It's an everyday grind to keep going and never give up.</i></span></p><p><i><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></i></p><p><i><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></i></p><p><span color="inherit" style="font-family: times; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Q: What do you expect for every woman who has read this book?</span></p><p><span color="inherit" style="font-family: times; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;"><span color="inherit" face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">L: </span><span color="inherit" face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><i>I hope that all women who read our book take away something from this book.</i></span></span></p><p><span color="inherit" style="font-family: times; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><span color="inherit" style="font-family: times; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><span style="font-family: times;">Q: How could people find or contact you if they will need your service?</span></span></p><p><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">L: </span><span style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><i>I am on FB, IG, and Linkedin as <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/latrina-caldwell-61743976/" target="_blank">Latrina Caldwell.</a> My Website is <a href="https://www.c2ccoaching.org/" target="_blank">c2ccoaching.org</a> and <span _msthash="397566" _mstmutation="1" _msttexthash="408070"><a href="https://myselfcarestore.com/" target="_blank">myselfcarestore.com</a></span>.

has beautiful, soft purple centers with deep taproots that can shoot through
concrete and survive drought. Symbolically, the same is true of our women
who've gone through trauma: Beauty and strength underlie their trauma and past
baggage. The resilience, vibrancy, and healing qualities of the thistle
parallel the survival and flourishing of women survivors.***</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">A LINK for PRE-ORDER BOOK WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-small;">Published, Sunday, February 21, 2021</span></i></p>Fida Abbotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09687955868029155953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433625187945487818.post-39971334094448470882021-01-27T12:12:00.004-05:002021-01-27T12:13:49.102-05:00Fida Abbott's Collaborative Book will be Coming Soon<center>Hello everyone!</center><center><br /></center><center>Even though we are facing pandemic now, we still hope this year will be full of blessings.

She pursues her dream to write a book. All the while, taking the reader on an adventure, navigating through her obstacles with precision. The fact that the author was raised in Indonesia, and wrote this book in English, is a perk. The words sometimes give the reader the feeling she writes English as she would speak it, with a hint that she is educated in another language. I enjoyed her inclusion that shows her proficiency in a professional position in a writing course in Indonesia. Her recollections of her childhood were very moving. I was impressed by her cooking of delectable Asian/Indonesian meals, entertaining, tending to her beautiful garden, teaching her daughter the skills of life, and being a loving wife, while possessing a certain independence. This book illustrates what a person can accomplish with dedication and hard work, drive and strong will. I read the book twice. Fida Abbott is a compassionate, kind, exuberant and intelligent person. I am fortunate enough to know her personally. She is a member of my church. She greets everyone with a sparkle in her eye and “Enthusiasm”.

We would like to share our short special interview with him.<br />
<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Q: As photography is your hobby and career, what the best shot or photo do you like most and what is its reason?</span><br />
A: I think I have taken a lot of "my best" photos. I certainly would have to list my photo Dragonfly on Water Lily as one of my favorites, but I have so many favorites.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Q: What is your goal and plan in the photography field in the near future?</span><br />
A: My goal is to reach more and more people. I'll do that by attending more shows and entering more contests. I feel I also need to take more shots of people, and street people. So, if you see me on the street, around where you live, it might be me. I also need to hire an apprentice. He or she can help me reach a wider audience, and I can share my knowledge. We will participate in school contest, take yearbook pictures and photos around their campus.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Q: If there is someone would need your expertise in photography, how can he/she contact you?</span><br />
A: I want to make myself available to most individuals. At the same time, I'll need to make a list of photos I want to take. Photos to fill my portfolio. Photos of mountains, valleys, the beach, sunsets, storms, and macro.<br />
<br />

Cox lives in Coatesville, PA. He is a member of The National Press Photographers Association and National Collegiate Honor Society. He grew up on a farm in Honey Brook, PA.

