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!
Abbie, I would like to sincerly thank you for your writing sprint videos. I have (just as of five minutes ago) wrapped up an almost 300K story that I was lagging on until I found your writing sprints. This is my largest project and your videos have helped me stay focused on pushing through each paragraph, no matter how irritating. Thank you again.
Wow! I'm nowhere near as far into my own story (30K), but these videos have helped me too!
these videos are amazing, im nearly at 40K, and it would have taken me weeks, maybe a month, to get where i am now in my story if it wasnt for these videos. Thanks Abbie!
I don't know how many hours I will take to finish my book, but I have gone through your playlist multiple times. 😅
Wondering if you could produce more of these videos that entail walks in nature including forest, cliff sides, fields of flowers, more seaside cottages, victorian houses, business offices and city life, bus rides, train rides, boating. Thank you, these are extremely helpful.
I’m so looking forward to that historic novel you’re writing ! 😂✨💞
For my final year of college, I am considering doing a short novel set in feudal Japan (1496 Japan specifically) about the coming of age story of a young female Samurai. Does that sound like a good idea?
@@unicorntomboy9736 It sounds interesting tbh ^^
@@unicorntomboy9736 sure! Write whatever flows through your fingertips
@@unicorntomboy9736 so, how is it after 6 months?
@@theoddplebs I changed my plans and went with something else. A Tolkien-esque high fantasy story set during a dragon apocalypse
What a wonderful idea. I could've used this to write my gothic romance horror novel USHER HOUSE RISING, which will be out February 13, 2023. I'll definitely use it to write the two Madeline Usher sequels!
Good luck on your writing, dear!
Just got your book on Kindle will definitely check it out
Commenting again to give a super thanks because I love this ambience. 💙💜
I love when you make music playlists. It helps my writing sessions.
I just wrote the most terrifying scene I have ever written because of this playlist. I have yet to decide if I am freaked out by the words coming from my brain or the music flowing into my ears but either way I am excited to use this for my next writing session.
My friend Margie Wood had the same experience when she wrote The Second Story Window - "where did these words come from?" but it turned out great. Keep up good work.
I do business writing for my job and even though that doesn't fit the themes Abbie comes up with, I love using her writing sessions so much! If I ever get time to return to my fiction writing, I'm sure I'll be writing with Abbie. (I know I should be making time but I do so much writing for work it has dampened my creative writing drive a lot.) Thank you, Abbie!
me too. Writing for school really dampens my creativity as well.
Only came across your immersive writing videos yesterday and am on my third one already! I can't tell you how much I love these and how much it focuses my mind and creativity. Had my most productive writing day for weeks yesterday and these helped enormously 😊 Thank you x
I think this is the music I'm looking for. Something haunting but not too dark or gothic.
Thank you Abbie!!!!!!
I'll put it on loop. Yay!!!
Writing a short ghost story.
Oh I love short ghost stories! Would love to read it once it's done ☺
This was surprisingly helpful. I've been struggling with my ADHD and this helped me focus. I can't seem to set these up on my own for some reason (ADHD), so thanks for this.
I’m a fantasy writer and this helps me a lot while writing! This is amazing, Abbie! Thank you so much for your videos! I’m trying to write my first book and your tips and videos help a lot!
Thanks Abbie for this video. This was really helpful. Although there were times when I misspelled a few words, for some I quickly corrected, and for others, I ignored it, because not editing when I'm doing writer's sprints is very hard. Also, I rewind one of the breaks to match up when I have my break. Yeah, so this was my first time experiencing writer's sprints and my first time checking out one of your live videos. Overall, it's been really helpful, and I love you Abbie from the bottom of my heart, and your video just made my day. 😃
Can you do a dystopian immersive writing session? I'm writing somewhat of a dystopian novel and it would be so cool to listen to! I've mixed old money, nature and dystopia together, and I really hope it turns out...
same
Thank you for making these writing videos Abbie! The forest that gets darker is my favorite! I hope you make another one of those! I am writing a few dark faery tale come to life in modern day screenplays so the darkening forest helps. I also have a shark horror screenplay and vampire horror screenplay I will be writing soon.... so dark mansions and boats on the water also are welcome. Thank you Abbie! 🙏🏻😱😈👽👾🧙♀️🦈
Already love your streaming writing sprints. These videos are also great. I get so much done! Thanks for these videos 💖
Same. Looove it
LOVED this!! please do more of these--they really help and the music is chest chef's kiss!
