We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Abbie Cole a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Abbie, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What sort of legacy are you hoping to build. What do you think people will say about you after you are gone, what do you hope to be remembered for?

A legacy of light. Telling stories that amplify light, uplift, and inspire, while weaving epic tales of the battle between light and darkness.

Abbie, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a storyteller. As far as I can remember, I have always loved stories. Since the first time I picked up a pencil, I’ve been writing. Telling stories through different media has always been my dream. Whether it’s through a book, painting, music, or film, my passion lies in stories. I’ve read and watched countless stories in my endeavor to sharpen my craft, and I want to give back to my community by telling tales that uplift, encourage, bring light, and truth to the entertainment world. Fantasy, Sci-Fi, or historical fiction are genres that often lack gospel centered truths. These are the stories I write, a classic style with a modern twist. You can’t have a great story if where, when, who, or what doesn’t have a great moral or message. Stories are meant to be shared. As a storyteller, it is my duty to weave tales that inspire others to be light.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most important thing about being a creative artist is bringing light to someone. Whether it’s telling an uplifting tale, sharing an inspiring song, or painting, there is always something that can brighten someone’s day.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

The entertainment business is always changing. You have to be constantly thinking of current trends while also keeping in mind what future audiences might want. Storytelling is a very much a long-term mindset. The story you are writing now may appeal to audiences in the moment, but what about in two years when you publish that story? Will it still appeal then? These are some of the many questions you have to consider when writing a story. It’s challenging to be thinking two or three years in advance, along with the countless hours you pour into a story, it can be overwhelming to new writers. I have been blessed with mentors who have walked this path before me and have taught me the ways.
