Is it possible to take the world’s most HATED tropes and combine them all into ONE story without it turning into a total disaster? That’s a question I was forced to face when I made my last writing challenge video, where I took all your favorite fiction tropes and combined them into "the perfect novel." But what would happen if we worked with the WORST ingredients? The cringeworthy cliches? The skin-crawling stereotypes? Everything you HATE in a book? Sounds like an impossible mission, doesn’t it? Well, I’m all for taking on the impossible.

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!
