    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!

    The "window only" imagery reminds me of a typical day in the life of living in Canada, looking out the window of my 1914 home, and seeing SNOW lol.
    But don't worry, I do find it beautiful and peaceful! With the exception of shoveling excessive amounts of it by myself 😂

    This takes me back to university. There was a library in one of our neo gothic buildings that had four overstuffed red leather chairs looking out over a courtyard. The heaters were directly in front of the chairs too. Reading (also napping) in one of those chairs in the winter was divine.
    If anyone watching this goes to the University of Toronto, visit Hart House library and read a couple chapters of Jane Eyre in my honour.

    I’m so late to this but it’s insanely helpful. The audio is great because it keeps me focused without getting me off track like lyrical music, and when I look at my screen (my usual method of getting distracted) I just see the timer.
    Thanks for making this! I’d love to see more.

    I miss the writing session with music. I hope that in the future will be more of them. It's a little boring just listening to the sound of snow and wind. (No critic, no judgment, just my opinion)

    • @samantharose1001
      @samantharose1001 5 місяців тому +5

      I’m sure she’ll do more of those in the future! Have you seen her playlist of the previous ones with music? Also her Spotify has a lot of writing playlists, too 🤗

    • @ile212

  • @bardodasmusas
    @bardodasmusas 6 місяців тому +6

    Abbie Emmons. We'll probably never meet. You write books I won't ever read. And I write ones that won't interest you. Despite that I'm grateful for this technological connection, even though it is artificial and onirical in a way. It's like talking to a spirit, lost in the grand sea of information, dozing off at the door of the Oracles. Your voice is akin to a song, a forgotten melody of incomprehensible words, floating in a garden made up by the imagination of bored nymphs.
    Your eyes glimmer with hope and despair. I can see your tears behind all the charismatic smiles. The longing to create a masterpiece. To be loved. To feel recognized not only for your hard work. To be seen by the right people. To build a legacy signed with your name.
    The flowers tell me of all the adventures that life holds. The birds tell me secrets about time itself. The pouring rain washes away illusions, making room for dreams and reality. The wishes turn into routine, blessing the journey with light and commitment. Not to change the world with the words that are channeled through me. That's not my goal. I write to take these impressions out of me. To exorcise demons. To summon angels. To maintain my sanity. To sow love in this world of disconnection.
    Maybe you won't read this. Maybe you will. That's not the point at all. What I feel is the most important thing at this ephemeral glimpse called a moment. I am grateful. Really. I am. For having your imaterial presence in my life, pushing me forward. For being virtuous and caring. May the Muses bless you with inspiration and creativity.
    From one writer to another.
    Thank you for existing.

    I love the ambient sounds of the wind and the fire, they are such comforting sounds for me, and REALLY love the sounds for the break! Please keep making these videos without music (music is good in them as well!) for us who like to listen to ambience by itself or with our own music in the background. Don’t mind the people in the comments being upset that there is no music in this one, I think it’s beautiful as it is.

    Thank you for this! I was feeling super unmotivated today and this helped so much with forcing me to buckle down and get my word count. I hit it and got a little extra.
    I also loved the break at 56:03 with the talking and door sounds, was like a short little ASMR break! :)

    I really like this one. It puts me in the mind set I need for this particular writing session. Funny thing is my story is set in remote Cape York Queensland Australia and I'm listening to snow, wind and a cracking fire. Just goes to show that sounds are just important to a mood as is music. By the way I love your immersive sessions with instrumentals too.

    The playlist goes well with the video, but I wish the music was in the video instead. I don't have spotify premium, I can't afford it... so I keep getting ads and it ruins my concentration and distracts me (ads about holiday depression, drink responsibly, Daily Quote podcast, buy Spotify Premium!, etc. just don't fit with the vibe). 🙁 I wish I didn't have to play a separate music track with it and it was combined like the older ones.
    I really like these to get writing done but I like the ambient sound with the music... it doesn't work so well for me when they're not together. I keep replaying "writing in an enchanted forest but it gets darker (and spookier?) the longer you write" and "Writing in a Haunted Victorian Mansion During a Thunderstorm"... I think they are my favourites so far. Dark fantasy castle on a story night I also use a lot.
    I'm done the first sprint now and have 100 words and have had about 8 ads on Spotify... Ended up spending more time writing this than working on my story due to the ads. (video & playlist have been running while I wrote this...). After the break I'll try again. I really dislike Spotify for all those ads that are 2x as loud as the volume of the music.

    It really sucks that there are youtube adds in here now :) one of the reasons that I liked these videos so much was because it was one of the few where you didn't get commercial interruptions if you didn't have Premium. As well as being the perfect length for writing sessions. Still like the ambiance, just unfortunate that youtube wants to ruin things for people unless you are willing to dish out money.

    Scripts with STRONG female roles have been around, Disney just hasn't been looking. MTV, of all studios, has done a spectacular job of finding writing that is so perfect for strong female characters with the 1883, 1923 and Yellowstone series. Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Faith Hill, Isabel May, Tim McGraw, Billy Bob Thornton, Sam Elliot, Kevin Costner and even 007, Timothy Dalton, who turns in a spectacular job as a mean, greedy SOB who enjoys BDSM.
    Isabel May is Elsa Dutton. A 17 year old that the ENTIRE three shows and all of the seasons are built on.
    But Woke Disney finds female characters nobody wants and tries to pull a movie around them with crap plots and a script that the actors should have run from.
    There's no better writing than what Sheridan does in these shows! I challenge anyone, ANYONE, to watch the first four minutes of 1883 and NOT want to binge watch all ten episodes!
