StellaKMary

Karen had the honor of interviewing an amazing author, StellaKMary. She is the author of several books on Wattpad including The Elf King and I, Just Us, Darkness & Light and several more.

My name is Karen and I'm from the Crazy Late Nighters Community. What is the name or pen name that you would like to be called?

Hello Karen (if you don't me addressing you like this) and you can call me Stella for my pen name/username is "stellamaria77"

You can call me Karen, and it is very nice to meet you Stella. You were nominated by eroticfictionauthor They nominated you because and I quote "Obviously, she is amazing and I love her innocence" It's wonderful how much your readers love you. When did you first start writing and what made you want to write?

Thank you. It is nice to meet you , too. I'm glad to have a reader who loves me and my works. Ok so to answer your question I don't remember the exact year when I first started writing, however, I think it should be around seven years ago. I wrote a short story to participate in an eco-fiction contest. Though I didn't win any prize, it somehow made me realize that writing could make me feel so relaxed. Therefore, in the same year, I wrote a few more short stories in my free time and posted them on my blog. But then I lost motivation and stopped writing for a while until the end of 2019.

Wow, you've been writing for some time then. It is great to hear that you found motivation to write again after losing it. I'm sure your followers are happy about that too. What makes your writing different from others?

To be honest, after reading some good novels in both print and on Wattpad, I feel mine is lacking in so many ways. However, I believe we all have a different style in writings so I should give my own works some encouragement. As for what makes my writing different from others, I really can't say it. I will let my readers decide.

Just by the reads and votes, I can tell that the readers really enjoy your stories. I can only hope that my own writing can someday reach those numbers. You should be very proud of yourself. Do you have a writing and updating schedule?

Thank you. It is just by luck that my books reach those numbers, and I thank all my readers for their support. About the updating schedule, I have tried to set up a definite schedule for each of my stories but to no avail. So, for now, I'll just update whatever story that comes up on my mind.

I understand. Life can get busy and finding an updating schedule can cause a lot of pressure too. Is there anything special that you do when writing?

I don't have a special to write for I can write anywhere: on my bed, in the car (on the passenger seat, not the driver seat. haha), in the cafe and more. For music, sometimes I listen to it while writing whereas sometimes I don't; it depends on my mood.

Writing in the car must be nice. I will have to try it one day (also while not driving lol). How many books have you written so far, and which one is your favorite?

I haven't really counted it, but according to Wattpad, I should have around 10+ books, and 5 out of those are completed. And I like all my works, to be honest, (hope I don't sound narcissistic. lol) so I can't choose just one. They all are written in different genres.

It is amazing that you have written that many books, and no you don't sound narcissistic at all. Writing takes a lot of work and you should like all of your work. How do you come up with characters for your stories and do you relate to any of them?

I honestly have to idea. Some characters and plots are inspired by people and settings surrounding me. However, some are non-related at all. They just pop up inside my head.
