"Leading In Expressing The Word"
This month LLP brings you an interview with the creator of 'The Housewife Diaries Series' author Dominique LeSane. Read how Dominique keep coming up with the stories that keeps you turning the pages...
LLP: Introduce yourself to your fans.
DL: Dominique LeSane. I’m originally from Baltimore,MD and I reside in Atlanta, GA.
LLP: Who/what inspired you to write?
DL: Writing just comes naturally for me. It’s part of who I am. I’m an avid reader so my writing is inspired by reading work by other authors who are talented and have the gift for bringing stories to life through words.
DL: What other works have you published?
LLP: I’m working on a full length story now, but the first time I was published is with Lady Leo Publishing.
LLP: How long have you been writing?
DL: My entire life. I best express myself by writing.
LLP : What are your goals as a writer?
TG: To continue to write stories that are entertaining, bold, and fresh.
LLP: What can fans expect to find when they read one of your stories?
DL: I like talking about subjects that women can relate to. Readers will always be able to read one of my stories and find themselves somewhere in the characters.
LLP: What do you hope fans take away after reading one of your stories?
DL: We all make choices whether they are right or not. Readers will always be entertained, but be able to see my characters go through some type of growth.
LLP: How do you come up with your characters?
DL: I get a lot of help from my girlfriends. They tell me so many stories about their lives and it always gets my mind churning with a good story.
LLP: Are the characters based on real life situations?
DL: Most of them with some exaggeration and extra drama
LLP: What excites you most about being a writer?
DL: The fact that I can create my own endings and I can bring to life other people’s stories and stories that people can relate to
LLP: What challenges have you faced as a writer?
DL: Promoting your work is always one. You have to be a salesman to sell people on your stories. Fortunately for me, I’ve had a great experience so far.
LLP: What do you consider your greatest achievement as a writer?
DL: When people read my work and compliment me. It is the best achievement to reach readers.
LLP: How do you balance writing with your personal/professional life?
DL: Time Management. You have to set aside time to write and feel comfortable shutting the computer off!
LLP: Who/what has been your biggest supporter?
DL: My husband. He truly understands my need to fulfill a dream of mine to be a writer.
LLP: What would you like fans to know about you?
DL: As an avid reader, I strive to write things that I would read myself. I always keep the reader in mind when I write.
LLP: What would you like to say to your fans?
DL: Thank you for supporting me!
LLP: What advice do you have for aspiring writers?
DL: 2 things- First, not everyone is truly a writer. Having a story to tell does not make you a storyteller. Second, writing must be ingrained in your soul to make it in this business. I’ve met authors who don’t like to read. I’m not sure what that is about, but to me, it means that you are not passionate about what you do.
How do you like to write and you don’t like to read? Isn’t that what you expect readers to do with the work you write? Trust me, when you are an author that doesn’t like to read, it shows in your writing!
LLP: What can we expect from you next?
DL: More short stories with Lady Leo. I’ve found a great home for my work. I’ll also be working on a full length novel.
LLP: How can fans get in contact with you?
