Write With Me LIVESTREAM ✨✏️ (super chill writing session)

[@DragonsDungeon]

Didn’t stay for the entire thing, but it helped me finish a chapter I’d been procrastinating on writing for two weeks. Thanks for all the work you do, it certainly helps me write better stories

[@zenebornman7917]

Hey Abbie, just wanted to say I love your channel. I'm fifteen and I live in South Africa. I've been writing for three years and your videos along with Jenna Moreci and Natalia Leigh have really helped me a lot and I've learned so much. Love you and your book (it literally made me cry and realize that you don't need fancy prose and you can be simple and great). ❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙

Session 1 - Character development work sheets Session 2 - 710 words. (Loved the banter in this scene) Session 3 - 149 words. I had to do a bit of research on France to make sure I was writing la bise (hello and farewell kiss) scene correctly haha. Session 4 - 503 words. Writing conflict is so fun, why did nobody tell me this?! Took a 40 minute break Session 5 - 355 words. (It was getting so fun, was so sad to stop, but it's late) Thanks for this video Abbiel. You are a sweetheart and a joy to write with. So inspiring!

[@pratinavp]

Great session. Thoroughly enjoyed writing with you Abbie. Wrote about 10 pages of my short film script. 👍😀. Keep these coming. Love, from Hyderabad, India. ❤️❤️❤️

[@hotchicken9374]

I’m working on a children’s book called the lonely one. It’s about a bear at a carnival in Ohio.The bear never gets picked but at the end she gets picked

[@tocachicken8434]

That’s adorable and heartwarming ❤️ keep going and never give up. I’m sure it will turn out absolutely lovely, so keep going!

[@lucygoodwriter]

I had an idea for maybe doing a Friday night or Saturday night write-in. Just an idea.

[@nycrawgirl]

Thank you, Abbie. Another great writing session.

[@pheebles02]

Thank you for uploading this ♥️ since the live stream started to now, I have managed to write 4500 ish words so thank you :)

[@kalahpiatt7852]

Going back and rewatching your “write with me” vids to be more productive. I’m really only leaving this here for me to look back on:) 1st - Editing 25-ish words 2nd - Editing 55-ish words 3rd - Editing/Outlining 50-ish words 4th - 336 words Total - 466 words (P.S. To me, the book was TSAPCE:)

[@c.l.bailey3256]

Thank you for keeping these on your channel after you go live. Writing with you in these 25 min chunks is super helpful in making me get these words out. It’s super motivating to know you and a whole community is doing it too (even if it were months ago). I hope to catch a livestream soon. 🌈🐶❤️

[@narcissamalfoy2666]

I thought I was early…and then I saw the “Streamed live 2 hours ago”...

[@heidismith7968]

I have only recently started writing my own books that were not based on any kind of fanfiction in September of last year starting with a series about Arranged Marriages. Your Livestreams where people are able to write with you have helped me so much when it came to writing the stories that have become part of that series. Even when I take long periods of time off I come back and you are a great help with everything that I have gone through with the entire writing process. Thanks a whole bunch. I look forward to each writing session even when I have to wait until after I get out of school before I can continue writing it makes everything worth it when I finish my book in the very end. :)

[@hayleybrown1923]

A night time stream would be really cool

[@BreannaCoffman-wi8dy]

I am very happy that I joined this live stream! I wrote so much in the last one hoping to write more1061 words so far

[@inesruete7447]

i discovered these livestreams today. i've watched three in a row. I officialy live for this, and I'm soooo anxiously waiting for the next one.

[@mackenziebrynnrap]

Hello Abbie! I believe you said to tell you in the comments section time zones and potential availabilities, so if you're still wondering I'm Central Standard Time (1 hour behind you :D) and I do vaguely kinda sorta have a 9-5 schedule type thing so if that helps, excellent! Also, IDK if you're still looking for any video suggestions, but I'm actually curious to see a video on your thoughts exploring story and storytelling outside of Western culture. You might not be well-versed in that area (and that's fine, I myself am not lol) but if you did a video series or something like that exploring/studying story and storytelling from non-Western cultures and/or artists and educators in those fields and see if things like story structure or character arcs are similar and/or how different they are in the most popular/best rated movies/books/tv/etc. amongst audiences. Sending you love and thank you for your channel and advice and help and all those things!!!

