About

Hey! I'm Abby Elissa!

First off, let me say how much I dislike writing things about myself like this...but here goes nothing (and how hard can a list be?).

• Jesus is everything I need.
• I'm a teenaged girl and I've been homeschooled my whole life.
• I've been dreaming up stories for nearly as long as I can remember, though they've - thankfully - grown in depth since those first ones...
• I read a whole lot of genres and I can't honestly say I have a favorite.
• I'm a nerd in many different ways - grammar (expect me to correct your mistakes or to cringe if you leave out the Oxford comma 😁), math, history, science, literature, and useless facts. And I even have nerd glasses.
• I started drinking coffee earlier this year, and now I have strong opinions on it. I drink it hot and black. Like John Wayne.
• I spend way too much time stressing over font choices...so many options, but only one will be perfect!
• I love graphic design! I've made a few book covers for friends, and I make graphics for our church regularly.
• Whoever said not to judge a book by its cover better have been talking symbolically. I judge nearly every book by its cover, and I'm not ashamed of that. 😁
• I'm a perfectionist all the way! And I'm proud of it.
• I'm an INTJ, but, no, that doesn't mean that I lack emotions or that I actually plot ways to take over the world. 😂 (Used to think I was an INFJ, then realized that I was typed wrong, and . . . it's a long story.)
• I love all kinds of animals, especially horses. And lizards. Lizards are just amazing. Especially Komodo Dragons.
• I love the first-person POV - a story told in first-person has an automatic advantage in my mind.
• I overuse ellipses...and the word "y'all" (and parentheses).

I'm glad to meet y'all! What do we have in common? What's completely different about us?

Photo Dump!

Hey, y'all! I'm back!      So, I know I've been gone for almost two weeks, but that's because I was on vacation. And then I was recuperating from vacation. 😊 I'll include some pictures down below, but, in short...it was awesome. We went to the Southwest and visited four different states. And now I'm in love with Arizona...💙 💙     Also - exciting news! I finished the first read-through of my novel, and it shouldn't need too much work before I send it to my alpha readers! That'll be so nerve-racking and exciting at the same time. 😬 I'm hoping I can send it out by the end of the week! 😁     (Side note - I'm planning to start on those character interviews tomorrow, so let me know if you have any more questions for my characters!)     And, now, onto the photos! Nevada California The really neat thing about the Pacific Ocean is that these mountains (or big rocky hills, whatever you want to call them 😃 ) are just on the other side of the road ...

Indie Author Spotlight: Ellen Senechal

Welcome to another Indie Author Spotlight! Today, we'll have a Q&A with my blogger friend Ellen Senechal, followed by an excerpt from her devotional. About the Author Ellen is the author of  The Whispers God Gives , a beautiful 30-day devotional for tween and teen girls! Here's her official author bio. :D Ellen Senechal is a teenaged extrovert who enjoys writing, reading, cuddling with babies, spending time outdoors, and eating tacos. She is a big sister in a family of eleven and a follower of Jesus. To say Ellen is slightly obsessed with music is an understatement. You'll rarely find her writing or reading without something or other playing on the radio. Pink and green are her favorite colors, new books are her weakness, and JESUS IS HER JOY. <3 You can connect with Ellen on her blog, Ellen's Musings . Now, ready for a Q&A? Q&A What first inspired you to start writing? Oh, my. I’m not sure if there was any one thing that inspired me. I’ve loved to write ...

Indie Author Review: Ellen Senechal

Welcome to part two of the Indie Author Spotlight! Today, I'll be reviewing Ellen Senechal's 30-day devotional, The Whispers God Gives . Genre:  Tween/Teen Devotional Length:  79 pages  Back-Cover Blurb:  Hear God whisper as you read! Have you ever found yourself questioning God’s will for your life? Are you battling things nobody else seems to relate to? What about bitterness after losing a friend? Perhaps you’ve scoured the Internet and came up dry because you couldn’t find anything that spoke directly to your teen or pre-teen heart. If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this book is for you. In The Whispers God Gives, teenaged author Ellen Senechal speaks from her heart and from God’s Word. She longs to share what she couldn’t find no matter how hard she looked – a clean, wholesome Christian devotional that’s short, sweet, and to the point. A book centered around strengthening your relationship with God your Savior, Counselor, and Friend in thirty days....
