Meet The Authors Showcase Edition #2 (2 of 3)

A showcase with @ramyas18, author of Life is Beautiful

1 what inspired the idea of your story?

 This story was inspired by my own feelings. Some things that the main character feels I felt it. I was going to make it a depression story, but changed it later. I do not have depression, but I do have many depressing thoughts at times, things are getting better for me though.

2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story?

 I struggled with understanding how to introduce each character. It was quite hard at first, but now I have the whole story planned out, I just need to write it.

3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?

 I like showing each characters emotions, because everyone is different. I also love keeping the suspense for my readers/kittens to see them get excited to see what happens next.

4 what's the overall response of your story from your readers?

I actually don't have many reads and comments, but so far I think it has been pretty ok.

5 is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series ?

I  am planning on keeping it a stand alone novel. I might make a series of it in the future, but I highly doubt it. Only if the readers really want it.

6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?

I would like the readers to understand that life is tough, but at the end of the storm there is a rainbow. That is why the title is Life is Beautiful. 

7 what advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to focusing on their own story?

 I would say, keep writing and keep a schedule. I was told this from a fellow writer when I started the series. I also think that you have to wait for the views to come in, but in the meantime talk to other readers and writer, enjoy your time on Wattpad. Don't think to much if people don't read your story, because it will take some time.

8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?

 Yes, the main character was based of me. I was lonely and antisocial in the beginning, but as time went on I got a little brave. Some things I wouldn't say we have common, but most of the feelings she has relates to how I would react. 

9 what is something about your story you believe would draw in new readers?

It will have a lot of drama. This story revolves around Emma and her friends group, but also the whole theater club. It will have a lot of ups and downs. Just stay and read the adventure and I guarantee it will be a fun one.

10 do you have any future projects?

 Yes, I have a few future projects that I plan on releasing after Life is Beautiful. It might take some time, but I do plan on doing it. They will be in different topics though, not just highschool life.
