Meet Kristina Stangl

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kristina Stangl. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Kristina, thank you so much for taking the time to share your lessons learned with us and we’re sure your wisdom will help many. So, one question that comes up often and that we’re hoping you can shed some light on is keeping creativity alive over long stretches – how do you keep your creativity alive?

To keep my creativity alive and strong, I frequently read books in my favorite genres, spend quality time with my family and friends, travel the outdoors, experiment with baking new recipes and try to take on new skills and hobbies. I believe that through our experiences, we can gain new perspectives about life and ourselves, too. As an author, I constantly strive to learn more about the world through books, travel and activities, in order to enhance my creativity and improve on my writing skills with each new book that I write and release.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I’m an author of eight books and counting. I write in a variety of genres, including romance, romantasy, contemporary romance, mysteries and thrillers. As of date, I have three book series, with more on the way. All books are available to purchase from my website.

Currently, I’m working on a new romantasy novel, as well as a new series about villains, which will be coming out soon. Please stay tuned!

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

In my experience, the three most important qualities in one’s journey is persistence, optimism and hard work. These three qualities are the magic ingredients to success.

Through constant persistence, one can overcome any obstacle through practice. By remaining optimistic, we can face any challenge through our positive attitudes. And lastly, through hard work, we can accomplish any task at hand.

These three specific qualities helped me to get to where I am today. And because of my own personal experiences, I believe that these skills can help others towards achieving their dreams as well.

Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?

Feeling overwhelmed is a natural occurrence that all folks can experience from time to time. From my own experience, I, too, have also felt overwhelmed at times, when working on an upcoming project.

To overcome this, I’ve learned to take some breaks in between my projects to refresh my mind and gain new inspirations. Sometimes, walking away (albeit temporarily) is the key to recharge. Often times, our busy schedules and constant routines can feel overwhelming and take away from our passions. Therefore, I believe that the best solution is to take a mini break. Whether it’s taking a walk outside, reading a good book, drinking a cup of tea or coffee, or even, taking a vacation, sometimes in life we need a breather in order to get back on track once again.
