Besides the exercise benefits, I find that walking outside gets me out of the dense fog of normal, high pressure life. I can think clearly and solve a lot of problems just by getting out of the house and walking around. I can only imagine what hiking on mountain trails does for you!

Us writers really struggle with that chronic pain 😭 well done with the progress ❤

A massage is always better. Your work is going so quick now, and I'm proud of you.

Lmao you walking back and forth questioning the integrity of your hang job is my favorite thing Ive ever seen you do 😂 I've just started watching your videos and now Im invested. Im so excited for you to finish your book! Have enjoyed watching your progress!!!

Keep the grind going. You're inspiring and wow that sign!!!

Congrats, Sara 👏! We're really proud of you!!

LOVE your new sign!!

The sign looks great. Better than my post it note on the wall lol.

Considering the years you have worked on this book spending a month to polish it is not too much.

Good morning, Sara and happy Friday! I'm very proud of you for what you've accomplishment with Project DE, but I'm also sorry for the kink you had in your neck. And I can't wait to read when it is published. I also finished draft 2 of my manuscript and proofreading it myself, as I've started working on my other one which might be a series, just like the Goosebumps series. Anyway, have a lovely day, happy hiking and reading draft 7. ❤✌

Your author plaque is beautiful! Looking forward to the DE 'sneak peek sentences' video :)

For me it's pillows. If mine is too soft or too low, I wake up with a stiff neck. I use a stack of folded blankets for firmness and height adjustability.

You're an inspiration, Sara. I've never seen someone so dedicated to their book share their journey. It's really awesome to see. Big request: Any chance you can do a video that talks about what you changed between drafts (generally speaking). And any advice you'd give yourself to past!sara in each of those stages? I think that would be such a cool video to see all the growth and lessons learned through your hopefully debut novel. Look forward to reading this when you publish it.

That sign is so awesome!!! 😍 I feel you on the pain, my back was giving me the same problem Monday and Tuesday. I'm excited about your progress on DE! Can't wait to see it in the world someday :)

It is so great to watch your writing journey! Best of luck with it 😃

You're one step closer! Also lol getting distracted by Instagram, the realest thing ever 😂😭

Congrats! It's so exciting when it feels like the book is "done." :D

First here! Yay! You're so close, if it feels like a book, it must be a book, right?

Sorry to hear about your neck! If going to the doctor is not an option, you could try having some B complex vitamins. I've been prescribed that for pinched nerves in the past, so it could help. Energy drinks like monster and the like have that vitamin blend, so maybe you could give it a try that way. I've also used some over the counter desinflammatories like Ibuprofen. Hope you feel better soon! It's really cool to hear about your editing process. I'm really pumped up for this book so I hope it all goes well! 🙌

congress on the draft 7 progress!! i need to find a writing group in my area!!

Congrats on 20,000!

Yeah I am not a believer of chiropractors. Go with the massage next time. Your hiking always makes me want to go outside and hike, but I definitely don't have your views. I'm in the Chicago area. I'm also not really in the best shape, but I'm hoping to do a bit of hiking this summer maybe walk some trails we have nearby or perhaps I might be able to get adventurous and try one of the Parks like Rock Cut. Idk, we shall see. Congrats on your continued progress with your Draft 7.

hey i'm relatively early! the first example, those 3 words didn't seem wholly unnecessary, i liked them actually. aesthetically pleasing, and all that. but it's your call :) the 2nd example, i agree with you completely.

Hey girly, have you used a copy/line editor for any of your work thus far?!

That email count 😲

Hi! I loved your video! I would like to join an online writing group, if you guys are up to start one just comment 🥰

You might need collagen, that might be why your neck hurts.
