Interview with Eichin Chang-Lim
Introduce yourself and tell me about what you do.
Short version: Dr. Eichin Chang-Lim earned her Doctorate in Optometry, a Master of Science in Microbiology, and a Master of Arts in Psychology. She is the mother of two grown-up children, a wife, a semi-retired optometrist, and a multi-award-winning author. The genres of her books include romantic fiction, short stories, memoirs, self-help, and educational nonfiction.
Chang-Lim’s books depict the intricacies of human relationships and the striving of the human spirit. Ultimately, they evolve into inspirational tales that readers will find multidimensional and thought-provoking.
When asked about her motivation to be a writer, she replied, “Every human being is valuable; every soul is unique and special. I write with my heart and soul. My mindset is that if my writing can make a difference in even one person’s life, it’s all worth it, and that’s what love is all about.”
Currently, she is collaborating with an international psychologist and educator, Dr. Lora Erickson, to write a three-book series, Talking about Adolescence.
Book 1: Anxiety, Depression, and Adolescent Mental Health is coming soon.
Besides writing, Eichin is also passionate about acting, photography, music, and dance acrobatics. She and her husband live in Orange County, California, with their poodle mix named Gabby.
Tell me more about your journey as an author, including the writing processes.
From her earliest years, Eichin was drawn to the captivating biographies of famous historical figures who had overcome arduous trials through the rich saga of their narratives, each thread woven with resilience and triumph. She also enjoyed reflecting on quotes that challenged her thinking and sparked her imagination, igniting her curiosity and providing intellectual stimulation.
Even in her formative years, when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she answered without hesitation: a writer. She wrote short stories and essays for youth publications and was thrilled when they got published during elementary school. That fueled her writer’s dream. But then, everything changed. In junior high, her confidence was shattered when all her submissions were rejected. Concurrently, her fascination with science emerged, guiding her toward academic exploration in the science and health fields.
Years later, as a practicing optometrist, Eichin realized that every patient had a unique story to tell. Their eyes were windows into their souls, reflecting their experiences and emotions. This awakening rekindled her latent passion for storytelling.
To Eichin, the mantle of an author transcends mere words on a page; it embodies a profound commitment to purposeful storytelling. “Writing is an art of meaningful sharing—of the writer’s thoughts, heart, and soul—with readers. It is also an exercise in attentive observation, a journey of curiosity and intensity,” she once articulated. With this unwavering philosophy, she embarks on a literary voyage, crafting tales that resonate with the essence of humanity.