Out of nowhere a person driving a car swerved into his lane of traffic and hit him head-on. This person was distracted. They were reaching behind the driver’s seat to grab a bottle that had been thrown by one of the babies in the back seat. Hindsight the person should have pulled the car on to the side of the road to fix the problem. Thank Goodness he was wearing a helmet. He coded 4 times in the first 24 hours.</span></div>

Abbott’s voice is conversational and informative, and reading her book felt a lot like having her directly interacting with me as I read. I loved the supernatural aspect of The Rent House which was inspired by her own experiences with a haunted house. In Makeup Makeover, the reader is immersed in the world of a preteen whose first experiment with makeup transforms her into Elsa, the Snow Queen from Frozen. Abbott also includes a worksheet for creating and categorizing your story ideas and a chapter entitled Ten Guides to Plot a Short Story that analyzes in detail a short story from her collection.

Wonderfully written, it is like a peep into someone's life, warts and all. She is not afraid of writing it as it is, and doesn't sugar coat anything. The fact that English isn't her first language makes the book more personal and readable, and her descriptions of everyday matters are stunningly brought to life with her informal writing style.

<b>Fida Abbott:</b> Exploring My Ideas is comprised of ten evocative short stories that were crafted from my personal experiences and observations. Every short story is followed by my explanation how I developed an idea and wrote it into a short story. This book includes a simple and practical guide on how to explore and compose ideas into short stories, as well as publishing tips. This book not only gives readers easy steps to build a story from their point of view, but it also brings the readers’ imaginations to life. The readers will think, learn, practice, and be entertained by short stories about psychology, crime, relationship, family, horror, and others. Exploring My Ideas is an ideal book for those who love literary collection and all writers who write as a hobby or a necessity, especially for beginning aspiring writers.</div>

<b>Fida Abbott:</b> As an independent author, it means a lot. By winning an award, my book will get more exposure and is recognized among other book award winners. It shows that I have created a good quality content for my book. This gives me more confident to spread about my book and it becomes part of my journey in the writing world to achieve more challenges and successes.</div>

<b>Fida Abbott:</b> Honestly, to be an independent author I do a lot of work from publishing to marketing, but I gain a lot of knowledge and experience. This sharpens my skills in the publishing world. What I need to remember is that I have to be ready to lose money for book marketing. For me it is an investment for the future if I want to pursue a career as an author. As long as under my budget, I will fly away to take this opportunity to learn a lot as a self-published author. I might not get profit from publishing my books, but my name and my accomplishment get recognized, and it contributes the success to other significant fields, especially in contributing outstanding resume as an author, director for an online media and online writing workshop, language instructor, interpreter, and public speaker. It means as an independent author, I can also contribute profits to other significant fields that I have interest in.</div>

<b>Fida Abbott:</b> I have been a blogger since on February 10, 2006. I also wrote to several online medias. Many people like my writings and I received many positive messages and comments, so these inspired me to write a book. I am happy I did it. I began to write an easy and simple eBook. My daughter inspired me to write this eBook entitled <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/fida-abbott/what-prayers-does-mommy-teach-me/ebook/product-3925313.html" style="color: #4b83b0; outline: none !important; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 250ms; transition-property: color, background-color, opacity, border; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;"><em>What Prayers Does Mommy Teach Me?</em></a> I didn’t use professional help for this book. I created it using Lulu.com service and began to learn how to publish in the USA. From there I grew. I kept writing another eBook/book and another book till one day, I told my husband “It’s the time I write a novel and will use professional help.” This journey sinks me to be a real author with the same status as a self-published author. I dug more and more learning in the publishing world in the USA, how to market, and how to build network and use many tools in the virtual world. Here, I am now with a status: An Award-Winning Author. The long journey to achieve this, makes me deeply understand what the real thing to become an author.</div>

