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 isnāt about āwhat happensā ā itās 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. Thatās what we talk about every week on this channel ā and if itās something youāre into, be sure to subscribe and join this

Community: chooses fantasy genre over romance in the polls
Abbie: ā¦FANTASY RoMANCE

I actually love that she has the sweet girl aesthetic with a badass/mysterious personality. Its fun.

Why be so conflicted over whether the idea of a "soft," girly girl could work? Sure, it canāever heard of the term "pretty poison"? Have her lure her prey to their deaths by way of food and drink, then poison them, probably via some deadly form of flower extract to complete the "pretty" motif. Overt kindness covering covert cold-bloodedness is truly chilling, and potent, so writing such a character is MORE than intriguing to me.
Having her being a poisoner would fit her as also a spy and assassin, and if so, who is she doing this for? What are her loyalties and how was she trained? How much remorse does she feel? The tension and mistrust betwixt her and whoever her love interest is start to write themselves.
A strong female character need not know martial arts nor have great physical strength to have power, folks; why beat them up when you know how to manipulate them? A poisoner and manipulator whilst appearing classically feminine would be a GREAT complement.
What if she's killed someone he seeks to avenge, and they're falling for each other? Or she realizes she has to kill either him, or someone he holds dear? What if she has to comfort him after she's murdered his mother, say, and now he's cursing out poisoners in particular as incorrigible cowards whilst swearing vengeance on whoever did this? There's no easy resolution, is there?

I am so fascinated by how fast you come up with an entire outline like that! It seems so simple when you do it. When I try making up a story, I always get stuck on tiny details immediately. Like, I create these problems or plot twists for my characters, but then I can't figure out how to solve them, so I just quit. I think it's really hard to find that balance between too vague and too precise.

Honestly would love to see this get written. I really love the idea of an assassin woman who dresses beautifully or seems to have a gentle look to her despite her darker ambitions. For one, it hints to another side of her. But also, it'd help her blend into places where she could do her job unnoticed. It shows that she's versatile. The only thing I was kinda sad didn't make it into the outline was the community voted grumpy guy. I think having him be all the things you outlined, including having a "life of the party" and cheerful disposition for his public appearance while being a bit sardonic and grumpy when with her would've been interesting. She can be sharp witted and sarcastic, but she actually does have a sweet side that is gentle which comes out moreso when she's vulnerable would've also been interesting to see.

Only Abbie would approach a slay-the-dragon trope and go "Nope. Animal cruelty. Gotta have a workaround for that bit." šā¤

NO MY BOOK HAS ALL OF THOSE- except "she's an assassin"...for now ;)

Maybe the prince can be an outcast AND funny/goofy/charming at the same time because :
1. The king has considered the prince to be unworthy to be king since his childhood, maybe because of some sacred oath, or rite of passage, because of his public speaking fear or something similar.
2. Because he did not have his father's favor, the others in the palace might have ostracized him, like the nobles and his brothers
3. He's awkward, maybe shy because of the isolation and is not the best at socializing, but maybe sneaks out once and meets the guards of the palace and finds loyal friends in them? They might not know that he is the prince, but they're comfortable around him and like him. Maybe he goes to the towns with them and sees the conditions of the peasants and how they live. They could be suffering or something maybe, possibly because of his father's misgoverning (he could be showing favoritism to the nobles), and this becomes something the prince fixes later on in the end when the king is dethroned.

I was so upset when Grumpy Guy/Sunshine Girl won over Sunshine Guy/Grumpy Girl
Would love to see more challenges like this!

Honestly, I am writing a book that combines several genres including murder and suicide mystery, romance, fantasy, and science fiction. However, I just wanted to say that your videos have been incredibly helpful in my learning process. Thank you, Abbie, for sharing such valuable content. I look forward to seeing more from you.

I love the name āKieranā for the softy, female assassin. The name means, ālittle dark oneā. It fits her personality. The name has a feisty edge, but it is also sweet- a beautiful blend, just like her. āŗļø

Loved the way you laced all those ideas together and seeing how you built it from the ground up. Pure genius.

I needed this video ! I realised that the first novel I ever wrote has so many (honestly SO many) of these same ingredients, yet the story is waaay different. And all of a suden, my fear of not being original is gone ā„

Great to know people like royalty and elemental magic.

As a fellow fantasy writer, I screamed when I saw the hashtag, because Protecting the Dragons is basically what my book is all about xd
