Frequently Asked Questions
How do you pronounce your name?
First name: Dea – Pronounced as DEE. Last name: Poirier – POUR-E-ER
When did you start writing?
I’m not entirely sure. I always wrote songs/poetry/stories when I was a kid. The first real story I remember putting a lot of effort into was a short story for a creative writing class in high school. I wrote about a man who was accidentally turned into a potted plant by a couple witches.
Where do you get inspiration?
Normally from history, and places. Many of my stories are inspired by history, mythology, or places that I’ve stumbled on in my travels around the country.
What is your favorite book?
Diary by Chuck Palahniuk.
What’s it like having Aphantasia?
If you’ve never heard of Aphantasia, it’s the lack of creating mental imagery. There’s a scale, some people with Aphantasia can picture things roughly in their mind–I however cannot picture anything in my mind at all. My memories aren’t images, I can’t picture the faces of people I know, I don’t imagine scenes or characters from my books (I keep an excel sheet of physical features if I decide to add them at all, because I have no idea what they look like), most of my dreams don’t even have imagery.
