- Are you a fantasy writer? If so, today's immersive writing session is for you! This distraction-free, 2-hour writing session is designed to inspire creativity and deep focus - featuring fantasy adventure music and ambience that gradually gets darker (and spookier) the longer your write. Travel through mountains, mystical swamps, a dragon's cave, and finally arrive at a cozy medieval village by nightfall. We'll use the pomodoro method and do 4 writing sprints (25 minutes + 5 minute break in between.) A lot of you guys requested this one, so I'm very excited to share it with you! Ready to write? Grab your WIP and let's get started!
Comment below and tell me about your writing project!

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!
To the person reading this. I know you're tired with all of this, but you should know. You did a good job. You are great. You deserve to be happy
Same here!
Needed to hear that. Thank you!
I needed that. Thank you❤
Thank you!! 😢😢😢😢
This is a cheesy comment, but I thank you for it today.
So this is basically like travelling from Kings Landing, going through Winterfell, and arriving at Castle Black?
I’m in 💯 📝
Theoretically that ,or you're *o u t* 🧍🏻♀️🚪
A man knows it's the Game of Thrones you win or .. uehm not arrive 💀.
✨⚰️✨
I wouldn't ever call Castle Black a good place to be. It's worse than a death sentence for most.
nah i'd say kingslanding is the darkest place to be. All that shitty odor? Just ask lady ollena😭😭😭😭
More like Fable to me, but I like your perspective as well.
the spooky swamp music at around 38:45 goes actually so hard, i had to pause writing for a second just to listen to it
*Sad, sentimental music has a transformative power, enveloping listeners in a cocoon of introspection and self-reflection, where vulnerability is celebrated as a testament to the beauty of the human experience*
"...it gets darker and spookier..." this is true. the further I get along my world's (not the actual book itself) timeline, the more I regret adding to it.
Me too tho-
same here,oulu starts out good but its hell by ark'angelsk
I agree especially hurting your own characters 😭
thats called "plot development"
@@cymikgaming1266 ik but it hurts so bad when you hurt them. Sometimes I feel a deep connection with my OCs so I hate giving them traumatic backstories but they're necessary and sometime it hurt😭s
When the topic doesn't match anything I'm writing, I love to just listen while I rest. It's so relaxing!
Sci-Fi next???
I'm writing about a girl stuck on a spaceship and how incredibly lonely she is and most Sci-Fi music is all: pew-pew space battle!😓
I want to write how ethereal and vast space is, not an action scene.
Hmmm ditto but my locales vary so this floats my boat but I can see how you need something more specific. Does the music library on the ship still work lol. You'll find something. My fave music is everything, ever listen to viol da gamba solo's?
@@johni1622 can't say I do, but I just looked it up. Such a beautiful instrument!
Maybe this playlist could momentarily help you:
th-cam.com/play/PL5VMgchBlSqUDmxhQeEDsnKVPd_sStnA9.html
Just search up space music, you'll find ethereal.
@@xx_amongus_xx6987 thx so much!
How- How is it possible, that you know EXACTLY what kind of mood we all needed to write to? THANK YOU SO MUCH, ABBIE!!
I really appreciate all these immersive writing sessions you post!
Abbie nailed it with this it's just beautiful right.
it hit the nail on the head
It's true! How. . .🤔🤨
I'm a personal fan of the 12:00-13:30 marker on Sprint 1: Mountain Pass. Apart from sounding great on its own, the music which follows the previously mentioned portion shifts towards an up beat feel good wagon riding, country siding, peaceful adventure. Makes me imagine that the adventurers accomplished some great feat & hopes are high. I live for these playlists.
GUYS-PLS WATCH AND DO THE VIDEO!! it is so awesome! pls make more like this!!
i was originally going to use this for a homework project, but you inspired me to go beyond that and actually write a book that might get published!! Thank you so much!
For whoever is reading this; YOU CAN DO IT!! keep going on your writers adventure and you will succeed.
may i have a link or basic description good sir?
I also request a basic description good sir.
If I may, receiving a basic description of your work would sound lovely good sir.
The kingdom is trembling.
They could fall anytime.
The Alliance did what they could.
The traitor deceived.
Good people fell.
Close friends.
Sablestone might be in ruins.
*And Valora, a 15 year old girl, is the only one who can stop it all from finishing.*
The only one who can stop the evil from spreading.
Its their last hope.
Idk if this counts as a description or not lol i'm bad at summarizing but here it tiz… I don't want to spoil anything else if it does get published lol. Ty!! (medieval-fantasy, of course, but with a twist..)
