Sarra, I think you have one of the best souls on social media. You always give so much of yourself , constantly sharing your ups and downs. Thank you for everything you do and for helping me become a better version of myself. You're Publish and Thrive and HB90 classes have changed everything for me. ❤💻🖊📖📚
I haven't published a book (yet), but I'll tell you the one thing that made me realize that this is what I want and what I'm supposed to do in my life. It's also a huge reason why I love being a writer. I studied creative writing in University, and part of that was sharing my work for critique by my classmates and professors. I hate being the centre of attention, but handing my work around a room and watching people's faces as they read what I had written was the coolest thing that has ever happened to me. Watching them light up and get excited or furiously take notes in the margins so they could give me their opinions and reactions... it's the best serotonin boost. Seeing people react to your art and have it really resonate with them is an incredible feeling, and it's what keeps me going when my inner critic is being particularly loud.
It sounds like such a dream, a dream I know can come true for me too. The freedom, the time to write as much as I want wherever I want…awww, I can’t wait! 😀
I love being a writer because not only do I get to put the stories that live rentfree in my head down on paper but out in the world. And other people read and love them and that makes me so so very happy!
Oh my goodness Sarra, you got me tearing up too. You are an amazing writer, and a loving and kind person. Thank you for all that you are to this community.
Thank you so much for being an example of a humble author. I want to be like you when I grow up! (I'm 43) I love to write because I get to make stuff up and share it with others! Fantasy worlds are so much fun...
I think what I love most about being a writer is writing the stories I want to read. Sometimes I really want to read a specific type 9f story and the next thing I know there are characters and back stories. I love it
You really touched me with today's video. Thank you! I started writing years ago and first published at the end of 2018. I've lots to learn still and you are one of my teachers (thanks!)...even if you don't know me!
This might be my favorite video so far. I love all your reasons, but especially the one about planners and stationery lol. Since I am a retired teacher I can know justify all the planners to my husband - “honey, Sarra said that I need all these cool planners and post-it’s to write”. He knows I watch your videos everyday
Yes, def being a writer is the best job in the world! My top 10 reasons why I love being a writer: I can work from home I can make my own schedule I can be my own boss I love creating new worlds/characters I love understanding/analyzing my characters I love being surprised by my own characters development (sometimes they just grow by themselves o.o) I love being in a new world and be a part of a story I love seeing people smile and being excited by what I wrote I love the joy that books spread though either uplifting someone, teaching something, making someone company, etc I love how one can travel anywhere and know so many people (well characters 🥺 I feel so many times they are like my friends) just by reading a book
You're amazing, Sarra! I keep saying it, but you're such an inspiration to so many people! I had been struggling with writer's block for the past few months and things have been so hectic at work, I had completely given up on my writing. But listening to your videos today (it was a Sarra's videos marathon day 😄) , it made me so emotional and rekindled my desire to write so much that I decided to do NanoWrimo again this year. I hope it will help me get past the rut I've been in lately. All that to say that it wouldn't have been possible without you, Sarra! Keep sharing your wisdom and your amazing energy with the world! 💜
It has always been in the back of my mind to become a writer. I just really struggle to focus on actually writing a piece. Inspiration has never been a struggle for me, it's just actually moving forward and writing. So thank you Sarra for this inspirational video, I always love coming to your channel as it always makes my day ☺️
Oh Sarra, you got me too, I was tearing up. When ever I get an email from you I get excited, you have helped get me through so much. The reasons why I love being a writer is that I get to share the worlds of my imagination, live through my characters, and I get to hang out with the amazing writing community that you have created, everything that you do shines through. Every word that you write, every video that you create and every inspiration that you give makes the light shine at the end of the tunnel. Keep shining because you are amazing!!!
That writer's bundle sounds so great. I am behind on watching these spooktacular vids and reading the blog so I am out of the running but I just wanted to say that it was an awesome giveaway to offer!!!
I am loving book 5! It helps me to escape from all the medical issues that I go through. I write to get things off my mind when I am anxious or angry. Reading is an escape from all the chronic medical issues. Thank you for your books they have helped me cope and get through a lot of my medical issues and my anxiety disorders.
So many great reasons. I have to admit that stationary would also make it on my list 😍😂. It's one of the reason for wanting to create art for me I get to use fun supplies
You are such an inspiration. I was sharing your links with my sister earlier this week and telling her I aspire to be you when I grow up 🥰. Know you and your works are appriciated!
I love your channel, I just discovered it recently but I binged your videos and I’m learning so much. You are very special, and giving person that cares so much about everyone. You give your time and your knowledge, and all you do will come for you with many blessings! I just wanted to say that you an inspiration! ❤
Hi Sarra!! I came across your channel this year and I will say I will forever be a fan of yours! I just recently started your Shadow Demons series and I’m on the fourth book…. I cannot put them down! Can’t wait to see what comes next after I get through all of your books 😊 also loved watching you play games over on twitch… definitely be there tonight! Eee! Hope I can will the writers bundle! I’m participating in NaNo for the first time this year and you’ve helped along the way! Thank you for sharing all that you do ❤
Thank you for all you do! You are so inspiring to push through and get it done! I've written 2 books but never edited them. I'm going to finish my next NaNo book and will then plan to start editing one of my books and actually push through and maybe even publish it!
I love being a writer for many reasons, but the biggest is to be able to create worlds and characters, and live within those worlds with my characters.
Wonderful heartfelt video. Thank you for the reminder to place my signed book orders as I almost missed ordering! I know this sounds weird but I am currently writing a book but never wanted to be a writer (writing non-fiction). I love reading because I love journeying into another world that someone else has created.
Thx to you ! I understand your top list, the one is a really strange feeling, like be approved by strangers. That's wonderful. You remind me of that so thx very very much (I need to hang back my "good comments " board XD) Kisses from France !
Trapper Keepers!!! I love this video Sarra! And I agree with stevensuzuki...spending time with Sarra Cannon videos is a must professional development requirement:)
Thank you, Sarra. That was an extra special video. I love reading and writing for deeper understanding & to experience things outside of my own life. Appreciate you, your family, & your community. 💜
