Abigail Hing Wen was born in West Virginia and raised in Ohio as a child of immigrant parents, both of Chinese descent. She is the author of the bestselling YA novel Loveboat, Taipei. In this conversation, Abigail and I not only got into to process of how she wrote her wonderful book, but we connected on so many levels- as dancers, creative & intuitive thinkers, and musical lovers. We explored how she has felt the calling to write her whole life, the on-going balancing act of juggling her intensive jobs, writing career & family life, why she had to write her book in full four different times, how her MFA program created a community around writing, how we each define creative freedom, and so much more.
