Interview with Sarah Lin
Tell us about your book.
Abigail’s Dream is about a girl named Abigail (Abby) who wants to be an astronaut when she grows up. She loves playing astronauts with her best friends, Izze and Cameron. Then, Abigail has the chance to go to space. But when she gets there, she has a hard time getting back.
Who is your favorite character in your book and why?
My favorite character in my book is Alicen (school bully) because she finds the courage to apologize to Abigail for what she did to her and even become her friend in the future.
What problems did you run into in your revision and how did you resolve them?
A problem that I ran into was that when I tried to do an adult’s dialogue, it turned out to be abnormal. I solved this problem by my mom explaining the difference between the reactions and dialogues of children and adults. Then, I tried my best to revise.
What is something that surprised you about revising?
Something that surprised me in my revision is that I didn’t know that I would have almost double the words after. Also, many scenes got much more detailed.
