Interview With Author Stella Dee

I knew I was a writer since I was 14 years old, as I used to sit in class at school and write poetry and write short stories.

My English teacher told me I was a born to write and that I should continue with this as my career.  I wrote my first love story when I was 19 years old.

No, I inspire myself.

Q03 – What is your dream goal for your writing?

To tell my stories that I have had hidden away in my mind, like a vault, for years and hope to get the attention of the reader and take them on a journey into my world.

Q04 – What is the title (or working title) of your current manuscript and can you tell us a little bit about it?

LIVING AMONG GHOSTS is my first book, a nonfiction paranormal story based on my real-life growing up and my current story is fiction.

An erotica romance thriller in the progress of being edited with no title as of yet.

Q05 – How long have you been working on this manuscript?

Since July of 2017

Q06 – Do you plan your stories or just leap into the writing?

I have had some for years in my mind waiting to be released into a book and while others come to me in the middle of the night, while I am in bed and almost dozing off to sleep, when I suddenly awaken with a new story to write.

Q07 – Do you have a writing routine?

No, not all the time, I write when the mood hits me and when it does I put aside at least two hours a day to write and finish the story.

Q08 – What is the hardest part of the writing process for you?

Letting it go to the editor because it is my baby.

Q09 – What are your thoughts on Self Publishing vs Traditional Publishing?

I love self-publishing, it gives me more freedom to choose my covers and I have control of my own work.

I could never do traditional publishing as I hate the thought of them taking my writing and giving it to someone to control my work.

Q10 – What is the single best piece of advice you could give to new writers?

Do not let anyone take away your dreams of being a writer.  If you know in your heart that is your true purpose here on earth, then “write” to your heart’s content.

Q11 – Are there any authors you would love to meet in person?

YES, Daniel Brito who is my editor and has written his own book.

Q12 – Tells us why you love writing?

Well if you are a writer you should already know this answer, because we are born to write and tell stories, and it is our passion.
