Abbi Adams Hi, Mr. Bond! It's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you as well :)
No worries about the response. I also apologize since I've been away from Goodreads for a while.
My writing is coming along nicely, thank you for asking. I hope yours is too! :D
Abbi Adams What happened to a lost piece of jewelry from years ago...? :)
Abbi Adams Hey, Niharika! I originally wrote The Pizza Shop Chronicles for an older teen audience, but I've found most of readers who enjoy the series are between 10 & 15, so I guess it's somewhere between YA & MG :) Thank you for asking!
Abbi Adams Writer's block is generally just me procrastinating about the next words, so I just sit down and start writing one word at a time until they flow again. Everyday. No procrastination.
Abbi Adams There are too many people bogging down newcomers to the industry with conflicting and oftentimes trivial bits of advice.
That said, my advice is that you define your own dreams and chase them until you catch them.
Abbi Adams Aside from hearing readers' reactions to my work, I think one of the very best things about being a writer is that it is yours to fall in love with every day, and it never seems to get old because there is always something new to discover about your stories or characters or worlds.
Abbi Adams Inspiration often finds me at random moments when I'm outdoors. Like a little voice suddenly popping out of nowhere and saying, "Look at this flower! Oh my goodness, what if there were people that grew these flowers in their hair? You've got to write this!"
Abbi Adams My most recent book, Elfboy, actually came from two sources:

The first was my desire to create a character that everyone would love (and it almost worked!)

The second was the name of my pet cockerel, Elfboy, a Silver Spangled Hamburg. It just seemed fitting for the title of a book.