<b>Fida Abbott:</b> Every book I wrote, came from an idea or inspiration. The idea or inspiration pushed me to write my books. As I composed my idea into my writing and I publish it to become a book, I always hope that my book will bring blessing to readers. This strengthen me to keep writing and publishing. Besides that, my expectation is to bring my books to become a blessing to the community where I live, as I used to donate my books in a beautiful basket for fundraiser events or sending my books to the remote areas, especially in Indonesia which my book, <a href="https://www.xlibris.com/bookstore/bookdetail.aspx?bookid=SKU-0065228050" style="color: #4b83b0; outline: none !important; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 250ms; transition-property: color, background-color, opacity, border; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;"><em>Enthusiasm</em></a> was published in Indonesia by an Indonesian traditional publisher, <a href="http://www.penerbitbinakasih.com/213-buku-antusiasme.html" style="color: #4b83b0; outline: none !important; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 250ms; transition-property: color, background-color, opacity, border; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;">Yayasan Komunikasi Bina Kasih (YKBK)</a>.</div>

I had strange experience during and after writing this book, including after I published it. I had very strong desire to write this book that I could not handle it. I felt a spirit had lived in my soul. If I began to slow down, I felt something whip me. I had to keep writing even though it was very late toward morning when the idea in my mind was full and it needed to be written. When it was published, one by one the door opens for me although not all of them succeed, but I could see the path that brought me to the brighter future. I was right. My book won an award, and then it was picked by an Indonesia traditional publisher and two years later my book was published in Indonesia. Eight months later after my book published in Indonesia, my brother passed away, and two months later after that, my father passed away. You can’t imagine how I felt at that time, even I could not describe it. They were in Indonesia and I was in the USA. One thing that I thank God was I knew they both had done reading my book, <em><a href="http://www.penerbitbinakasih.com/213-buku-antusiasme.html" style="color: #4b83b0; outline: none !important; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 250ms; transition-property: color, background-color, opacity, border; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;">Antusiasme</a></em> (<a href="https://www.xlibris.com/bookstore/bookdetail.aspx?bookid=SKU-0065228050" style="color: #4b83b0; outline: none !important; text-decoration-line: none; transition-duration: 250ms; transition-property: color, background-color, opacity, border; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;"><em>Enthusiasm</em></a> in English). After that I knew why my desire was very strong at the time when I wrote it. It seemed God tried to communicate with me through that situation before they both passed away, so they had a chance to read “my first published book”.</div>

<b>Fida Abbott:</b> To become a writer, it will be a long journey. None of the famous writers went through instantly. It will need determination. So, start small and keep writing. Do not forget to read, read, and read. Do not let anyone discourage you and do not shy to show your writing to the world. Write from your heart and do not plan on making a lot of money from your writing but seek out constructive feedback on your work. Always take opportunity to participate in the writing contest, writing workshop or other activities that is relevant with your writing needs. While you do those all, build your network.</div>

<i>"</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #282828; font-family: "raleway" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><i>The author was pretty impressive writing about her story. She is very talented for someone who can read and write two different languages than writing her story like a diary. This book inspired and motivated me to want to learn a second language, more than I did the first time. It's not as easy as it looks. I think you guys should read this book. It might start out slow, but it picks up in the middle."</i> </span><b style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010490258731" target="_blank">Van Elaine Degan</a></b><br />

Abbott uses her talent to teach readers about publishing short stories while adding their own story about how they got to the point of being published. Ten short stories about psychology, crime, relationship, family, horror, and others, and author commentaries from a multicultural population is a somewhat unique approach to this type of project that only adds insight to the efforts of readers who will benefit from the lessons learned. </span><i style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-weight: 400;">Exploring My Ideas</i><span style="color: #111111; font-weight: 400;"> is an ideal book for those who love literary collection and all writers who write as a hobby or a necessity, especially for beginning-aspiring writers.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-weight: 400;" /><b style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111;">About the Author</b><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="color: #111111; font-weight: 400;">Fida Abbott is an award-winning author.
