The Secret to Writing ANY Time Period (Without Info-Dumping)
Ever read the first paragraph of a book and you *instantly* know exactly where you are? That's the magic of word choice, and it's one of the biggest challenges a writer can face. In this video, I'm breaking down the exact 3-ingredient formula I use to transport readers into ANY time period or setting, without a single line of exposition or a history lesson. We'll study three classic lit examples, build a description from scratch together, and you'll walk away with a formula you can actually steal and use today.📝 Grab the FREE printable practice guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RWrsdYsrO_Wii9TpZ5o97JorGvLoq4oW/view?usp=sharing

My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the psychology of storytelling and transform their ideas into a masterpiece.
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! Receive SMS online on sms24.me
