Author Interview - M.D. LaBelle

What is your writing process like?

I often have a dream and a story just flows from me. I make a cover, then I work up a blurb and write the first chapter. Often I just sit down and it flows from my fingers.

How do you come up with ideas for stories and characters?

It comes mostly to me from dreams but sometimes I can listen to a song or see a picture that affects me so much an idea hits me.

What do the words “writer’s block” mean to you?

I don't know because I have never had it.

How do you process and deal with negative book reviews?

It upsets me of course, but you must take the good with the bad. The reviews are not for us but for potential customers.

What is the most challenging part of your writing process?

I would have to say that it is keeping on task because I have four children at home right now and it can be challenging.

Never give up.

How do you develop your plot and characters?

It just kind of comes to me. I honestly don't put too much thought into it.

40. One is Lusting After Mr. Knight

When I killed off characters.

What inspired the idea for your book?

A dream of course.

What was your hardest scene to write, and why?

The funeral of her friend because I usually put myself in the place of the character.

What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?

Quiet.

Dean Koontz
