Who else loves the sound of organizing a desk? I just love it so much! Thanks for watching!

There is something oddly satisfying about watching people organise their desks / homes / lives. That segment with the pens and the clear Container Store drawers was almost like meditation. And today's quote was like a cymbal crash, Sarra, as I really didn't expect that "to suck" part :P

Dang. I was one of the 1st employees to work at the Erin Condren flagship store in ATX. If I had stayed there and gotten the chance to give YOU a tour.. I would have fainted 😆 you’re such a writing Inspo/Role Model for me! Have fun at the store! It’s amazing 🥰

Oh that's so cool! I would have loved to meet you!

Your rainbow pen organization would make The Home Edit proud!

I got 456 out of the 2089 words I "needed" today but am telling myself that that is a lot more than zero words. I have Sunday off and there is a four day weekend coming up which is plenty of time to catch up. Your new desk setup is so pretty.

I don't know what it is but watching you fill those organizer drawers was very satisfying and therapeutic.

My soul feels nourished after watching the desk organzation in the beginning 😊

So satisfying!

Good morning, Sarra. You look tired but I bet it's a good feeling to know you're still hangin' in there. It's not about what we THINK we can do but we ACTUALLY accomplish. Every word is a step forward. The trip to Austin sounds amazing. Don't get distracted by all the pretties, though I know you are more than ready for private self-care time. I usually take a couple of days during Nano but Bob's schedule didn't allow that this year. I'm okay with that. There's a couple weeks the first part of December. I'll keep writing til the rough is done. Pretty set-up. Putting lights on one of my office Christmas trees today. Will show on IG when it's finished. Creative Blessings!

I love it when my favourite creators reference each other. I also found Cindy's video fantastic.

Wow! Loved the beginning of this vlog. I have serious desk envy! Thank you so much for all of your hard work getting these out, you've been a huge source of peace and encouragement in this season. I'm hoping to indie publish next year, your videos and publish and thrive are a huge push towards that goal. Thank you!!

Your an inspiration to me Sarra. You inspire me to want to be a writer.

I am so excited about what you will share about your Erin Condren visit

Awesome! You can be proud with all the words you have written!!! Wohooooo! :D :D :D Cheering you on and am excited about your writing weekend :D Sending love and creative vibes

Man, you could do an ASMR video just organizing your pens. Very relaxing and satisfying.

I love the night writing section. For my first Nano, my son was 18 months old and I tucked the writing into all the nooks and crannies and deep into the night. Now that kid is 14 and I'm having to stay up later to be with him. I see more night writing in my future! Thanks for everything!

*dreamy sigh of gel pen obsession*

OH Boy! I am the first "Like" today! So exciting!! I am all about your level of your organization of pens! Just love that. Cindy's video was fantastic and I knew it would be right up your alley - using index cards. I have a full year Sterling Ink planner and I am having fun setting it up. Thank you for all your videos they have been so much fun to watch!

Love The topic you are going to talk about. It’s hard for me to keep that balance of writing and marketing

I have also ended up writing nights and I’m realising it may be the way forward for me to write a few nights a week too. Thanks for all your encouraging words and also being so honest about your life. ❤️

You setting up your supplies was just the ASMR I needed after a crappy evening. So glad I found your channel.

I am LIVING for that monitor stand!

That was so peaceful watching you organise your supplies and so satisfying seeing them sorted in that rainbow colour thank you :) I am sitting here laughing a little bit about your planner problem 😂 it’s just I am getting probably 4 planners with the intent of making a Franken-planner with them for next quarter and it’s all your fault! I am teasing but until I took HB90 this past quarter and started watching your channel I had zero planners. Now it’s like a new addiction haha. So thank you for that. No seriously not being sarcastic thank you. I have always loved stationary but I had like a fear of wrecking anything pretty and so I switched to digital at a young age. I am really liking physical planners now though because I can give myself gold stars. Seriously stickers all the stickers. I love them. Good luck with your hotel night! I am doing a “10k weekend” this weekend myself and it’s hard work but the focus is really helping the flow. I’m finding more of the humour I was wanting (at least I hope, guess I will find out come revision time). November is disappearing so fast it’s hard to believe.

“Organizing my writing desk”… starts by dumping all the pens out… lol. Same. 😂

Loved the asmr of the desk organization. And I'm so happy that you going with your gut feeling and being happy with the amazing results 💖 every little step counts and as you see that line keeps on going which is what is most important, even if you get a few 0 days it has already been an over 20k month and that is incredibly amazing 💜Hugs

I love finding youtube videos on ambience and playing them while writing, sometimes it can be a fireplace or rain and play a separate video of someone organizing and the asmr helps me focus on certain scenes

Hey Sarra! Bought a GA ticket to the WriterFest. Can't wait to see you speak! You are such an inspiration to me, and help me with my writing. You are awesome! ☺️💜

You are doing so great! Love seeing these vlogs, and can't wait to watch the presentation at the Indie Writer Fest.

Sarra, can I say I am so stoked for this book! I cannot wait to pre-order it. I am feeling a bit bogged down with Nano. I don't think I can get away with a hotel night but maybe going to a cafe or something for a change of scene will help. Can't wait for the EC tour!

Yay ASMR 🎉 love love love it ❤ thank you and congratulations on all the words! So happy for you ❤

Look at that line tho… it’s almost parallel so if you hadn’t had some of those unpredictable things, like poor Andrew being so poorly, you’d be right on target. Your writing is so consistent! 👏👏👏👏

With the calming music and you organizing your new containers, it made my soul so happy! Seriously! I feel so calm and before I watched your Nano Diaries today, I was feeling SUPER anxious. What is that music? What can I search for? Calming piano music? I'm 30 and it brought me back to Daycare nap time before JK. So peaceful and nice.

I get all of my music from Epidemic Sound, so I'm not sure you can listen without a monthly subscription, but if you just search for music here on KZread you could try just "relaxing piano music" "solo piano" or things like that and see what comes up!

I loved seeing all those pens lined up!!

As I was watching this video, I had a thought about you collaborating with Erin Condren on a planner. I have no thoughts on what that looks like, and I'm not a planner user, but I'm sending it into the universe. It seems like a natural progression for you. Thank you so much for these videos and your contribution to the writing community!!❤❤❤

Hey Sarra! I love your new desk set up!! The colourful displays are so joyful,… I have some acrylic drawers and you’ve inspired me to try something new with them! Well done with the writing & clever idea going to Austin for EC visit! So exciting 🎉 💜

I'm all signed up as a VIP (couldn't resist the goodie bag Melissa pit together) :D

I started the huge task of organizing my office area and quickly realized I have a TON of 💩 and not nearly enough storage space for all of it so I’ll be Black Friday shopping for some storage solutions 😂.

The NaNoWriMo event used to be a thing in which people would submit their own papers to Chris Baty and his friends, and they would manually count the words. Nowadays, the event has become more of a self-competition. And if you fail to win, then you always have next year. Also, consider this: the NaNoWriMo event is fairly recent in human history. Before, creative writers would spend as long as they want on a novel, while having another job to feed themselves and their families (or being fed by the breadwinner of the family). So, if you don't manage to win NaNoWriMo this year, then you can just take whatever you have and finish it in the following month. Choosing words carefully and thoughtfully is a lot better than cramming a bunch of words onto a manuscript just to win NaNoWriMo, you know.
