Goodbye for Now

First off, I'm sorry I didn't get a post out last week!

It's been a crazy few weeks - or, rather, months. And it's not gonna get any better. I'm finishing up high school in the next two weeks, leaving for college in a few months, trying to balance a sometimes-frustrating job, and working to get Like a Warrior ready to go into the world. (a few months later than intended, sadly. But I want to do this right, so I'm willing to wait a little longer)

And, so, for right now, I'm going to have to step back from blogging.

This isn't permanent. This is just me trying to focus on my priorities and do what God wants me to do.

Goodbye for now, y'all. Without worrying about publishing posts myself, hopefully I can be more active with reading and commenting on other blogs. And, if all goes as planned, I'll be back later ready to go full-steam-ahead with launch plans for LAW.

Thank everyone one of you so much - for reading, commenting, encouraging me. I love you all, and God bless.

Love,

Abby Elissa

  10. Oh my dear, sweet email friend that I've never personally met, YOU ROCK for realizing your boundaries !!! THAT would explain why I haven't heard from you in a few months. I'm sorry I was so late seeing this!! Praying for grace for you as you continue to jump through all your hurdles, and that you'd be able to accomplish everything that you have set out to do!
    You don't really know me at all (and vice versa) but I have grown to admire and LOVE you, and I hope that maybe......maybe?..... we'll be able to "connect" more in the future :)
    I can't wait to read LAW ;)

Like a Warrior: Update

I promised an update for my novel, Like a Warrior  - and here it is!!! * * * I finally have a timeline and roadmap for publication!!!!!! To all of my beta readers, who signed up months ago and have put up with all of my shifting timelines and long messages - thank you!!! You can expect your e-copy of LAW on or before February 19th! After that, I'll sort through beta feedback, make my revisions, send it off to an editor, and then . . .  It'll be time for a cover reveal! I'm aiming to do the cover reveal in early May, and I'll put more information about that out closer to time. After that - blog tour! I'm planning to run the blog tour from June 11th-18th.  And then, on June 18th - Publish my novel!!!! 💙 I know that's nearly five months from now, but, trust me, I have a LOT of work to do. 😂 Not only on revisions, but with publicity and marketing and such. And putting a hard date out there for the world to see . . . scares me. But it also gives me a lot  more acco

Fonts & Titles: Book Cover Design Crash Course - Part 1

Welcome to day one in my new three-part series!  For three Tuesdays in a row, I want to share some tips about the incredible art of designing book covers. I've spent hours and hours researching, observing, critiquing, experimenting with, stressing over, and having fun with book cover design. And I'm still not tired of it. Matter of fact, I spent hours yesterday making sample covers for this blog post, knowing full and well that there wasn't even a story to go with any of them. However, for a lot of y'all, stressing for hours over the perfect book cover probably  isn't  your idea of fun.  But that doesn't mean you get to skip doing it. I know that a lot of people will tell you that you should always  hire a professional to create your cover. And I'm not saying that isn't a good idea.  But I know that professional book covers are expensive, and that a lot of indie authors don't have a couple hundred dollars lying around to buy one. So, hopefully, I can

7 Days of Hope - Blog Tour

 Hey, y'all!  Short post today, but I had something I wanted to share with y'all! 💙      My amazing friend SawyerMarie had an idea...and we worked together on it until it turned into something awesome: a week-long blog tour!

We have five wonderful bloggers who are helping us with this (listed below).     Are y'all looking forward to this? I know I am! Blog Tour Stops!
