How to *actually* STOP Overthinking and Write Your Story

SAVE YOUR SPOT AT THE LIVE TRAINING:   / upcoming-live-to-130013350  

Be honest—how many times have you rewritten the opening of your story, scrapped one idea for another, and felt completely stuck because you just can’t. stop. overthinking it? 😵‍💫 You’re not lazy or unmotivated—you’re caught in analysis paralysis, and it’s killing your creative momentum. In this video, I’ll show you how to actually stop overthinking and start writing the story that’s been living rent-free in your brain.

This isn’t some fluffy, feel-good pep talk. I’m sharing real, actionable techniques (including my life-changing "staircase method") that have personally helped me silence my inner critic, break free from perfectionism, and build a writing habit that actually sticks. Let's go!

✨ A B O U T ✨
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!
