1. How did you adjust your writing in your stories, may naapektuhan ba because of work/acads and life?

To be honest, walang masyadong adjustment na naganap. I write my stories during may free time and hindi ko hinahayaang mag-overlap siya with my other works.

2. What do you prefer to write: Series or Standalone stories? Why?

Series. I personally believe that the main character changes depending on the point of view. As a writer, gusto ko ring bigyan ng chance 'yong ibang characters na maging main character din, especially if they have a story to tell.

3. How do you motivate yourself to keep writing?

Reading the comments. They help a looooot! Naipapakita kasi nito na totally engaged ang readers mo sa ginagawa mo. Tsaka, I love hearing from my readers. Gustong-gusto ko na nakikita na they are loving this and hating that, which goal ko. Naipakikita niya na successful 'yong gusto kong build up.

4. Among your stories, what particular scene is difficult for you to write?

Romantic scenes. I know love is the fundamental of life kaya kahit na anong genre, I need to show a depiction of love in any form. Pero 'pag romantic na, as in intimate, nahihirapan talaga ako. Minsan nga gusto ko na siyang i-skip pero bawal hahaha.

5. Saan kayo mas nacha-challenge sa pagbuo ng first chapter o sa epilogue?

I have no problem with the first chapter and epilogue. Iyon ang pinakamadali sa akin. Kapag nakaka-isip ako ng novel, iyon na agad ang naiisip ko along with the possible twist/s. Ang mahirap para sa akin ay 'yong gitna, 'yong build up ng story.

6. If you can bring one of your characters to life, who will it be and why?

Traise Stevens of Defend Me, Attorney. My novels are mind games, and my readers know that only Traise can solve them with no hassle. Less migraine hahaha.

7. Among your characters, who's the closest to you? Why?

Cliford Andrius Blake of Kill Me, Attorney. With all those traumas, he deserves a tight hug.

8. If you could collaborate with any author (local man or international), who would it be and why?

Harper Lee and Martha Cecilia. I would learn a lot especially with societal stories and romance.

9. Anong famous story (be it classic or contemporary Literature) ang hinihiling mong ikaw ang nakapagsulat? Bakit?

I am re-reading the Harry Potter books and nasa Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix na ako. Sobrang engaging niya and since it's fantasy, it requires a reaaaalyyy wide and rich imagination. J.K Rowling did well and I am envious. Sana ganoon din ako ka-expressive, ka-imaginative, and ka-eloquent. If I were, I could've written Harry Potter series myself hahaha.

10. What are your future plans in your writing career?
- To be the next best-selling author. Let's claim it!
