Oh my gosh, this comment made me smile 🥲❤ You're doing great, Kassandra! If you follow your heart and enjoy the process, you can't go wrong ✨ I'm so happy this video inspired you!! rock on

Matter of fact I am currently rewritting my first novel (because of Abbie 's videos, but I don't feel scared at all), on the contrary, I feel thrilled because I'll have more tools to write a compelling story!!

You're gonna laugh Abbie, but you just gave me the tools to plot my third novel (and I'm not even done with the first 😂) and I'm already shipping my enemies to lovers couple!! Thanks so much 😊!!

Same haha. I realized I actually already have a lot of these stages in my novel, but this video helped me point them out so I can focus on developing them more. Good luck with yours!

@@norsecosmos Thanks! You as well!

Wow, that is perfect timing!! Best of luck with your enemies to lovers romance, I'm sure it will turn out AMAZING 💕🙌

very helpful tips, thanks!

@@Missy04 Aw no problem, glad I helped someone! :D

@@trebaneconapise7793 yes, very much! I am planning a story with enemies to lovers and your tips helped me to find a few extra points to add :)

That’s exactly what I’m doing!! How are things going?

@@DefinitionOfCons Good, but things are progressing for them slowly as it’s a series long arc and I’m only on book 2. How about you?

don't tell anyone, but I have psychic abilities 😜

@@AbbieEmmons I wanted to ask some writing advice if possible. First, Englisch isn't my native language so they might be a few Grammer errors🙈 I'm writing a fantasy trilogy and of course there is an enemies to lovers story, which is fondamental for the plot as for the character developments. In the story there are 2 MCs, the ones of enemies to lovers romance. The problem is that the romance is kind of complex. I'll give you the two characters names because explaining it will be difficult and confusing without. I'll give you a quick view about the romance I head in mind. The MC, who is the one who's view the book is written, is Owen(a character who has a lot of trust issues because of his past and has also issues with himself->in the end this missbeliebe will turn). The second MC is Tomás (who believes what's said from 'superior' people with more power then him. ->a part of gis development consist in getting his own point of view of things and make own desicions) About the romance: It starts with kind of a 'we are strangers to friends' story. At the beginning Tomás knows about Owen, but not as person but only things he was told. Basically his intentions are killing Owen by gaining his trust and being friends with him. Owen doesn't know all of Tomás intentions and backstory. But of course all the hate that Tomás had for Owen eventually changes and he starts having feelings even if they are just in a building a friendship phase situation. He realizes he wants Owen not dead, as he were told was right, but alive and as his lover and partner. But then Owen finds out about all this and Drama. Here comes the turning and trickery point where I m struggling a lot. Like said, fantasy book, Tomás wants to talk with Owen but someine shaowshifts into his body and accomplishes the kill and Owen dies. (This is end of book 1, now starts book 2) Owen reawakes, there is a whole complex u can't die because of some prophecies and legend, not the immortality trope btw, and so he thinks Tomás killed him even if Tomás wasn't the killer because it was just his body pissed acting. So Owens feels betrayed and there starts the one loves the other hates. And the en (in book 3), like the last chapters they will love each other equally. So that was short version of the romances plot. Now the questions I can't really answer myself and where I may need an advice if possible: 1°How to create a realistic strangers to lovers (in this case i realise i love the one i should hate) , if they didn't meet each other and have no connection. The only connection is that Tomás saves Owen from an accident but the savior isn't known by Owen. So i struggle. Like there could be a meet-cute but even if there is one Tomás hates Owen. And a hate-cuye is difficult because Owen doesn't hate Tomás the first time they meet. 2° How to avoid the toxic part. I m referring too 'you killed me how can I ever love and trust you'. Because in the end the real Tomás didn't kill Owen and he says it everytime but Owen doesn't believe him. I thought letting the readers know about his innocence at the midpoint of the 2book, but still owen won't know it. Idk how to avoid to let this relationship be toxic because redemption of death and accepting that u where killed by a person you loved but in the you will still love us difficult. like building the whole development is a lot tricky without falling into toxic relationship tropes. 3°I want the readers to get in suspense if Tomás will be the one Owen chooses at he end. Problem: they are connect by prophecy to each other, one important part of the whole fantasy story, so it is kinda ovious that they willend up together even if there are ups and downs. Creating jealousy or a love triangle might work but in this scenario a love triangle seems too forced. But i don't know for sure because in the third book there is kind of a love triangle because there us a whole back in time traveling moment and the person Owen loved, who died in his arms at the beginning of book one(which is mainly part of the inciding incident) is still alive and will be for the whole book. That would create conflict. But it feels forced and also ovious who will be the person he chooses except if I turn it into a polyamory relationship which would be a plottwists that nobody would expect. I want the readers to be interest about those romance and it not being a predictive plot. Do you have for all of this any advice. If you could help, it would mean a lot. And if thanks a lot for taking time for reading all this because it s a lot. I love your amazing videos and I'm trying to search in it too find answers to those questions but still there are missing peaces. Have a nice day. Can't wait for another WritersLiveWednesday video and also for the new book of yours. 🌻☺️

