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!

Yes!! The immersive writing videos are the ones I go back to over and over and over again!

[@paolaaishi6529]

This is legit perfect for the first scene in one of my novels.

[@asmrglow]

no that's crazy i literally finished writing a scene like that in my book (well more like a dark vampire type lol) and at the time i couldn't find enough music for that theme on youtube LOL!!! Abbie reads minds

[@ClefairyFairySnowflake]

Thank you for these musical writing sessions! They are very helpful! Keep them coming, please and thank you!

[@yasminebenia826]

I was counting the days till you release a new immersive session video. Thank you ^^

[@TMscifiwrtr]

Thanks Abbie! I enjoy how you mix it up so that it is fresh and fun. This is the first time I've done this type. I have been doing the write with me live 😊

[@miguelcarretero9285]

I need a V2 of this and traveling trough the medieval fantasy! Exactly what I enjoy listening to focus 👌

[@paolaaishi6529]

This is the perfect background noise for when I'm writing my novel!

[@lexi_nator]

When I saw this in my notifications my jaw *dropped.* This is the entire spirit of my book! I love you Abbie!

[@carlosbalazs2492]

Man, writing a sci-fi ball scene and then a campfire at a nearby beach. Not exact, but close enough.

[@bethanycox6143]

Ahhhh! I've been waiting for another Immersive writing session!

[@Supramedical68]

Thanks Abbie. The sound of the cicadas really set the vibe off.

[@Philliana]

This is literally SO awesome! Thank you so much Abbie! You always know exactly what we need!

[@amandaberofsky]

Thank you so much for this! I really love the ones that aren't spooky.

[@mayaabi.bugeja]

can't wait!!! Thanks for these videos Abbie ❤❤❤

[@justClaya]

Oh my gosh I literally NEED this! I have wanted to write something like this forever and here’s my excuse! 🤩

[@ScarHead07]

Abbie you are the best. Thank you so much for the Immersive Writing Sessions. Keep them coming 💖

[@hannahewoods]

These writing sessions are so amazing! Thank you for putting so much work into them💕

[@Plant_in_a_box]

Perfect timing, I can practically hear my medieval fantasy wip calling to me now :D

[@rosalynkastner9072]

I always miss these. Is there a regular time for these writing sessions?

[@Hope-zr2le]

I am first time in this kind of video. I dont know what is this👏👏

[@Callie-gu9hc]

rlly love these immersive writing videos! they get me in the mood to write! plz keep on doing them and the podcast!!!

[@ingridaneimane5051]

Hello everyone from UK

[@woofdango]

Perfect timing for this as I'm just nearing the first ball scene on my book!

[@willow2816]

Once again another amazing sprint! Also I would love a poor medieval village playlist, where the medieval village has to welcome back their unfair and unjust lord who comes back for a festival from a ‘quest’ of some sorts. Life was miserable when he was around and then a rebellion sparks up one night and fire burns through the village and the forest near it, making the village turns to ashes… and the sound of clattering swords of knights and rebels and feared villagers soon quietens into the sound of a desolate, evacuated village… (A simplified version of my beginning-) please consider making this idea!

[@OFfIcIaL_DJ1]

Omg im so excited to start the 4th book of my series when im not even done with the first one jsut cuz it has a ball scene 🤭

[@deborahminter6231]

Beautiful!❤

[@LadyAlmariel]

This is amazing ! I just finished writing a story with a scene that this ambience would have fitted perfectly !! I'll listen while reading it again. I also have a request : could you consider making an immersive session for writing scenes set in antiquity like in a palace or something like that ? Thank you for putting so much love and efforts into your videos. Not only the sound but the background arts are amazing too!

[@MattNewcomb-xd4wb]

This is great timing for this video! I'm working on a carriage scene right before a formal event with similar dancing. So, I'm going to be using this immersive writing video a fair bit since this is helping me get in the right headspace to work on both these scenes.

[@cicjose6016]

omg YES YES YES!

