I’d read it. 😉 Also, I know I’m coming in late … but how ‘bout this: the prophecy revolves around the “mirror”, but it’s been misinterpreted. The dragon IS the mirror, as it sees through to the soul of the wisher and reflects their true self back to them. If the wisher can embrace their true reality, the dragon finds them worthy.

Honestly would love to see this get written. I really love the idea of an assassin woman who dresses beautifully or seems to have a gentle look to her despite her darker ambitions. For one, it hints to another side of her. But also, it'd help her blend into places where she could do her job unnoticed. It shows that she's versatile. The only thing I was kinda sad didn't make it into the outline was the community voted grumpy guy. I think having him be all the things you outlined, including having a "life of the party" and cheerful disposition for his public appearance while being a bit sardonic and grumpy when with her would've been interesting. She can be sharp witted and sarcastic, but she actually does have a sweet side that is gentle which comes out moreso when she's vulnerable would've also been interesting to see.

I feel like the grumpy part of the trope for the guy is heavily informed by the fact that he feels so out of place in his environment and among his family. He obviously isn't accepted by his family and he bears the weight of that criticism. Over years, that can cause a person to go from sunny and constantly trying harder to becoming hard and cyncial inside because they just "know" that they will never live up to expectations and can never gain the approval of the people they most aim to please. That could be really fun to explore for the trope. Conversely, the sunshine disposition of the girl strikes me as manifesting in the story in a completely forced way from the female character. She is laying on the sunny bright positivity to gain the prince's trust and that isn't really who she is, maybe? @@AbbieEmmons

Maybe the prince can be an outcast AND funny/goofy/charming at the same time because : 1. The king has considered the prince to be unworthy to be king since his childhood, maybe because of some sacred oath, or rite of passage, because of his public speaking fear or something similar. 2. Because he did not have his father's favor, the others in the palace might have ostracized him, like the nobles and his brothers 3. He's awkward, maybe shy because of the isolation and is not the best at socializing, but maybe sneaks out once and meets the guards of the palace and finds loyal friends in them? They might not know that he is the prince, but they're comfortable around him and like him. Maybe he goes to the towns with them and sees the conditions of the peasants and how they live. They could be suffering or something maybe, possibly because of his father's misgoverning (he could be showing favoritism to the nobles), and this becomes something the prince fixes later on in the end when the king is dethroned.

@@AbbieEmmons Is there a profile for plae/setting you would recommend. I'm struggling and I don't like the ones that come with programs.

Why be so conflicted over whether the idea of a "soft," girly girl could work? Sure, it can-ever heard of the term "pretty poison"? Have her lure her prey to their deaths by way of food and drink, then poison them, probably via some deadly form of flower extract to complete the "pretty" motif. Overt kindness covering covert cold-bloodedness is truly chilling, and potent, so writing such a character is MORE than intriguing to me. Having her being a poisoner would fit her as also a spy and assassin, and if so, who is she doing this for? What are her loyalties and how was she trained? How much remorse does she feel? The tension and mistrust betwixt her and whoever her love interest is start to write themselves. A strong female character need not know martial arts nor have great physical strength to have power, folks; why beat them up when you know how to manipulate them? A poisoner and manipulator whilst appearing classically feminine would be a GREAT complement. What if she's killed someone he seeks to avenge, and they're falling for each other? Or she realizes she has to kill either him, or someone he holds dear? What if she has to comfort him after she's murdered his mother, say, and now he's cursing out poisoners in particular as incorrigible cowards whilst swearing vengeance on whoever did this? There's no easy resolution, is there?

FOR REAL

Prince thinks he's unworthy and goes on a quest to reach a magical wish granting device that will make him a better person -worthy of being a Prince. In his AHA moment he realises that whatver he was seeking, he already has or has earned during the epic quest, BUT not before sacrifing his wish of being king to save the assassin who in turn had sacrificed herself as a result of her AHA moment as she tries to prove herself to the prince.

I am a fantasy lover...I do not enjoy contemporary as a genre. But on principle I felt like I had to vet Abbie and I consumed her book 100 days of sunlight in a night (I stayed up all night to read it too!!). Just wanted to message....

I'm good at writing this way but it's definitely out of my comfort zone.