Abbie, I love these. It helps me write.
I managed to avoid procrastination and actually continue writing my novel. This immersive writing session is truly something I needed but was never sure what it was
I’m writing a horror novel this NaNo and this playlist is THE VIBE! Thank you! ❤
Good luck! I hope NaNo went well for you
this is so very helpful. writing with this honestly feels like i'm watching the scenes, not just writing them. the words come so easy. tyy
Writing a dark fantasy adventure story about two main characters with mysterious origins. The whole premise is that neither one of them knows what the other is truly after until the very end. The 'fantasy' in this story is set in biological hard systems, and in some ways has a sci-fi tint to it. Going to hit 300 pages soon- wish me luck!
Good luck! I hope it's going well!
@@BunBun897 Finished it! I did not end up reaching 300 pages, but who knows, maybe i'll have to edit it lol
@@seraphim3552 Woahhh! That's great to hear!
@@BunBun897 haha thank you! Really nice to see ur interest in my little wip :)
that sounds awesome!
LOVE these immersive writing sessions, getting so much done! Thanks, Abbie
Absolutely gorgeous!
Yesss!! I keep on coming back to your writing sessions since I discovered your channel lately, I absolutely love your channel and the videos that you make
Love these! So useful. I feel so much better!
This one in particular. It is a stationary one, like the Cozy Seaside Cottage, so I feel better about stopping in the middle, so I can used it one hour increments. But not today.! A full hours of progress!
This is perfect. I love the spooky mood of this Victorian mansion. Definitely helps with blocking out distractions. It's my new favorite ambience over the last few days. 💙 I'm glad that I found your channel. 🎉
A wonderful background for my writing. Even if it’s slow going, this has made working on my book so much more enjoyable. Excited to hopefully participate in NaNo next year
Could you please do a Steampunk video?
And Cyberpunk! That’ll be cool!
This has been the only way I can get through my sprints! Thank you so much!
Perfect for this years Nano! Was low on my word count today due to motivation but we're halfway there now! What wonders spooky music does for vampire novels.
I finished my new short story this morning while listening to this wonderful soundtrack. Thank you for making this!😊🙏👻
I've been using these for school as well as writing and I love them so much! Thank you!
aaaaah abbie u are the best! this will be useful for my book :))))))
When this came up in my feed I immediately went :o even though I don't have a book to write this to! Maybe I can use it for that haunted railway story idea I have...
Thanks Abbie for all you do! We appreciate and look up to you :D
~Lia Nicole (Devoted Follower of Your Writing Advice!)
I love these!
So cool, love this! Immersive motivation, thank you! :)
ABBIE THIS IS PERFECT AGHH!!
This is definitely my favorite of your immersive writing videos, and perfect for my dark fantasy story.
Someone in the NaNoWriMo forums was posting these for other writers who need an immersive experience like that and I'm so delighted to see just HOW MANY of these videos you've made. Can't wait to utilize them this month!
Ok but the ghost lady at 1:30:26 actually scared the heck out of me. I was not expecting to look up and see that
omg I actually got writing done. Blessing is disguise
you’re amazing thank you for blessing me with this amazing method!!!!!
This is awesome! Thanks for uploading; I've added it to my haunted mansion ambience playlist. :)
This chapter I'm revising is a dark one. This is perfect. I wish I would have thought about this sooner. The mood really helps.
Love these immersive writing videos! Thanks!
Thank you so much for these immersive sessions! I really appreciate all of them!
Abbie You Rock!!!!!!! Thanks for this🤗
This is lovely. So inspiring. Thanks for making it.
Like always thank you for this awesome sprint video 🙏
I love these videos! I found them to be extremely helpful and I am working on my four book fantasy adventure saga that I started back in high school but now have finally come around to editing
I absolutely *adore* your playlists it helps me so much with tone and keeping me going.
Started writing to this and then just sorta kinda skipped the breaks cause I was so in the flow of things! These videos are awesome!!!
This is so awesome Abbie, thank you!
