  1. I have actually written a story like this before. When I was in high school I was in the creative writing club and we wrote several stories together. Each of us started our own story and after a certain amount of time we passed it onto the next person and they continued it until we got to the last person and it made its way back to the original person. It definitely did not turn out how I expected it to. Someone wrote the Kool-Aid man into everyone’s story.

  2. I’m so happy that I found your channel and books. As a writer myself you have truly inspired me to work harder and you have taught me so much. I love your beautiful books. You are truly a gifted story teller!

  4. I couldn’t find where to enter to win your books. 🙁

    Sarra, thank you for being you. It a weird feeling to me to feel so supported by someone I’ve never met. Heck, it’s weird to be supported in my writing at all, but the community you’ve built makes me feel that every day.

    Thank you.

  6. The artwork on this is absolutely stunning! The books are fantastic, congrats on continued success with the series.

  8. I absolutely adore the artwork for the demons series so beautifully and the books are amazing aswel

  10. In English class we did have to do it as a group. I remember being mad about it because it sounded nutty. The boys in the group weren’t taking it seriously. Wow, that was a long time ago.

  11. This is going to be EPIC!!! I will be watching the live and cheering you on Sarra! This is so exciting!

  12. I am loving these fun giveaways! And I’m a proud self-published author who has already learned so much from watching your Heart Breathings youtube channel.

  14. Yes i have written a story like this in class. It turned out different then i expected but not bad.

  15. Congratulations on 10 great years!

    Thanks for giving me ideas for different ways to get readers involved and interested too!

  17. I’ve never written a story this way, but I used to write short poems from a collection of words provided to me and sometimes they came out really great and others just really weird, lol.

  19. I ABSOLUTELY love the Shadow Demons Saga. Me and my mum are so into the series of books and everytime cannot wait to read the next one !!!! Can’t wait for more ❤️

  21. I never wrote a story like this, but it seems to be a fun experiment to make at least once…

  23. Great live, loved seeing you write the story, so talented, can’t wait to find out what happens next on Friday.

  25. As a reporter with a small-town newspaper, I found out fast that I needed to grow a thick skin. My response now to the haters is to thank them graciously for their comments, no matter how much the comments reek of BS. The commenter often deflates like a balloon popped with a needle. One even emailed and told me I was much more gracious in my response than he had been with his criticism. Win!!! My career in novel writing is just now beginning but I’ll continue to treat people this way. “A soft answer turns away wrath” … and it also keeps my mental health stronger!

  26. Hi Sarra! I came across your channel this month after watching another YouTuber talking about your goal setting system. I definitely did not expect after so many years to actually start writing again. After watching your series on how to plow novel, writing a book didn’t seem as scary or out of reach as before. This year will be my first nanowrimo and first attempt at novel writing, and I have never felt so excited and prepared for the task. I have you to thank for that! Thanks for everything.

  27. Today’s live was so much fun and very inspiring. You are always such a positive supporter of all of your fans. I hope that you are enjoying this time as much as we are.
    There are not enough ways to say thank you for all that you do for us.

  28. I do this with my students in class. I will provide a visual prompt and then we throw out writing prompts and they divide into groups and create stories by taking turns adding to it. Sometimes they are hilarious, and other times I think, “I could see that in an anthology.”

  30. Looooong time ago we did a story like that in class. I actually remember it being funny with monsters, although I can’t remember the exact context. We also did something like that in theater class. Instead of writing, we had to act out the next part of the scene on the fly.

  32. No, I haven’t written a story like that before. I think it is really interesting idea. I think I might try it myself. Congratulation on your success I want to be able to successfully self-publish myself

  34. I don’t ever think I could write a story. you have such an Imagination for writing books/stories.

    1. I haven’t written any kind of story but I love getting lost in your story world.

  35. I haven’t written a story like that before but I like the idea. You have a fantastic imaginative mind. Your writing is just beautiful. So glad I found you and your books.

  36. I love your channel so much Sarra and also I love the advice you give, because I have been having it really rough with my career and you have helped me so much I would seriously do anything to pay you back!!