[@marleenstukkien5384]

Just shared this video with a co-worker that would love, love, love to write fiction based on the farmlife that was her youth. Hope to see her here as well someday... 😊

[@sunflower-ducks]

Ooh, I'm excited for this one!! 💛

[@Bernadette-tm7cc]

So excited for this, Abbie! These are always amazing! 🩷

THAN YOU SOOO MUCH Abbie for another writing session!!!!! always listening to them

[@zombiesouffle]

Wow a song from the magic flute! Love it~

[@user-fz2fk5vn2g]

This is so perfect! I even know a couple of songs so it was even better! It really helped me to focus and get my writting done! (Its my first time writing a novel though its just for fun😅)

[@daphneking6989]

I love this soooo much!! I even use it when I work on my college homework! 💕💕💕💕💕

[@StinkerTheFirst]

Excellent! This is an excellent writing atmosphere.

[@HollyHartsell]

Thanks, Abbie!! I love these so much!

[@jbrowne007]

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! 🙏🏻😱😈👽👾🧙‍♀️🦈

[@Iso20227]

I made some progress on my stories. Any progress is good progress. I was working on two of my stories, “the Mage” and “Fable of the Hunter”. In the mage, I focusing on introducing the other 6 members of the Magic squad that will serve as a training arc for Yuen, my main character. In Fable of the Hunter, I’m just trying to get past the introduction. I’m building up the appearance of the first mythological monster, the Pterolycus. It will serve as the first major main plot point and the inciting incident, as it attacks Hunter (the protagonist) and leaves him critically wounded and scarred.

[@allisonortiz6334]

AHH! 😍

[@Maddie_Katt]

This is so related to what I’m writing at the moment thank you 😭

[@anandaferraresi]

Literally writing this exact scene! How do you even do that??

[@Playlist4399]

Victorian steampunk setting here :) writing on a gala night where my enemies to lovers characters are having a nice moment together!!! I guess they'll sneak out to the gardens eventually ;)

[@chloepeterson9119]

This so does not match the vibe im writing, but I still love it. I write dystopia sci-fi listening to this lol

[@canaisyoung3601]

I guess the way a Regency ball can fit into a dystopian sci-fi is if the people higher up on the social ladder have a retro ball like this while the people lower on the social ladder plan on raiding it to get back at being oppressed. That's probably not what you're writing, but it is a good idea.

[@chloepeterson9119]

that isn't what I'm writing really, but I can see the queen of the city country holding eccentric balls and masquerades. She's a very crazy, colorful and woman but at the same time she's hiding her identity so it might not be a good idea for her to be out and about with her "subjects" as she calls them. Most of the time I listened to this I was writing the Lantern Festival so more dance like but I'd say more Celtic upbeat music. The city has a gothic and sci-fi look to it, and the festival celebrates history so lots of ancient looking things to feed back into my desire to mix aesthetics lol. I really love your idea fyi.

[@kay12]

This is my favorite one yet!

[@DalalIsaac]

I loved it! thank you so so much 😘

Currently writing a Jane Austen fanfic. This goes perfectly! Will you please do a video about Sense and Sensibility? Like deconstructing Austen's way of wrting arguments between the main hero and heroine? Or any spot on advice from you would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

[@Scientist118]

What's funny is that I'm listening to this while typing up a fanfic involving post-apocalypse Russians and a Disney princess.

[@estilen]

Hi abbie! Love love love these immersive writing sessions, and all your videos in general. Idk how youtube works, but are you able to put all of your immersive writing sessions into a playlist? That would be super helpful! Thank you!

[@trishamessmer2610]

@estilen You can actually do this yourself. Click the three dots under the video, then Save. You have an option to Create a playlist and/or add a video to a playlist. I've done this myself. That way you can customize it to your own preferences.

[@Peaslepuff]

I'm not Abbie, but my vote is on editor, so your literacy agent can see your better work.

[@Mama-tf2dn]

Hi do you have video about second chance romance? Im planning to write one but not sure how will I start or whats gonna be the beggining. I'm torn between starting with how the lead characters met for the very first time OR meeting again after they broke up and adding flashbacks between chapters. Since second chance romance is like 2 series of their love story, how can I apply the 3 ACT

[@PatK.1]

kzbin.infoyNcgYan6rEE Let's all agree.... If Abbie weren't such a great teacher, most of us wouldn't be writing.

Ads are breaking this video up. I wouldn't mind at breaktime, but not during the writing phase. :(

[@RhinoReads]

Why am I getting ads every 5 min now. ugh

[@ellagrant7456]

What's with the ads? I was loving this video for the past week but now there's suddenly ads everywhere. It really breaks your concentration when you're yelled at about needing eyeliner just seven minutes after you settle down to write.
