Fida Abbott's Books

Because of reading this book, Exploring My Ideas, I was challenged to make a resolution in 2019: writing a short story every month. This book reminded me of the story about the parable of talent. A master gives a talent to his servant with a hope that he will multiply that talent. Fida, the author of this book has published a collection of short stories she worked diligently for a period of time. She also gives tips on getting ideas and managing them into interesting writing. This book is suitable for writers who want to be productive. If you are the one, do you dare to accept the challenge of multiplying your writing talent? -- Yunita Phillips (Author for children and youth books, translator, and online writing instructor)

Authors like appreciations from their readers. It will give them more enthusiastic and energy to be more creative to write. Appreciation can be a comment, a review, or an input. It can be formal or non formal.
Thank you Viviana from Malaysia who wrote a very nice comment/statement on facebook along with this picture last January. She made me smile and I appreciate her support.

NEW YEAR, NEW BOOK!
What a better way to celebrate a new year by reading a new book! I am honored to give a book review for my long-time friend, Fida Abbott. We have been virtual friends since 2010, knowing her from her blog, I guess our friendship lasts long because we share similarities of being an immigrant, a housewife, love Internet and writing and value personal growth. Amid our busy life with family and work, we pursue our passion.
I was never a fan of fiction books. I prefer reading non-fiction books related to my work to gain information or knowledge. Fida encouraged me to read her short-stories. Her stories are sweet, amusing and juicy. Therefore I placed small mandarin oranges along with her book. Every short story is like a small orange which is sweet, fragrant, juicy and easy to digest. I enjoy reading her short stories like savoring fresh fruits.
What I learnt from reading her book:
- the message is memorable when it's conveyed in a story. There's wisdom in every short story.
- everyone is possible to create their own stories from everyday life events and observation and it doesn't have to be your story. It's amazing to see that Fida used the 3rd person to craft the stories.
- Tips, step-by-step guide and resources for those who aspire to write stories for fun or profits.
- Reading stories is good for right brain as they evoke sensation and emotion.
The book is available at amazon