Whoa this thing is amazing😳 I usually am super procrastinated when it comes to actually typing my thought down but this thing suddenly spawn a whole entire chapter out of me in 3 hours😳😳😳
I'm exactly the same. I want to write but I'm a procrastinator
@@ReiseLukaswe’re lucky to be born in a generation with things like this, music like this turns on my writer brain
Exactly!!!!!!!!! My brain started firing until it almost error coded lol
As you venture deeper into the remote small, poor kingdom on the edge of the world, the once lush green forests and peaceful meadows start to give way to twisted, gnarled trees and barren wastelands. The sky darkens, and the air grows heavy with an eerie silence that chills you to the bone.
As you journey on, you begin to hear strange whispers and whispers that seem to come from the shadows themselves. You can't shake the feeling that you're being watched, and every creak and rustle sends a shiver down your spine.
Soon, you encounter a village, its buildings dilapidated and abandoned. The air is thick with the stench of decay, and the streets are littered with debris and fallen leaves. As you move deeper into the village, you realize that something terrible has happened here.
You hear the sound of footsteps, but when you turn to look, there's nobody there. The hairs on the back of your neck stand on end, and you can feel a cold sweat breaking out across your body. You're not alone in this place, and whatever is here with you isn't friendly.
As you push forward, the darkness only grows more oppressive. You see twisted, demonic creatures lurking in the shadows, their eyes gleaming with malevolent intent. You try to run, but you realize that you're hopelessly lost in this haunted world.
The sounds of screaming and moaning fill the air, and you can feel the evil presence closing in on you. The world around you seems to be unraveling, and you can't tell what's real and what's not. You're trapped in a nightmare, and you don't know how to escape.
You desperately search for a way out, but the world only grows darker and more twisted as you go. You start to fear that you'll never make it out of this place alive, and that you'll be trapped in this nightmare forever.
bro wtf that was beautiful.😍😱i am quite scared for my OCs now.
too many adjectives
The setting, atmosphere and mood is absolutely great and encourages you to write more and use your imagination, which is honestly really helpful. Excellent work
Man I wish there were more things like this so badly. This was exactly what I needed
Peace/Quiet 59:00 Into the Warcamp/Memories 1:01:40 In the tent 1:19:10 Face to Face 1:22:43 For Ridge.
Hello! I can't find the 1:22:43 track, can you please link it to me?❤❤❤
@@b.3824Oh im sorry! Those arent the names of the tracks or anything. Im running a D&D game and those were just time stamps for my own reference
lol this is so true, I have a playlist of over 100 songs I use for a D&D campaign with timestamps like these @@thomnasilikeswordfighting5506
Sprint 1: 471 words typed.
Sprint 2: 242 words typed.
Sprint 3: 226 typed
Sprint 4: 219 typed.
Total: 1,104.
Thank you! This was so much fun! Even if I fell asleep during the last sprint. Whoops.
I'm not a writer but a reader and those videos fit perfectly ✨🐉
I teach creative writing for a university, and my students love deciding which of these aesthetic tracks we are going to play for the in class writing assignments and exams.
Can you do one on that is suspenseful for intense scenes? I just discovered these yesterday and love them so much!
Also, how do you find such good music to go with what I am writing?🤔
I'm using this for my dnd campaign, I've been procrastinating on it for so long.
I've been up for 20 hrs and I have to be back up in 2 hrs, but I've been having SUCH insomnia restlessness lately. Somehow I had a feeling that flutes would help to soothe me, but this video was even better than I expected. The music and reason are perfectly gentle and balanced so there's no startling dynamic changes, and the background scenery is beautiful and relaxing as well, so soft and still and comforting. As soon as I turned this on I felt the bodily tension and frantic thoughts melt away into perfect peace. My eyes are already closing. Thank you so much for this good medicine 🙏💜
I am not a writer, but I love to think I can write. I just write what comes up to me when I listen to this! Thank you for making this playlist
Im gonna use this for every time i need to work on my fantasy novel this november
How did it go? ✨
@@Codys_Corner Pretty good!
I don't know how but this actually made me write along with it. the plot was automatically in my mind and I just went with the flow. ended up with the best plotline I could have come up with.thank you for your amazing videos, and excellent work.
Can you please help me with the scene I wrote please?
@@sanwan7105 sure
@@parnamallick7953 Thank you so much for your reply. Are you on Instagram because I want to share a photo of the rough scene I wrote.
@@sanwan7105 darkdvl62 feel free to send it to me
I have no idea what it is about this specific video, but no other playlist has ever made me feel this way. It's awesome
wth this is so contraproductive because I've been staring at my screen doing nothing but staring at the clouds moving and I swear I can feel the breeze and the grass tickling my cheeks as I lay there in the meadow waiting and watching as my sheeps grass and my dog runs around. My fantasy self would never guess that my real self is sitting in an office cubicle, trying to focus on what task I have to do first
I love your immersive writting sessions! Thank you for posting them!
