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!

[@lindseydamon4886]

For an aspiring author whose main protagonist is a police officer, I THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!

[@kindaouttaluck6328]

Sounds extremely interesting! Keep going:)

[@DespairDoctor]

I have a few stories in which my characters are detectives, or have to investigate murders at least.

[@Codys_Corner]

I have a WIP with a detective too! Wishing everyone of us luck and a lot of good ideas ❤️🙌🏽

[@andrewblissett2211]

I swear you represent to me what the internet should be all about. You are the most helpful, generous, and informative person I've ever seen on this platform. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication and for being an inspiration for thousands of young writers across the globe including myself!

[@nekotheanimecat4757]

how the heck do you have such PERFECT timing???

[@itsmelala1714]

Yay another immersive writing!! I love them so much (and my brain too), I get so productive with these, can't wait to use them during Nanowrimo!

[@AdriannaRaines]

THIS is what I'll be writing my revengeful crime thriller to during Nanowrimo. Tysm Abbie!!!!!

[@madelyn932]

I just spent 20 minutes staring at a document, wanting to write a thriller, but not knowing what thriller to write. THANK YOU!!! Just got an amazing idea 22 minutes into sprint 1

[@fransuh2853]

I can only imagine the love you put into making these. I could've spent hours trying to find all these sountracks and arranging them properly + you add the sprints, timers and athmospheric sounds... Abbie, you're something more than amazing ✨

[@madelyn932]

I used to have a hard time forcusing on writing for more than 20 minutes and for that entire time I would only be focusing on doing it so I could be done, but now I comfortable focus for up to 2 hours! These things are amazing! Thank you so much Abbie!

[@taytaythehufflepuff8532]

Even though this music wasn't intended for this, this is the PERFECT writing sprint video for a report I'm writing on the Enigma Cipher. I'm trying to make it a sort of spy-theme, and this kind of music is setting such a mood for it. Thank you so much! :D

[@tearstoneactual9773]

This is exactly what I need for working on my cyberpunk cop story. Great timing, Abbie. 😁

[@kassandra0]

I love this so much! It’s perfect for writing my spy novel! I’ll probably write my entire third draft listening to this!

[@AuthorJCCarpenter]

This is so perfect for my mystery writer heart. Thank you so much for making this. I'm currently outlining my next mystery book as I listen to it. Appreciate you! Take care!

[@dianajflora]

Wow, this is great! I'd love to see a calm and cozy SFF immersive writing exercise. That would be a challenge!

[@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! 🙏🏻😱😈👽👾🧙‍♀️🦈

[@lauracpita]

I am LOVING these Immersive Writing Sessions!! Please do a Christmas one 🎄

[@jonathanbaumler]

I love these so much! THANK YOU Abbie! 😊🙏🏼

[@HoneyVComb_]

my writing play list would suck without you!!!

[@TraceyLoscar419]

I have been really struggling with focus when working on individual scenes. Yesterday was the first time I tried one of these - the scene was in an interrogation room so it was a good fit. The time flew by and I got in 1500 words in two hours. These will definitely be added to my regular process. Thank you so much for the time and creativity it takes to make them, they truly help. 🌟

[@vmathew1609]

Thanks Abbie!... You rock!!♥️

[@fulltimeweeb7394]

Holy crap, you uploaded this just as I was getting back into writing my detective story... Great timing!

[@kenken_77mc]

PERFECT for my horror/mystery book! I am always SO productive while using these immersive writing sessions! Thanks so much Abbie!

[@maddieray5406]

Thanks so much for these immersive writing things. I love them. Writing a mystery and it keeps me going!

[@tammiegipson8870]

I love these writing session videos. 😁

[@nani-hi8de]

please never stop making these. even if i'm not writing they're amazing ambiance

[@VideoGameRoom32]

These workshops are so helpful. You're the best.

[@leigh-anjohnson]

I'm currently drafting a fantasy retelling that your previous playlists perfectly matched. This one matches an Urban Fantasy that I am outlining. This is perfect! The Urban Fantasy is inspired by the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher and the TV show Grimm

[@stephaniewilliams6776]

Your immersive videos are the best, top tier content!

[@user-mj8hv8ey8g]

This is so perfect for my current series

[@bieber89430]

Currently writing an essay about the "Boston Strangler", and this has helped me out a lot! Thank you so much :)

[@CinnaBonXoXpRetzEL]

This has helped me a lot with focusing on writing out the updated outline of my WIP! The tone and dark rainy setting really helped me get in the mood for my urban fantasy vampire novel. THANK YOU!!!

[@ishikawa_sachi]

I have to say thank you 😭 this set is my fav companion to my current WIP. I couldn’t have done it without you.

[@AlleluiaElizabeth]

Loved this. Thank you so much. Will there ever be a cyberpunk/futuristic themed one of these? Cyberpunk can kinda tie into the crime scene thriller aspect, so that's why I'm bringing it up here. Not trying to be pushy.

[@WORDSANDBRUSHSTROKESSTUDIO]

This is my favorite one so far!😍

[@crazydolkadot]

This is exactly what I needed!!!!!

[@alisongood9572]

This is amazing and perfect and genius! Love it!

[@Neko_Calico]

I have waited for one of these for my project. Thanks Abbi 😁

[@wizardgaming758]

This is just what I was looking for, thanks, Abbie! Some of these 'sounds' reminds me of my favourite show, 24. It just makes me think of Jack Bauer on a mission

[@eifet]

Not gonna lie, this is the best crime scene ambience I know. I was listening to it for some time and then lost it. And it was extremely hard to find, because for some reason it didn't show up when you search for "Crime scene ambience". And I tried some other ambience videos, until I finally for this again. And it's just awesome. Thank you very much for creating this :) I only wish there were more ambience videos from you, because they are truly great

[@worthfightingfor2299]

I LOVE THIS.

