When I first made it, the layers were tied together with little knots all over. Then things started bothering me about it, so I hand quilted the border. Then I started quilting the blocks (15) and I figured out what I wanted to put in the empty blocks. So all the planning is done. Five blocks are done/ten to go. If I start on October 27th that leaves 5 weeks. That's 2 blocks per week. That seems like a pretty heavy goal. And it's difficult to figure the average time for each block as some are more detailed than others. But I think I'll still join and see how many blocks I can get done. Even if I only can get one block a week completed... By the end of November it would be 2/3 done! And if my hands can keep up, it will be finished by Christmas! Checking this quilt off the WIP list will be a great Christmas present to myself! Thank you for giving everyone a place to belong! See you in the sprints! 💕🌞🌵😷

I was going to say this, too. Calling her an opportunist is the craziest thing I've ever heard! Like seriously?! She's taking time out of her crazy-busy days to make these workbooks and resources and GIVE THEM AWAY. "Opportunist" implies that she's expecting to profit from this. The only profit I see her making is maybe selling her books--but she's a SELF-PUBLISHED AUTHOR. Duh! Like what the actual...anyway, yeah, I was shocked too. And it pissed me off. Maybe they're just jealous of her success, who knows.

Here's a light bulb moment for me... I was listening whilst making lunch and you were going down the list of self care items. Comfy chair, support pillow, foot rest, meal plan, thermos for my water, caddy so I can move about, snacks, rewards, daily chocolates, cozy socks... After the long list, I thought: why don't we do all that for ourselves every day? Why am I sitting in that old chair that the cushion has gone flat and wheels hardly turn. Why are all the pretty pillows on the sofa, when I really need one in my desk chair! Why don't I have pretty highlighters instead of the standard yellow? Why don't we schedule more rest periods in our day and actually use them for resting? This is something I'm going to look closely at and revamp my Q4. Thanks! 💕🌞🌵😷

@Alexandherbunny 3 ай бұрын

I was already feeling anxious about lowering the wordcount, because NaNo did teach us that 50k is the only right number. But then you said ‘If you write 10k and kept your health and your JOY!’ That is the goal isn’t it? Not to burn out on 50k, but to discover and grow your love of writing! Which was the one thing I always felt less and less of as NaNo progressed, because I just could not hit the wordcount. Thank you for this challenge!

@augustinaiturra8037 3 ай бұрын

Maybe Citrine can be an acknowledgement for showing up and putting yourself out there. This is genuinely a hurdle for me. I get in my own way, mostly with self doubt, all of the time. I know it's a little "participation trophy" but I respond well to nudges.

This is such a FABULOUS improvement over Nano. I've always struggled with the 50,000 words (work 3/4 time, my average hourly word count is about 650, and Thanksgiving...) and end up beating myself up for not always making it. I love the flexibility and that you can make realistic, yet challenging progress. Thank you Sarra, for all that you do to support your community! And if this is the definition of what an opportunistic person does, I say, "yes, please, can I have more?"

I'm super excited for this challenge; I also really love you added the diamond tier. My initial goal was 10,000 words / writing a short story, which I was hoping to eventually turn into a graphic novel. With the diamond tier I will probably set goals to start drafting and sketching :)

This will be my first writing challenge, and I'm so excited!! I've started lining up a small team of "beta readers" to help me with my motivation. Owing them pages each week will help me move past the "don't wanna." I may not finish my draft during the challenge, but I can't wait to see how far I go! I'm aiming for Sapphire - conveniently, also my daughter's birthstone. Thanks so much for doing this! I really didn't want the pressure of 50K with NaNo, and after reading about some of the drama from last year, I was reluctant to try anyway. But then you announced your Draft Challenge and I was thrilled at the problems solved!!

