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!

I didn't need the full 30 days to convince me that I NEED Scrivener in my life! So I really appreciate you letting us know about this great writing program and for the discount code! I've gotten more progress made toward my book in the past week than I had in the prior 2 months. It's been a HUGE help already and I imagine, God willing, it will be a huge help to me for months or even years to come. Thank you, Abbie! (PS - I totally sound like an advertisement there lol. Sorry! I am just really excited that I'm FINALLY making some real progress on my book and the program has been a massive help with that. I wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for you, so thank you!)

I hope this helps organize me and just wanted to tell you thank you for taking some time out of your busy life to help newcomers like me get organized so we have our best chance for success.

Do it! It truly is a game changer! While some folks warn against drafting in Scrivener, I did it anyway. The only downside that I encountered was unlike Word, there is no autocorrect as you're typing. But it's easy enough to go back and fix later and wasn't enough of a pain to stop using it for drafting.

Hi Abbie, Okay I have finished your Scrivener course and it is SO great - such a helpful way to kickstart using this software for anyone looking to get started on a novel. And your template? Wow - so useful! I would pay money for this template! The questions and prompts and explanations - wow, they've helped me flesh out this story, which has been circling in my head for several years, more in the last two days than I have been able to do just mulling it over in my head for 2+ years. And your character templates... wow, my characters suddenly have backstories that I wasn't even aware of, and I sometimes find myself having to stop and catch my breath at how emotional some of these backstories are now that they are on the page. Your course, and this template, have actually given me the confidence to attempt NaNoWriMo for the first time - I'm daunted and scared, but I think these tools will really make a difference and give me the support I need. Thank you! I have a question about your character template specifically and your Scrivener template: in the character template you have a section for "The Backstory Scene That Changed Everything" and in the Scrivener template you have another section called "Main Character Pivotal Moment Scene". Are these the same thing? Do you tend to have the same content in these sections?

I'm a marketing writer and a very novice story writer... I use scrivener for EVERYTHING! It has increased my work flow because it allows me to do so much, so much easier.

I really love Scrivener! I did find that I wasn't able to utilize it like you described in my earlier drafts. If a person wants to create new files for every draft then this probably won't matter. But so much changed and I spent soooo much time just fixing my outline. Though, once my draft 3 was about to start it was EVERYTHING. So I think it really depends on how ppl like to work. I'm just OCD 😅

I've had issues with Scrivener previously, when I first tried it. However, having watched your video and adapted my layout by using a few of your suggestions, I am ready to give it another go and see what happens! Thanks, Abbie! :)

You are so funny, and enjoyable. I love your work and I'm certainly backing that up by buying it!!! I really need to learn how to use Scrivener (seriously). It's a crazy learning curve and makes me feel like a darn fool. I'm trying and I will take the masterclass in Scrivener, and then, I'll go back to using a legal pad!!! Thanks, Abbie

Thank you, Abbie! I used your promo code when I got scrivener just now :) i am tired of having to open so many different documents in word and it made me so unmotivated to write. I just tried scrivener a little bit now and it feels much more organized!

Oh ... my ... gosh. You're so the queen of organization, Abbie. I feel exhausted just looking at the sample project you created. I may still give Scrivener a try, but I don't think I'd be able to keep things as organized as you do. Then again, maybe I'll find it's not as hard as it looks, so ... who knows? :)

There's some genuinely good tips here. I like how you did the outline section, and that's something I'm going to adopt. Up until now I've been using dozens of random Scrivener text files, which all have bits and pieces in them without any cohesion, so I end up forgetting what I wrote and where I put it. Also the snapshots feature. What I was doing was creating a new text file for the 2nd draft of a chapter, and manually copying in the 1st draft content before writing over it. Snapshots is a much simpler method to use. Really like the Emerald theme, too. I was aware of templates, but didn't really make use of them, but I will now. The scene cards thing looks amazing too. I struggle a lot with a million ideas and tangents, and you've created/used a few methods that will help me structure my work a bit more. Cheers.

Just finished the Masterclass and I am so very thankful that you put it together. I have struggled with getting my Scrivener organized so that it is useful for me. I have already reorganized a couple of writing projects and now both are moving forward again which is wonderful. The Masterclass is well wroth it and extremely useful for anyone who is struggling with using Scrivener. I was about to give up on using it and now I feel confident while using it. Thank you Abbie!!!