[@kaokurosawa3872]

Very dystopian. Adore it!

[@tiomela]

My urban fantasy book is set in Vancouver, Canada. This is exactly what I need for my detectives as they hunt for a murderer who might be a vampire.

[@RieRieGirl]

@AbbieEmmons - Happy Writer's Life Wednesday! I'm so excited for this Immersive Writing Session. I am looking forward to participating in the next live write-in! Subbed!

[@user-yg2gi6pq6s]

I just exited one of your videos to look for a video like this, such a coincidence that this is also from you! Love your channel btw, SO helpful in writing!!!

[@Claire.SageGreenCreative]

I’m writing contemporary ya no murders but this is awesome!!!! Feels like I’m on the show Castle, lol 💚

[@edithendlesshobbies]

Wow you read my mind! I’m just starting my crime novel now!

[@rpaul250]

You always nail the atmosphere and tone so well, regardless of the topic or choice of scene.

[@jacksilver7955]

The first chapter explains how the main female character goes blind. Then ends with how her and her parent die in a car crash. Second chapter begins with blood dripping onto the necklace. It activates and time rewinds. I go into all the details about it. Then Danielle gets onto a plane. Awhile later after takeoff a military plane near them implodes. A time vortex opens and starts to pull on the plane Danielle is in. A female being inside the necklace forms a protective barrier around the plane, so it goes into the wormhole without breaking into a thousand pieces. (I will end it there) Finished writing the first three chapters. And outlined the rest of it. Looks to be about 36 chapters for book 1.

[@mishifishi6640]

please tell us when you're releasing this

[@Ghostrob2023]

Good afternoon, Abbie and thank you for the video post. To be honest, I think we're on the same wavelength or there's possibly chemistry there as if we were in synced because I thought of story to write which pretty much involves a crime that was committed. I started writing it last night and this would be the perfect background music to picture with how the story unfolds. Enjoy the rest pf your day and thanks again.

[@all-bookedbookreviews]

Thank you so much for putting this together!! This was a massive encouragement and help. I got 874 words in on my 1955 murder mystery, Who Murdered Nelson Manning? and I've only got one chapter left to write. I loved the rainy background noise. Please do more of these! Thank you!!

[@melinaouzouni6151]

Excellent video as always Abbie✨✨

[@zenebornman7917]

This is so cool!!!! 😍😍😍

[@OmegaVitaminC]

These are some of the best writing music collections on youtube, because of the breaks.

[@tmshields774]

Awesome! Thank you. A cure for procrastinators

[@winkhant6006]

This gave me the courage to write a crime novel THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION ABBIE I LOVE YOU

[@fearthebeardmomma2102]

Perfect for my detective MCs who are on simultaneous crime scenes as we speak/write. Nothing else was fitting, so this is perfect!

[@josiede8509]

You are the best 💜

[@etoillenoir6169]

this is amazing

[@michelles9666]

I’ve been writing a Regency era horror novel and for some reason this video helps me the most with writing 😂

[@janemuses3031]

That is so cool!

[@pakdjat4591]

I'm appreciate for this section. like this so much Do You have another suspense tension music like this? with the same vibes

[@math-wubb3485]

Not gonna lie, I don't even know what to do with the 5min breaks lol I've been using it to read some of my book, but then I wanna go past the five minuets of time, and I'm rewinding the video XD Anyways, great video - well-done *everything*

[@madelyn932]

Could we see a contemporary romance writing session? Or a fanfiction one? Not sure what that would look like, but as someone who always also has a fanfiction project going, it would be really fun

[@fulltimeweeb7394]

I agree!! Also if you don't mind me asking, what is your fanfiction about? As a member of many fandoms I'm very curious...

[@madelyn932]

@@fulltimeweeb7394 Sorry i didn't see this until now! At the time, I was writing for Percy Jackson and Keeper of the Lost Cities, and I'm now working on a lot of Hunger Games fanfiction and a season 2 for a show that got cancelled after season one and deserves more! What do you write?

[@mickeyandclaire]

Will for sure match the vibe when I get to the end of my book… but for now I have to stop stalling and finishing planning 😒

[@jennifervoigt2631]

Writing with this when your main character is a cop is great even if not at a crime scene.

[@jagerbaby8628]

I’ve been really wanting to listen to one of these but non of them apply to my book because mine is just a coming of age book. I know I could listen to these anyways, I just want one that would fit the mood I want.

[@jellybean9551]

Second!

[@serceskywalker]

Abbie can you do this for epic/fantasy/dark themes? 😢please

[@jayashreechakravarthy4949]

A complete analysis of my psychological state.

[@grondhero]

Interestingly, I'm currently writing a fantasy horror scene in a jail and this music helps.

[@musicalmedli]

Hey Abby, any chance we could know what the songs are that are played throughout the video?

[@devM4BP]

Listening to this while writing an article on how to break up with someone.😮

[@WHOISEVATBH]

bro i',m writing a y/a teen romance but this still helped me

[@garrisondodd9253]

I really want to be a webtoon comic creator. I'm able to write scripts for comics really well, but I'm not able to draw people at all. What should I do?

[@smamy8861]

practise or get someone to draw the comic for you

[@kiwifruitkl]

I can do the drawings!!!

[@zyriegnlynx3399]

i literally dreamed last night of being killed in a rainy night and i thought "oh, wow. this is interesting." HAHAHAHAHA

[@k.santiago2016]

this helped so much for my mafia book I'm writing.

[@shaylacox1489]

Oh yes Abbie is getting ready to be in Story Genius 2 🪙 💰!!! I am in the middle of my novella series and this will help me in those cop backstories of my side characters linked with my main protagonist! Appreciate you! #rockon