I love these playlists but the ad interruptions every 5 minutes kind of kills the writing flow. Would you be able to adjust them so they are timed on the break times between sprints? That would be awesome 😊
this is so perfect for the scene im writing right now! thank you these are so helpful!
this was working really well for me until it decided to switch to ads.... lol I love these songs you picked out
I'm loving it💖💖
Freaking wonderful!! Thanks for this.
Gotta love the random ads aka commercials that scream over the music right when Im at the peak of writing 😂😂Guess this will prepare me for writing with kids.
Cool!!
Música hermosa es lo más relajante y sentimental que he escuchado, me ayuda a dormir conectada con la paz.😊
Also incredibly helpful for artists
This is dope.
woooow! just wow! it helps me so much! I've finally finished my novel
that's incredible! what's it about?
I love this playlist! I'm sorry I am late, but this is awesome! And I can't afford patreon or get discord, so if you wouldn't mind answering my one question, that'd be helpful! "When it is just my MC alone in a scene and she's not really doing anything but sitting around, how do I capture my readers attention so they don't get distracted while reading my book?"
what is the point of her sitting around? Is this scene necessary or can you summarize it and move on?
I hope this is okay but I found you a few weeks ago and I do consider myself a writer but I have been finding myself using your videos for coloring. My therapist tells me that I should try and take an hour out of my day to do self-care and she I introduced color therapy to me.
When I first started, I could not just sit down and focus on the coloring page or picture or canvas or whatever I was working on. I started using your videos because the themes and the music do a great job of helping visualize something which I can translate to a picture. Thank you 😊
This is so damn cool!!!!
Thanks you for sharing this amazing idea. Do you plan to create videos with lesser time frames for instance something with a 3 x 25 with 2 five minute breaks? This concept is pure genius and I loved it because once the ambience created envelopes the listener it does act like a magic carpet ride to a realm filled with exoric writing-prompts which seemed to leap out of nowhere🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks
Love love love this! Oo what if you did one for an underwater cave? Or an old medieval ruin?
Nice.
Could you by any chance make a spooky immersive writing session where it gets even spookier as it goes? I’m writing a dark and spooky graphic novel (script) and that would be really fun and helpful 😁
Keep up the good work!
There are already a few of these! She has them on a playlist.
Love these! I’m writing a steampunk mystery novel and this still works well with the mood, but I was wondering if you could do a steampunk one at some point 🙏😊
Maybe you could send Abbie some ideas on music?
It would be really helpful if you limited your ad spots to 'breaks'. I four ads in the first 20min of this video and that really defeats the purpose since it interrupts my train of thought and is really irritating.
But I love this video for the ghost story I'm writing, so thanks for making it!
These videos are great but TH-cam put 3 ads in the first 15 minutes of the first sprint, love breaks in concentration lol
Thank you for this. I found the forest one when it showed up on my suggestions and then I went to see what other ones existed. This one fit the most with what I was writing. I've never seen videos like this and I found it very helpful for writing sprints (though I do find focusing for 25 minutes is a bit too long for me) and the atmosphere/music.
How many ghosts are there? Not counting the one in the intro, I counted the ones in the break sessions: 2, 4, 2. Is that all of them? Or are there ones I missed? Ones during the writing sessions when I was busy writing?
i fucking LOVE this!!! just using it for studying and its so good tysm!
When I tell you I GASPED after clicking this. LOVE THESE ABBIE!
If you are reading this... stay blessed and happy...for God love us all🥰🥳❤️❤️
Me, a pagan: You mean the Gods?
Thanks. 🍺
@@uNdAdrAIt Pagan or not, gods should be lower case. Cheers 🍻
Amen!
Amen ❤
Amen!!
These are fantastic. I would sub to a patreon or something for more.
are you serious omg these are so cool
I seriously wanted to like this one, but that high pitched piano key was a total deal breaker. i love the haunted theme and crackling fire, but that piano key killed it for me 😢
This session is great, but the ad breaks totally break my immersion lol 😢
Oooo
Am I the only one who write in her head, chapters and chapters and scenes and very intense and emotional scenes, but when it comes to write on paper or the laptop it all disappear ?