Honestly, this is such a creative way to format a line-up of songs. Very cool.
This was incredible Abbie! Thank you so much for this... it's just what I needed for my medieval fantasy 😊
I'm speechless. This is amazing.
THIS IS OMG SO PERFECT THE MUSIC CHOICES ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGGGG AND THE CREATIVITY BEHIND THE PLAYLIST IDEA
You are a GIFT... much love & appreciation 💛
I can feel myself getting drawn into the world I'm creating with this music. So good!
I clicked this with zero expectations and ended up going on an epic adventure. Thank you!! :D
I've felt stuck in my writing for over a year and this brought me back to life. Thank you for this, it was so helpful!
Yessss!!! Thank you!! This is exactly what I needed!!
I've almost finished Act 1 of my first book! And it's thanks to you, I wouldn't have got this far if it weren't for your videos thanks for being such an inspiration, keep up the good work!
Your writer-scapes are great - love the blend of music and ambience. So thoughtfully done, I feel the love that goes into them!
thank you so much for this, abbie! this is 100% my new go-to writing ambience video! it fits my current wip perfectly!
This is incredible!! Exactly what I needed for the coming scene in my novel!!!
I’ve finally managed to come up with more story for my book and this music helps me to remain focused. Thank you! 💜
Some of the music in the Spooky Swamp gives me MAJOR MediEvil vibes, I know I can't be the only one.
Please make more of these. They are great not only for my writing, but for work or even when I just want to relax and read.
The video concept is super cool but the execution is even better than I imagined. This is insanely well done! I think I found my new favorite productivity tool!
I was so down after my pc stopped working today. Had worked on a story for almost 2 weeks, multiple hours a day. I made a backup, but can’t access it without my computer working. I literally had a breakdown. But now I’m starting to watch your videos for new writers and it helps alot. You have so many good tips. I now am using this situation as a new start, where I can do even better then before and thanks to you, knowing so many things, I’ve never heard of.
So thanks alot for this. Love your channel.
(Also sorry for my english. I’m not a native English speaker and unlike my stories, do not prove read comments 😂)
Jsyk your English is great, couldn't even tell haha. Good luck on your next project!
Thats the spirit! ♥ keep going~ best of luck and happy writing~~
This particular writing sprint video almost single-handedly got me through my dissertation work. I can't thank you enough for making these!
keep coming back to these videos! they really help me to keep the flow of my writing as I lose focus very easily
great work abbie!
OMG, this perfectly fits the vibe of the thing I'm writing rn, thanks Abbie! ❤
Thank you! I’ve had a book series in the works for 5 or 6 years, on and off, and I finally found it in me this summer to progress regularly, this helped!
this is just absolutely amazing. i'm not currently writing a fantasy, but after listening to this I really want to. which is honestly not a good idea cuz I already have so many unfinished projects that need attention. is that gonna stop me? probably not, because is have no self-control.
Amen! 😂❤🙌
This is perfect for the atmosphere I'm going for!
I don't know anything that would make me more productive than this - THANK YOU!!!
This helps so much with art as well! Thank you!
Thanks so much for this! I'll be writing to this later for sure!
some of these tracks are from my favourite fantasy playlist on Spotify and I'm obsessed! Loving it.
This is one of the best writing background videos I've ever found. Thank you so much.
Stumbled across this looking for fantasy music to write a big fight scene and it was perfect! I didn't intend to write for 2 hours but I did! Thank you so much for this, the built in breaks were really useful and the music was amazing!!
Finally got out of a months-long writing slump with this. thank you 🖤
I have listened to this on repeat for two weeks now
This is my favorite of your immersive writing sessions yet, Abbie! Super, super well done!!
NO WAY YOU DID THIS. I LOVE IT! You don't have an idea of how much this is going to help me to keep writing, I'm so grateful 😭💖
I have to state...your approach to these videos, changing the scenes and sounds truly helps on another level. Haven't found any other like it. 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I am currently halfway through and in the break. I have already gotten so much done, so thank you for making this for writers. I work well while listening to music and this really got me in the zone. I could not be happier with the result of me finding this.
This is an AWESOME way to practice the pomodoro technic. I'm an illustrator and you are powering up my productivity like NO-ONE !
Thank you very much !
I wish everyone here the best of luck with their writings!
We will finish this together!
Thank you for this video. I've been using it for the last couple days to help me focus on a translation project. This was great and I'll definitely use it again!
This is just perfect for inspiration. Thanks a hundred times!
