Enemies to lovers: everyone's favorite romance trope. As a hopeless romantic, I love watching two characters clash and fight and threaten to stab each other for 300 pages only to discover by the end of the story that they actually CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT EACH OTHER. However... thereā€™s nothing worse than a hate-to-love romance that feels rushed or unearned because the author didnā€™t take the time to craft a realistic, compelling, and emotional journey of change for this fictional couple. That's why, in today's video, I'm sharing 5 SIMPLE TECHNIQUES that will take your enemies-to-lovers romance to the next level and make your readers fall in love. šŸ˜

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 isnā€™t about ā€œwhat happensā€ ā€” itā€™s aboutĀ howĀ what happens affects and transformsĀ the characters.Ā 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. Thatā€™s what we talk about every week on this channel ā€“ and if itā€™s something youā€™re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
