Ramona: Tell me more about your latest book!Fida Abbott: 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.Ramona: In August 2019, ‘Exploring My Ideas’ got Pinnacle Book Achievement Award from National Association of Book Entrepreneurs (NABE) for the category of Short Stories. What does this mean to you?Fida Abbott: 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.Ramona: What is it like to be an independent author?Fida Abbott: 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.Ramona: What motivated you to become an author?Fida Abbott: 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
What Prayers Does Mommy Teach Me?
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.Ramona: What brought you to write your books?Fida Abbott: 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,
Enthusiasm
was published in Indonesia by an Indonesian traditional publisher, Yayasan Komunikasi Bina Kasih (YKBK).Ramona: How many books have you written so far? Fida Abbott: My books are published by me, myself and by others including traditional publisher in Indonesia.Books/eBooks that I published myself and are still in the market:What Prayers Does Mommy Teach Me?, 2008Chaiku Poem Anthology, 2015 (second edition)Fabulous Leftover Turkey, 2009Tumpeng, An Authentic Indonesian Food, 2010Enthusiasm, 2010Exploring My Ideas, 2018Books/eBooks that are published by others including traditional publisher in IndonesiaTerhilang di Rumah Bapa (Indonesian, written by some Indonesia Christian bloggers), 2008Antusiasme (Indonesian), 2012Rahel Pergi ke Surga Sendiri, (Indonesian, written by some well-known Indonesia Christian authors), 2018Ramona: What book or books have had a strong influence on you or your writing?Fida Abbott: My book
Enthusiasm
had strong influence on me. 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,
Antusiasme
(
Enthusiasm
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”.Ramona: What is your advice for aspiring writers?Fida Abbott: 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.Visit Fida Abbott book links:Facebook Author Page: fb.me/theenthusiasmsaga; page message: m.me/theenthusiasmsagaAmazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/Fida-Abbott/e/B07PKV57DW/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0Weblog: http://www.abbottsbooks.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/fidaabbottGoodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4487023.Fida_R_Abbott?auto_login_attempted=true Auhtor’s Den: http://www.authorsden.com/visit/author.asp?id=126079BookLife: https://booklife.com/profile/fida-abbott-32010Reader’s Favorite: https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/exploring-my-ideasB&N: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/exploring-my-ideas-fida-abbott/1128885443?ean=9781984518422Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/exploring-my-ideasXlibris: https://www.xlibris.com/Bookstore/BookDetail.aspx?BookId=SKU-001178525

Short Book Review from Van Elaine Deegan: "Enthusiasm"
Van Elaine Deegan found book
Enthusiasm
at West Chester Public Library couple years ago. She had been interviewed and it's posted on this blog. Her short review about this book has been published on Xlibris.
"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." Van Elaine Degan
Thank you Van for your interest reading this book, being available to be interviewed, and writing a short review. Your support is greatly appreciated.