@Jesse.Walkinshaw 3 ай бұрын

the sprint calculator has been the best tool for me these past few years. i used to get so upset aiming for 50,000 and didn't make it. (which I surprisingly did last year so yay!) but this way of doing things really does make you see your realistic goal. and you can plan for it, instead of like me before this of being so upset and thinking I was a failure for not making 50,000... and this community with Sarra leading the charge has made me also realize that theres nothing wrong with what you can do or can't do as well as taking pride in what you do and as long as your putting your best self forward thats what matters and what you should be proud of. And this completely changed how I see and do things in life in the best way possible :) I'm just so so grateful and inspired !!!💜🖤💜🖤

I'm a scientist, working in a lab, who had long gotten away from my creative hobbies (I've missed them so much) so thank you for this! Especially since creating a planner like this and making it free is something that you certainly didn't have to do, but making it accessible and open for everyone to be able to participate is truly wonderful. 💜

So excited about this! Love the gemstone levels and the planner looks great. I printed it out last night and can't wait to cut it down to size. I'm trying to decide between Sapphire and Diamond because I don't know if I'll be working on my serial only or also drafting book 4 in my series. But I do know that I'll be editing book 3 that month, so I don't want to overcommit. 25k sounds doable until I remember Thanksgiving. That whole week is usually hectic, so I'm debating doing a Diamond at 15k or 20k. Thank you for taking the time to put this all together for us. And thank George, too, please. Can't wait for the website! (Also, I love the idea of doing the Rough Draft Challenge in January. 31 days and what a way to kick off a new year! Just wanted to throw it out there!)

Thank you! I have a five page draft laying around since my 7th grade that I really want to finish as a book - even if it’s not published. (At the time it was a finished story since we only had five pages to write, but today I see it as a draft to work with.) My teacher told me it was such a horror story that I didn’t get grade 5 (Highest/Best grade in Sweden at that time) but only a 4. I felt hurt because she didn’t like horror stories and therefore lowered my grades. This story have since that time been popping on and off over the years and this is a perfect opportunity for me to put down the words to a complete book/story. Again THANK YOU so much for your generosity! I really appreciate this! ❤❤❤

Can I make a suggestion about the Citrine level? I have multiple W-i-Ps, and I always felt a bit pressured to start something new for November and NaNo, despite the 10 (plus) other manuscripts in various states of completion on my hard drive. Some years I stood strong and worked on an already started project, but other years I went for the shiny new idea, and tried to ignore the slight guilt for squirreling off. I try not to get down on myself about ignoring the older projects, but I always wanted an extra "attaboy" for picking up an old project or sticking with the older project instead of going for the shiny new one. Can we make the Citrine level the award for sticking with an older project? Especially in the face of Shiny-New-Syndrome?

Today was the 4th day in a row and I'm feeling it. Hopefully I can finish tomorrow, if not, for sure the next day. Then on to the next project.

I do hope though, that I can walk to (and back) where my project will take place once a week. I'm not sure how long it would actually take to get there, my guess is around 40 min. one way. I think that is a doable distance. I'm already researching recipes and working on a shopping list for eating healthier meals, so one part of my goal is already in progress. Take care.

I love this 😍💜 Thank you Sarra for all you do 😍 I was thinking that I have too much on my plate to continue with my book at the moment, but, with the own goal idea I will use it for my school portfolio. It’s a hard piece of work and time consuming so why not to turn it into a bit of fun 🤩 Thank you :) And good luck all participating 📝

I am sure I am in the minority but I do prefer the old font. I was having issues reading this font when I printed it out. I also use the digital and I felt it looked a bit scrambled - like my eyes would stack the words. I could be a one off but I wanted to at least mention I prefer the older font to this one. I really appreciate the time that you take in making these planners. I know they can’t be easy to make and they seem quite time-consuming, especially with the links. I appreciate everything that you do and I’m so grateful. I’m really looking forward to the rough draft challenge!!!

Thank you for the feedback! I take it you mean the smaller, main text font? I picked one that's listed on the easy to read lists, but maybe it's still not the right one.
