Writing in a Haunted Victorian Mansion During a Thunderstorm | 2 HOUR IMMERSIVE WRITING SESSION

[@hauntandheal]

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 😊

[@knightchels011]

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.

[@pleasantpheasant1829]

Wow! I'm nowhere near as far into my own story (30K), but these videos have helped me too!

[@Nina-x7m5q]

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!

[@TerriTie]

I don't know how many hours I will take to finish my book, but I have gone through your playlist multiple times. 😅

[@petuniaromania6294]

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.

[@giuliaidiometri186]

I wrote 3.137 words in this session! Thanks a lot, Abbie. The atmosphere was perfect for my chapter. I am going to finish it in the following days. It's a difficult one, with heavy themes, so I'm going slowly. I have a lot to write in it. It's chapter 26 of my Taylor/Tarzan crossover fanfiction.

[@kristelpi652]

I’m so looking forward to that historic novel you’re writing ! 😂✨💞

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.

[@donroff5182]

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!

[@belle9033]

Good luck on your writing, dear!

[@seanshonepants]

[@LemonLimeKingdom3000]

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. 😃

[@ellagrant7456]

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!

[@fandomsforevernf]

I love when you make music playlists. It helps my writing sessions.

[@meganmcgee]

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.

[@lisahatfield4945]

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.

[@ThrasherMan]

Any way you could share what you wrote? (A year late, I wouldn't blame you if you don't even remember what it was, but it's worth a shot lol)

[@samanthaburrow6981]

These videos are great but KZbin put 3 ads in the first 15 minutes of the first sprint, love breaks in concentration lol

[@StinkerTheFirst]

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!

[@mzook7854]

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!

[@gregputnam7243]

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 😊

[@jadehoopoe]

What has KZbin 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 😢

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.

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?

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.
