Writing Type 5 Characters — "The Investigator" (Enneagram for Writers)

Want to create characters who feel jump-off-the-page REAL? Messy, brilliant, and full of human flaws? The Enneagram is your secret weapon for taking your characters to the next level. In this video, we're exploring the Enneagram Type 5 (“The Investigator”). We’ll unpack everything that makes Fives tick: their biggest weakness, their razor-sharp intellect, their tendency to retreat emotionally, and their superpower for learning.

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!