[@thecreationqueen3344]

Ah, finally back to documenting my progress. I had to take a break due to personal reasons but now I get to write alongside the streams again! 384 words during writing sprint #1 578 words during writing sprint #2 372 words during writing sprint #3 432 words during writing sprint #4 ------- 1,766 words total In other words, some good progress. Off to the next stream!

[@yogawithdanielle7406]

Even though I'm not participating live, its so nice to follow along on my own time. So much more inspirational then setting a timer by myself... and I will buy that workbook as soon as you're done!!!

[@robinbailey-leonard3016]

Sorry to have missed the livestream, but always glad to come back to these videos! I've been writing a story since September, followed you since November, and since your live in November, I've written about 15,000 words- 32,010 total!! I'm not done yet, but I'm super proud of the progress!

[@MeishaWritesToo]

Even though I didn't make it to this live, it was great to watch this back and to write along with you, Abbie. I'm still working on my long outline and was able to crank out 2,325 words. This was great for me considering that I haven't touched my WIP since March 6. I will definitely be using this Pomodoro Technique moving forward.

[@caitlyn2905]

I'm working on a book and my word count goal is 80,000 for the whole book, which works out at about 4,500 words per chapter (there is 20 chapters). It is a challenge because I usually only write 1,000 words per chapter because they are normally short books. My goal is to write 2,000 words a day, but I don't check the word count until the end of the day otherwise I will get too distracted, I won't get the word count I wanted and what I right will be crap. #Happywriting!

[@retrotomato]

making up for it today since i missed it yesterday. thanks for sharing your playlist, finally found one that suits my story well.

[@arshdeepsingh9216]

I’m working on a high fantasy novel right now! I’m so very excited to be done with the first draft, only a few thousand are left. And, you really motivate me. :)

[@venus-rt2oj]

i finished a 5k word chapter, because of this! thank you!

[@aSmallDecline]

Hey Abbie, I'm new to your live streams (I always manage to miss when you're actually live!), but this really does help! Quick question: I'm a strict plotter, how do you incorporate new ideas into your plot as you're writing? I have my outline pretty much sussed out, but I recently had a new idea that has completely thrown me off course! Thanks for all that you do, you help us aspiring writers more than you know :) hope you're staying safe during this time!

[@malynbarnett5573]

I missed this! Anyway I am working on a fantasy novel. With the parents abandoned her, and being weirdly raised esc. With dragons! (I think that all of my books will orbit around a mythical creature) My word count before this: 5677 After: 6023

[@TaliMca231]

You can’t have fantasy with good parents 😉

Yes I would love a night time writing sprint live! Also I love your robe, do you know where it’s from or the brand name? It’s too cute! I have your book I’m going to be reading next after I finish the one I’m currently on.❤️☺️

[@StevieWrites]

Abbie, would you be willing to make a livestream playlist? I LOVE the livestreams they are SUPER helpful. but since my baby is a toddler and doesn't sleep all day anymore it's A LOT harder to catch a livestream!

6:00 EST would be good for me

[@xatiter]

What I ended up writing (its a rough draft, idk if its any good :P ) As the concvict stares helplessly into the soulessly dark opening, he can feel his blood running colder than the waters churning below me. Only when he reached the cliff did he truly feel helpless. In the distance, helicopters roar avove the forest, their burningly bright searchlights piercing through the brush. Vaguely, he can hear the commotion of the officers echoing amongst the trees - a search party looking for the man who had killed his daughter. Or, more acuratley, the man whos wife had framed him for it. He knows that behind closed doors and fake tears, she is sipping on fine wine, claiming all of his fortune after his arrest - and subsequent escape. Until now, this forsest had been his safe haven. Now, at the ledge of a cliff with a violent ocean churning below and practically an army behind him, hes left with but two choices: a life of bondage, or a death in freedom. Slowly, he prepares to do the latter

[@manahilfaisal4172]

For your book there is no table of contents with list of chapter-pages was that done on purpose or any specific reason?

[@moonyloops]

A lot of fiction books don’t have tables of content, that’s mainly a non fiction thing