I’ve been procrastinating all day, but I put this on and got out a solid 2 hours of editing that felt easy! Thank you 🙏🏼
I am so in love with this playlist. I keep coming back to it while I'm not just writing, also while I'm focusing on project management tasks at the office. It is so epic and lovely and the music is just energizing and stimulating.
Definitely adding this to the writing playlist. Definitely helps with my severe adhd as well. Thank you so much.
I love this playlist ! I listen to it every time I write. 😄
This was so helpful! I 100% plan to use more of these!
You’re a good egg. Sometimes the smallest nudge or incentive is all it takes. Thank you!
This is what I needed today! (Also, longtime various watcher, new subscriber as of today.) I am writing a fantasy story where the events do become "darker (and spookier)" the longer I write. 🙂 Unfortunately, I have to go to work soon, but I shall listen to this in full when I return. 👍
❤n
I have been writing two stories while listening to these immersive writing sesions and honestly I never felt more productive in summer. Thank you for this.
This one is my favorite. I love that the sprint counter is not front and center, thank you.
This morning I had this random thought wondering when you might upload another awesome writing session. I love the train one but this is perfect for the fantasy I'm working on. Thanks Abbie!
Your channel has to be one of the best regarding ambience! I can see a lot of effort put in your videos :) Fantastic stuff!
Hi! I literally just found your channel and I love all the content! This playlist in particular has been amazing as well as the writing tips! I did have a recommendation for a writing immersion, perhaps a vigilante/dark hero during the night? I'm working on a story that has that vibe and honestly I can't find just the *right* stuff to listen to on TH-cam. I love your stuff, your tips and videos have been so helpful, thanks again! ❤
the way you signal the breaks is pretty genius imo. Its gentle enough not to be jarring or annoying but obvious enough that I looked up and noticed oh its break time. Genuinely impressed how you did that.
I love these, this one especially. It fits all epic fantasy.
these are fantastic. always fantastic no matter how many times i listen to them
this is actually amazing so perfect! great for pomodoro method and genuinely good score during the sprints that keep you engaged and motivated but not overtaken. Thank you!
I love these!!!! They are so brilliant-- great to write something with a slow-building emotional progression of some sort. i hope you had a good NaNo!
This is the best thing I have every experienced. Love and PLEASE make more
Thanks for putting this mix together! I listen to your music all day! Really appreciate you doing this bro!
First, thank you so much for compiling this. It is incredibly calming and has made my work progress on my first planned fantasy novel to go very well. I am getting about 650 words down per sprint. I will gladly take 2,600 words written in two hours.
Secondly, I wish the best of luck to any and all writers who are trying to just do the dang thing, keep going. You got this!
I cannot ardently express my love for this playlist sanely… I have sUCH a hard time finding quality fantasy playlist, and as a devoted fantasy writer, this made my month!!! Abbie, you’re a lifesaver… KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!!!
Thank you so much, Abbie, this is fantastic
This Playlist is helping me so much with the book I've struggled with for almost a year. Finally it's getting somewhere, thank you.
There's a tabletop music site I've been going to, but I haven't had the time/energy to create a full adventure playlist thing like you have here, so thank you! The other things of "peaceful music for 2 hours" are nice, but this provides relevant variety!
Im curious, can we get a list of tracks and their authors? I feel like this question gets highly undermined. They’re absolutely stunning!
Would love to know the track say 1:24:05
I wanna know the one at 1:03:11 and 1:04:20, 'cause those slap
@@jojofox4566 Me too
@@b.3824 did u find the name? i would love to use this track for my dnd campaing
@@dorianamarino8399 I unfortunately didn't. I tried everywhere, I can't find it :(
These are really amazing. I hope you make more immersive writing sessions!
i used a dark spooky one yesterday and got through one and a half chapters of my novel! im obsessed with these now. keep going!!
Thank you for this -- truthfully I haven't had the emotional heart to write in a long time, but this is something relaxing that is helping me after a lot of stress. Your work is greatly appreciated.
I saw this playlist and immediately started writing. It is so useful! It really gets you in a writing mood and it gets your creativity flowing. 👍 For someone with a mind that is always thinking of mythlical creatures and stories, this playlist is pure gold.
oh my god I love this so much. Thank you for these awesome tracks!
the music is so beautiful, thankyou!
I'm using this immersive session every day! 2 hours FLY and I'm almost finishing the outline for my book. Perfect! :D
I love the periodic breaks. Something that I don't commonly see in videos like this. I'm currently writing a campaign adventure for DnD and this has been perfect background ambience. Thank you for making this!
I have this playing through my headphones and blocking out loud coffee shop noise right now, which was desperately needed for the sake of my productivity. I love it, thank you!
