Hello. I’m Stella Star Cordova. I really don’t know where to start to give a bio of who I am, what I’ve been through or what my desires are. I think the easiest thing to do is say what my life represents at this exact moment. I’m a believer (Christian), a free-lance writer, novelist/poet, an amateur photographer and a wanna be musician. Like everyone’s life, mine didn’t turn out exactly how I dreamed. I’m not saying that its not what I wanted, but I had to take many bumps, turns and detours to be where I am today – which is? Sitting. I’m not strong enough yet to stand on my own. So I’m sitting at the feet of Jesus, praying for the strength and courage to stand up once again and continue down the path I know He has for me. Like stated, I am a ‘writer.’ Writing is my life and is my core being. I write to get stress, built up emotions and irrational thoughts out of my head. I write poems, epics, short stories, novels and most recently articles for web magazines. I discovered my writing talents in my sophomore year of high school. I wanted to do something special for my pastor and his family; my mother gave me the idea to write a poem. And from there it’s all written down in history, literally, from that point I couldn’t stop writing. There was a point in time where I stopped writing and that’s when things started to spiral out of control. Writing is who I am, it’s a part of me; it’s a way that I release stress. And not having that key coping skill to use when things began to overwhelm me lead to other ways of coping. I began to self harm in my junior year of high school and since then the ideas, thoughts, and plots of teens suffering from indescribable pain and hurt has entered my poems and stories. Finally seeking help and entering into groups and therapies I’m on my way to recovery. But the passion of writing is what helps the most. I am now back in full blossom with my writing; I own and run my own online magazine, Corruption, and am on staff at The Christian Pulse. I’m a freelance writer that tries to get jobs where ever she can (paying jobs are the best!). I have picked up photography. Became enthralled with the Christian music world and desire to be a part of it in anyway I can. I help promote small and unknown indie bands and help run promotion teams. I’ve started to learn how to play the piano. I’ve become even craftier then what I originally was; became obsessed with scrapbooking and making memory posters, collages are my favorite. I’ve picked up these hobbies in hope to find better and healthier coping skills. From all the pain and suffering that I have gone through, if it can change one person’s life; then it will be worth all the pain, hurt and scars. I’m a work in progress; and I thank God - He’s the contractor. -Stella Star Cordova