​@@iangallagher6671 I stumbled across your comment and couldn't help but read it because your story sounds pretty interesting 😊 I'm in a similar situation where my two protagonists start out as strangers, eventually become allys until an event occurs that makes one hate the other (although he is innocent). The book is written from character A's point of view, so neither character A nor the reader knows if character B really has bad intentions until like the last 20% of the story. I try to circumvent the toxicity of the relationship by including scenes where character B shows his true intentions to character A. He doesn't straight up tell him "I'm actually innocent and you have to believe me". Instead, I have him be gentle and protective of character A over the course of the story. As a result, character A doubts whether the story he believes to be true is actually true and allows himself to develop these positive feelings towards character B (because how can this cinnamon roll have bad intentions?) I don't know if that's been helpful to you, maybe I just got too excited about the similarities in our books 😂 As for the love triangle, maybe Owen could be in an actual relationship with this other person and start to think he's over Tomás, atleast for a while and only if the plot you had in mind allows it, of course. Whatever you decide to do, that person should be a likeable, three-dimensional character with their own motifs, not just a second love interest that will vanish as soon as they are no longer needed. Otherwise the reader will see them as a plot device that serves solely to create drama between the protagonists. The last thing I'd like to say is that if some aspects of your book are predictable, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Your story has many twists and turns as it is - the whole shapeshifting and coming back to life thing, the time travelling, etc. As a reader, it is just as satisfying to watch a meant-to-be couple overcome all obstacles and problems to finally come together and have their happily ever after. I'm sure your trilogy will be amazing either way! 😊

@@candid___cam2248 thanks a lot for ur answer.🎉 It helped a lot. The love triangle struggle: The third person, M.C, of the love triangle is important because it was MC.A boyfriend who died in his Arms understanding and saving him. After the time traveling they avoid his death. MC.A who suffered during the first two books about MC.Cs death, has change in his character arc after MC.C is alive. As MC.C is the only human of the 3, there will be internal conflict of understanding all the fantasy stuff ecc.,and he still is in a relationship with MC.A, because they are back in time and avoiding his death ment that MC.A and MC.C are still together as at begining from book 1 it creates a relief of avoiding a loss of MC. C, a persone he truly loved and kind of still does. But at the same time MC.A was starting two forgive MC.B, maybe creating more than friendship feelings, who loves MC.A. and that's where I m like helppp. Like, just make the classic love triangle or just change it into a unique way, like nobody of them comes together or all of them come together after a lot of conflict and issues. May there will be a polyamory relationship. I don't know. I think time will allow me to think. But thanks for your help☺️🙈 And it s so cool we both have similarities in our story. Have a nice day

There already is though?

Depending on how long you want the series to be, you can use the point A (enemies), point B (friends), point C (lovers) segments that Abbie was talking about as a guideline. Here are some ideas on how you could break it up/stretch it out. duology: book 1= enemies to friends book 2 = friends to lovers trilogy: book 1= enemies to allies (lukewarm to the other but appreciate/admit the other's abilities) book 2 = allies to friends book 3 = friends to lovers 4+ book series: book 1= enemies to rivals (still dislike each other but appreciate/admit the other's abilities) book 2 = rivals to allies book 3 = allies to friends book 4 = friends to good/best friends book 5 = good/best friends to lovers I gave different starting and ending points for the relationships per book because you generally want some level of a character arc between their dynamics so they don't feel like they're stagnating. If your series is longer than five books, I think it would be be fine to keep them longer in the rival/ally/friend stages as long as you see the characters developing in other ways as well (misbeliefs, character flaws, etc.). These developments can also be staggered where, for example, character A deals with their character flaw in book 2 but character B deals with their character flaw in book 3. That way, even if books 2 and 3 are them being allies, there is still some character progression happening that will help the other character (e.g. character B) see the positive changes in the first character (e.g. character A) and will therefore draw them closer to the character who is getting the character development in said book.

@@xfairfaeriex thank you so much! This really helps!!

Same!, Hope it goes well!❤
