Stephanie Dolce Not sure what algorithm you want me to discuss because they all are different. All social media platforms have different algorithms as does each dating app. Most of them though have same goals, but achieve them in different ways.
Stephanie Dolce That's a very interesting question! I'm not sure what book I would choose, but as I sit home and watch old TV shows, I would love to be part of the Golden Girls. I would definitely love to get stories from them and turn them into a novel.
Stephanie Dolce Once upon a time there was an ugly society filled with deviance. It made people question standards, morals and values.
Stephanie Dolce I start off every summer the same way since I read the following book in high school and just love kicking off each summer with inspiration.
" Gift from the Sea" is one of my ultimate favorite books.
I then have 2 YA novels to read; "Spoiled" and "Tell Me Three Things"
I will also read some business books and self improvement books.
Stephanie Dolce There are many mysteries that happen in life that could be used for a book. How people meet each other, is a prime example. Is it a coincidence or are people destined for each other? Does everything happen for a reason? If you dig deep, you can really write a plot from your own life. Some of my books that are written are taken from my life.
Stephanie Dolce The more you write and put yourself out there, especially on Amazon, the better your chances are to make money and to get yourself noticed.
There are many writers that I have networked with that have done just that and they are doing pretty well for themselves.
Sometimes it takes that 1 good book to get noticed, BUT you can't rely on that. The more you have out there, the better.
Thank you. My novel, "Untouched" will be out in the Spring.
Stephanie Dolce The best thing about being a writer is that not only can I entertain people and take them away from their problems, I also can help people solve problems and give advice as per my non-fiction books.
I am enjoying writing my fiction book, "Untouched" because I get to use some life experiences and observations as a basis for the book.
Stephanie Dolce A lot of experiences helped me grow and I wished to share them with others, so this way they don't have to go through the same crap I did. Hopefully they can learn from my book and not fall victim to what society tells them they should be doing or how they should be dating.
My book above all else is a teaching tool to have the relationship you really want and not being afraid to know your worth.
Stephanie Dolce When the mind is running a mile a minute, sometimes that is the cue that my creativity is flowing. Usually what inspires me to write are whatever I am going thru in real time or observing others emotional roller-coasters.
When I get in the zone, I usually just know it.
Stephanie Dolce Currently I am working on "Untouched" my follow pup novel to my short story, "My Tiara Is Giving Me A Headache." Plus I am looking to start a new short story.
Stephanie Dolce My advice for aspiring writers is to write about what you love, what you know, and don't take criticism of your writing personally. You grow as a writer by learning to accept that not everyone is going to love what you write, and sometimes someone else will see something you wrote differently.
Stephanie Dolce I usually do a few things to deal with writer's block. I like to listen to jazz music to set the mood and I tune out everything else. When that fails I then take a day or two away from writing and de-stress my body and mind.
