    My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.
    Story isn’t about “what happens” - it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel - and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!

    I am 81yrs now. Very tired of the pain, anxiety and negative I'm surrounded by. I will be returning Home soon and cant wait. My sweet dog, Izzy, is waiting for me, I'm very excited to see her. To all of you listening to this music from our angels, please care for yourself. Listen to what you need, I did not. I was a nurse for 54 yrs and wore my spirit and body down, not thinking of what I needed. So, listen to your soul, follow your guides. God bless.♥

    I NEED THIS, why are you the only TH-camr who thinks of these things for us writers?? Please make more of these in different styles, I have never focused as well as I do when one of your Immersive Writing Sessions are on. Thank you!!

      @Khontis 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think it helps because it does the three things we need most in one: A continuous music setting so we aren't swapping albums, playlists or whatnot, and a timer, so we can keep focused on writing but also has 'built in' breaks where we can get up and take a break but also be ready to come back to writing in a reasonable amount of time.

    I just found these over the summer. I've been slowly chipping away at a novel all year, writing maybe two hundred words a week- and then I found these. I've been putting in between 4000 and 8000 words a day using these videos. They're fantastic. The timer really helps me concentrate!

    I feel too burnt out at the moment
    That said, I recently watched Arcane League of Legends and it was one of the best TV series I have seen in a long time and found it inspiring. I want to create something as fantastic as it is.

    I don't know how this video doesn't have 1M views, I keep coming back to it. The soft music and the waves are the perfect accompaniment to whatever I am doing, especially now that we are moving into summer.
    Thank you for putting this together!

    OMG a new video I can listen to!! I'm trying this out today!!
    Okay, another writing session! My plan: Write the ending to chapter ten. I skipped several scenes that came before it in the manuscript but honestly they're conversation-based and I couldn't come up with any ideas. But this chapter ending scene I can do, so that's what I'm going to start with. I'll probably finish it and after that I'll reassess what I want to do.
    Okay, so, I did get the entire first sprint done. I got a couple hundred words, got a beautiful scene set up. But then my roommates started getting busy - one got off from their job and the other had a job interview so I had to move from my 'bedroom' area in the living room to her room because her room isn't Zoom-interview-ready which threw off my groove and she got the job which is so great for her! Her first Mon-Fri, 9-hour job since graduating university and her first full-time job EVER, and she's so excited! We got boba tea to celebrate and that led to time separated so they could de-sensitize and then things devolved into a couple of major discussions which was mostly them ragging on me.
    So, I only got the first sprint done. And tomorrow I have an hour of putting together my loft bed, then job interview but after that I can either spend another hour on my bed or do a video of writing - we'll see.
    So, progress! I showed up, I got work done, and that's a win in my book!

    Okay, let's try this again! Hopefully this goes better than last time. I've got four hours before I have to clock in for work so hopefully I can get through the entire video.
    My plan: Finish that scene I started last time. After that, I'd like to either do the scenes I skipped over last time or just skip them altogether. I really just want to get this new edition of the book back into the master document so I can move on.