No, same but videos like that can help my friend ^^
@@mariemfr3428 It does my friend. But now I'm struggling to choose and stick with one story, They are so many and I feel like a bee in a field of flowers urghhhh
@@histoirettes Omg sorry 😭 i relate soooo much and i Hope that you gonna find the story that you want to write and stick to it 🦋
Augh, yeah I relate with that! I just try not to worry about how intense and emotional it comes across as, because often in editing I'll go back and suddenly "lock" into the scene and strengthen it so much more! (Idk about you, but usually the problem for me is not that I haven't fully sunk into the POV character's head in writing, if that makes any sense lol.)
@@worthfightingfor2299 We really understand our problems when it come to writing x) maybe we should make a "motivational group" or something 🦋
Sorry if my comment had mistake, i'm a french girl and not perfect in english oups 😂💜
♥
wish i could get the names to these beautiful soundtracks
We actually created a discord server just for doing these sessions. It has 30Members and we are doing sessions every so often.
Can I join?
is there a way to see the music played in these?

This is my haunted house
Class #178
[DO NOT ENTER]
This place is home to an unidentified, endangered species and was founded by Pirate Homo habilis like creatures and their pet octopus. The home was in the middle of Polish Territory and to popular belief was haunted by this psychotic undead being, he had 1 big eye and honestly was more beautiful than anyone ever.
The pirates went in, one by one and this weird effect took its toll for the first time in a thousand years..
The Leader was hung to the wall with his bones snapping and his neck breaking and his eyes bulging and blood was gushing out of every corner of his body, his heart thumping until the end of time, with no chance of death.
The second, third and fourth one were more fortunate and they just died instantly after their hearts were ripped out by non other than tentacles deathicus.
The octopus was possessed by this one eyed beautiful creature and it grew bigger until the year 1869 when another group of explorers found the home and tentacles deathicus put them in through the top door where they were put in this void like room, floating around forever, anything they wished for, they got the opposite of..
They took the opportunity to invent reverse psychology and take that to their advantage, they wished for a dump, not food, and dirt water and got a Mansion, food, and water.
When Tentacles found out, he hung them to a wall and snapped their neck, broke their limbs, and of course, made their eyes bulge and kept them there til the end of time.
The family of the Explorers looked for them and thought they heard screaming from the house so the daughter and the son both went in after them while mom wasn’t looking, they were put in a nightmare realm where their worst nightmares came to life..
The boy ended up dead and the girl ended up trapped in the realm forever to rot.
The parents went in and found the son dead and the girl in a coma. They were so distraught to the point they got nailed to the ceiling by their feet to suffer greatly for interrupting the silence, their skin was torn off, their eyes exploded, their blood froze and their bones got stiff..
They went to town and someone screamed “MONSTER!” so now people went chasing after them, back into the house and each and everyone in the town got trapped in the house, to wander the empty voids for the rest of their ever-lasting lifetime, cold, stiff, depressed and if ya didn’t know better, they’d practically be zombies.
Effects on History.
In the year 1939, a nazi attack on this town quickly turned to more visitors for tenticles, who turned them against everyone, including the nazis, and sent them to every county on earth by broken pirate ship pieces carried by tenticles. One of them killed Hitler and blamed his death by suicide. These zombie-like creatures made the USSR fall apart because of the effect, the house began to float around by messing with the gravity and afterwards almost made a 5th plane on 9/11 crash into downtown Omaha.
If you had a gun pointed to your head and the only way to survive was to go into this building, would you go in there? Or have a quick painless death?

The end.
The amount of ads is so frustrating as it takes my focus away. I love these videos but the ads…. Not sure if im enjoying them as much. I have adhd and really struggle with focus. I zone in and doing great then BAM an ad. It’s frustrating.
Just download it .
What the heck is a Immersive writing session? And how do I do one? Help! Also, what are play lists for? How do I apply them to writting?
An immersive writing session is basically just something to help you focus. She does different themes for them and depending on what genre you're writing it helps you get in the mood for your story. I put them on and open another tab and start writing and then it's playing in the background as I write
@@chaosreads Kay, thanks for the help!
LOVED this video until the ads interrupted the sprints. Definitely takes me out of the zone. Thanks for trying though!
What has TH-cam done to their channel? They’re sticking adverts in every few minutes rendering the whole point of this video and all the other wonderful immersive videos that Abbie has spent time putting together, useless 😢
How did you make this repeated video!!!
I love the video, but the ads come too often and take me out of the “sprints.” I don’t know how much control you have over that, but it’s my only complaint. Otherwise, great video.