It’s so cute she didn’t wanna kill the dragon And the story is so cliché it’s good. But that was a pretty amazing first run at it. Well done!

Just thought of something that might give the story a bit of a twist. Maybe the prince finds out that the dragon is really his mother? The king had his wife banished for some reason, and got a wizard to cast a spell on her. Maybe, fantasy isn't really my forte, but thought that might be an intriguing plot twist.

But you will always find different tastes even among people who like the same constituate ingrediants, each will have a prefered way of preparing and developing the dish - there is no one perfection, there are many perfections, its all individual (and of course this even varies by time and age, and experiences, other factors can influence what a person would love the most at that particular moment - it's vastly more wonderous than just one!)

One of them has their identity undercover for which ever reason and they later come to realise that they come from opposing family lines or species that cant be together but its too late cause they've already fallen in love.

This is such a unique way to write a novel. I guess everyone has their own perspective and like you said, everyone has their own ingredient that will comprise their story. Thanks for creating this template. Kudos!

Ok but how does Abbie make this look so easy😅😭 Thank you for this Abbie, this actually helped me come up with some more ideas for my own story that I'm outline right now! Would love to see this as a series - either (AKA BOTH) doing more polls that you turn into outlines or seeing this one through and showing us your process for taking an idea to outline to writing to editing to cover design + book naming to publishing. That would be SO cool, I would watch the heck out of that series!! P.S. If you actually write this book I would devour it SO FAST😍🤤

These are such great ideas! Thank you for watching, I'm so glad you were inspired by this video. I'm definitely going to do more writing challenges like this one and develop this WIP more as well! 😍 if you want to stay in the loop as I work on this novel, you can join the waitlist here: abbieemmons.ck.page/5eeb91bd0f

OMG, I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

I love this concept!

Hey Abbie. I think this is going to be one of my most favorite videos from you. Great work! Thank you so much! 🍀

Best and most useful video that you have made!

I love listening to her videos while I work, her voice is so calming idk why

This video gave me so much inspiration to write my comfort book so now I know what I will be working on for the next few months! Thank you so much for the awesome video Abbie! 😁

This comment brightened my day! Thank you so much! 🤩

Omg this was soooo much fun! PLEASE do another one 😁

Now I neeeed the finished novel. Also those earrings are so pretty! 💕💕

Wonderful! Perhaps your best video in a while. Lovely & helpful as always! :)

Watching to see if there's a better way to outline than what I've been using. Didn't expect so much information 😊 My first novel has a lot of these so I'm pretty happy.

Looking so beautiful Abbie Excited to see how this story goes

This reminds me a lot of polls that I conducted years ago in a homebrew D&D forum to vote up an entire campaign setting. The results of the polls were very interesting, not what we expected, and not what we would have always chosen on our own. But it was great learning experience, and I'm still proud of our results. It took us over two years to publish, but we did complete it eventually.

The intro was on point 😂❤

I really love the contemporary genre where there is a loving family who brings out hope and inspires people.

This is so awesome and I love the fact that Abbie says to create your own ideal book cause by all popular votes I know I would've chosen the least popular. Every story is uniquely perfect for each individual writer. 💙

Well said!! 🙌

This was great! And honestly, the issue of not having time to flush it out meant that inevitably decisions were made where I was like "no, not that!" which just triggers my own creativity. Sometimes seeing what you don't want to happen works even better to show you what you would like to see in your own stories. I've had entire story plotline formulate in my mind based off the times I don't like what happened with a character in someone else's story. Thank you for the brainstorming inspiration!

I truly needed this video so much. Thank you for getting me excited to write again ❤

Hey Abby! This was great. So much fun and learning. It was really beneficial to see how your mind works while outlining a book. Even if this was just you playing around and having fun. Thanks!

Love this video!! And you should do more writing challenges like this, because it's one of my favorite videos to watch about writing. And I think you did a good job with this challenge. And the ingredients that will make my ultimate comfort book are, a fantasy setting, with characters who don't know each other or hate each other but they have to put their differences aside because they have to team up to defeat or solve a threat that they all have in common, enemies to friends' relationships, dysfunctional families and the sunshine boy/grumpy girl.
