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?

    Nice to learn more about you, though I knew most of this already. :-) You ought to ask Mrs. Marlow if she'll put your blog on her sidebar, that away more people can find your blog.

Character #3: Hawke

  Welcome to our third character interview!!!  Today, I'm interviewing Hawke, Briannon's brother and — at times — Maverek's nemeses. Yep. Just leaving that right there. Here we go! Abby: Hey, Hawke! Thanks for letting me interview you! Hawke: Hello. *shifts in seat* Please tell me this isn't going to take too long? Abby: Nope, I'll keep it short! Hawke: *smiles* Short like Bree and Maverek's? Abby: Fine. *rolls eyes* I'll keep yours even shorter, so long as you give me good answers to the questions I do ask. Hawke: Deal. Abby: What's your name mean? Hawke: You expect me to know? It's a bird. Just a bird. Abby: *smiles* Okay, we'll go with that. Theme song? Hawke: "Til the Day I Die" by TobyMac. Abby: Yeah, we're going to need to work on that . . . I feel like you have another theme song that you just don't want to share. Hawke: *cocks eyebrow and grins* Keeping this short, remember? We only have time for one theme song. Abby: Fi...

Character #2: Maverek // Blogging Schedule

 Hey! I haven't even posted since the blog tour (which was so much fun!), but I'm finally back with the next character interview and what I *hope* will be a blogging schedule I can keep up with! First off, the schedule: I'm going to try to post every Tuesday morning, with posts on Fridays sometimes. With school, writing, and life . . . who knows how often those Friday posts will come. Now, on to interviewing Maverek! He isn't overly thrilled about this, but he agreed to try. *sighs* Finally. Here goes! Abby: Hey, Maverek! I'm so glad you could come! Maverek: *smiles slightly* Only because you and Briannon begged me. Abby: Well, I appreciate it! I'll try to keep this shorter than Bree's. Maverek: Thank you. Abby: Okay, to start us off, what does your name mean? Maverek: In your time, it means "independent." I think that meaning was invented somewhat recently, though. Abby: I think so. But, hey, it fits you! Maybe too well. Maverek: I suppose it does...
