    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!

    I am 81yrs now. Very tired of the pain, anxiety and negative I'm surrounded by. I will be returning Home soon and cant wait. My sweet dog, Izzy, is waiting for me, I'm very excited to see her. To all of you listening to this music from our angels, please care for yourself. Listen to what you need, I did not. I was a nurse for 54 yrs and wore my spirit and body down, not thinking of what I needed. So, listen to your soul, follow your guides. God bless.♥

      I think it helps because it does the three things we need most in one: A continuous music setting so we aren't swapping albums, playlists or whatnot, and a timer, so we can keep focused on writing but also has 'built in' breaks where we can get up and take a break but also be ready to come back to writing in a reasonable amount of time.

    I just found these over the summer. I've been slowly chipping away at a novel all year, writing maybe two hundred words a week- and then I found these. I've been putting in between 4000 and 8000 words a day using these videos. They're fantastic. The timer really helps me concentrate!

    After this writing sesh, i wrote 957 words! I Really loved this, and i liked how it was very cozy, and warm! i listened to this, while writing my fantasy book that takes place in the early 1900, and i really loved how it fitted my book setting!
    Thank you SO much!!

  • @melissanichols2563

    Okay, let's try this again! Hopefully this goes better than last time. I've got four hours before I have to clock in for work so hopefully I can get through the entire video.
    My plan: Finish that scene I started last time. After that, I'd like to either do the scenes I skipped over last time or just skip them altogether. I really just want to get this new edition of the book back into the master document so I can move on.

  • @melissanichols2563
    @melissanichols2563 2 роки тому +3

    OMG a new video I can listen to!! I'm trying this out today!!
    Okay, another writing session! My plan: Write the ending to chapter ten. I skipped several scenes that came before it in the manuscript but honestly they're conversation-based and I couldn't come up with any ideas. But this chapter ending scene I can do, so that's what I'm going to start with. I'll probably finish it and after that I'll reassess what I want to do.
    Okay, so, I did get the entire first sprint done. I got a couple hundred words, got a beautiful scene set up. But then my roommates started getting busy - one got off from their job and the other had a job interview so I had to move from my 'bedroom' area in the living room to her room because her room isn't Zoom-interview-ready which threw off my groove and she got the job which is so great for her! Her first Mon-Fri, 9-hour job since graduating university and her first full-time job EVER, and she's so excited! We got boba tea to celebrate and that led to time separated so they could de-sensitize and then things devolved into a couple of major discussions which was mostly them ragging on me.
    So, I only got the first sprint done. And tomorrow I have an hour of putting together my loft bed, then job interview but after that I can either spend another hour on my bed or do a video of writing - we'll see.
    So, progress! I showed up, I got work done, and that's a win in my book!
