About Me

My photo
London
I’m Stella, Author & Publisher of 40 Flirty & Feisty Romance Novels. I’ve been married to my too-hot-to-handle, sexy husband for over 23 years, we have two adult children to God’s glory and live in London, UK. My romance stories feature sexy heroes who have hearts and souls and curvy heroines who are smart and know what they want. My lively, flawed characters who on their quest to find love will elevate your pulse rate, make your heart skip here & there, so that you’ll laugh, shed a tear sometimes and gasp for breath as their story unfolds. If an emotionally intense happy-ever-after is what you want coupled with a sprinkling of life lessons, turn to chapter one now & start reading. When I'm not writing, I'm having a laugh watching movies with my honey-boo, swimming like a star fish, or on mom duties with my grown-ups, or praising God in my own corner of the world. I dare you to read any or all of my steamy romance stories. I’ll love to hear from you.

#Writingtips for Aspring #Authors #Writers #indie


 



 





Dear Aspiring Authors & Writers,

Welcome to my series on motivating new romance authors to get writing.


When I asked her why she thinks I could do it, she said, Stella you have published 3  romance stories already in 2018 and you have just completed writing a fourth one! So you should tell us how you motivate yourself to write so fast.




  

 All my books are available on Amazon, Okada Books, Smashwords, Draft2Digital & other retailers.


Just so you know, even though I have written and published 22 novels so far, I have no formal knowledge of creative writing. I did not take any online course to learn how to plot my stories or how to make it fast paced or anything like that.

So, I bet you are wondering how I published so many books.

Well, my answer is simple. Believe it or not, I get my ideas and inspiration from the greatest Author himself, God Almighty. True fact. HE helps me every step of the way.

The character dialogues, plot and every single word I type in my romance stories just flows from my inside. That's right. That's why I say it can only be God.

However, there are tips I have picked up over the years from different sources that have been helpful. Also, there are things I do to help myself write. I will share them with you as we go along.

This first post is just to inform you about my intention to be open about my behind the scenes stuff from writing to publishing my books.

Amaka has suggested a few topics I should write on. If you are an aspiring romance writer, you have to come back to my blog every week to find helpful tips.

I will share my experience and most importantly, I hope I will motivate you to write that story in your heart or in your head.

My next post will be, Staying Motivated to Write

Yesterday I started doing some research on a Christmas romance story I have to write because my readers want a story to light up their Christmas season.
 
I started choosing the character names and more. It's an exciting experience and I love it. I will share more details with you over this weekend. Check back.
 
I will tell you all about it in my next post on Tuesday by God's grace.
 
If you are an aspiring author and you struggle with any aspect of writing or publishing, ask me your question and I will answer as best as I can.

Writing a Romance Story: 9 More Things to Keep in Mind - Part 2 #ASMSG


Two weeks ago, I blogged about 8 Things to Keep in Mind When Writing a New Romance Story .


Today, I'm concluding the post with 9 additional things to consider as you write your first romance novel.


Remember, this post is for upcoming and new writers.

 


In a nutshell, here are 9 tips to keep in mind when writing your story:





 9. NOVEL LENGTH: Don’t worry about the length of your novel. You can start with novellas (short length novels).


I have two short length novels: My Steamy Novella, Forbidden Dance is 28,860 words and my Tender Novella, Wild Whispers is only 18,410 words. My longest novel, Tempting Desire ~ A Body Tingling Romance is 69,720 words.



10. SECONDARY CHARACTERS: Of course, throw in other characters as you go along but not too many on the same page to confuse the reader. Introduce a character and give readers opportunity to ‘meet’ them. Only add secondary characters who add meaning to your story.


 
11. ROMANCE: Weave romantic tension from the start around the conflict. It could be eye contact, a touch, a smile or a wink between your lead characters.





All Flirty & Feisty Romance Novels have romantic tension woven into the conflict of my stories to give the reader an intense emotional experience.


12. TWISTS: Don’t forget to throw in twists & turns to add a bit of zest to your story. How you do this is entirely up to you. It is what differentiates one author from another. Find your own writing style and voice.



13. FEEDBACK: Get someone you trust to read your story just to give you general feedback on your characters, story line etc. 



14. PROOF READING: Above all, get your book proof read and edited by someone who is skilled, not necessarily at a high cost. You could swap stories with an author you admire and get them to edit for you. Readers demand a story with fewer mistakes.



15. BOOK COVER: Don’t forget to get an attractive book cover, it is the first thing that interests readers. My cover designer, Maria Lazarou of Obsessed by Books Design creates attractive book covers and promo materials at super affordable prices.

16. CHALLENGES: Believe me, as an indie author I have experienced my fair share of challenges but if you keep writing and you are not afraid to receive criticisms, you will stand the test of time.


17. PROMOTE: Remember, if you WRITE and you don’t PROMOTE your book, no reader will know you wrote a book. There are millions of books out there, so start promoting your work!


In my next post, I will share my experience on ways to promote your work for free. Keep visiting my blog.
