There's always an untold story behind the journey of a writer. From the beginning, where it's just short scanty words written down on books with a pen with little or no intentions of making something tangible out of it, words that even sometimes, on...

Hello everyone. I know you might be surprised to see me. I'm surprised myself. I've been so busy lately that's why I had to slow down things with the interview. A big thank you to Madinah_Writes for her patience. 💛💛💛. I had an interview with her a week ago or so but I wasn't able to publish it due to some things. Yeah, it's very unlike me because most of you know I publish on the day of the interview or a day after. The interview was the BOMB. Literally. I love her beautiful way of replying to questions and the way she took out time to answer them all properly. Kudos to her💛💛💛.
Interviewer: Can you briefly introduce yourself?
Madinah: My name is Madinah Abdulsamiu. A writer, poet, artist, and quoter. I'm a Nigerian and also a Muslimah.
Interviewer: How many books have you written and which happens to be your favourite?
Madinah: I've written over 30 books on Wattpad and all are equally interesting based on their genre and theme but I'm so in love with my recent story. It's titled My Mr Perfect, Imperfect. It's a CEO romance and I get tons of readers for it almost every day.
Interviewer: Oh wow. That's nice. What serves as your motivation when you don't feel up to doing anything, especially writing.
Madinah: Thank you. You'll always find me writing. If not a story, a poem. Writing is my most favourite thing in the world. Apart from writing, I love reading, drawing, painting, listening to music and cooking. Umm... I'm a big fan of movies and I love sleeping too😉😉😉.
Interviewer: Have you ever experienced writers' block and how do you deal with it?
Madinah: Nah, I kick that shit in the face anytime it appears. Writers' block doesn't affect me or my writings.
Interviewer: What is your favourite genre to write or read?
Madinah: I love all genres except LGBTQ and erotica. Those are just a no no for me.
Interviewer: I detest LGBTQ as as well. Not a fan and never will be. Have you ever read a story where your favourite character was killed? If yea, how did it make you feel and how did you handle it?
Madinah: No, I have never read any book where my favourite character got killed but I wrote a book where I romantically killed my favourite character. It ended as a tragic story and most of the supporting characters died at the end. The story is titled, Hot Love. It is also based on a true-life event, something that happened in my neighbourhood. I'll advise you to check it out. It's an all in one genre but it's really worth the read. Umm... How I handled it... I'm an emotional person so I feel everything I write. I cry and laugh most times when reading or writing. Especially when I'm alone and my neighbours would be like, is she alright? 😂
Interviewer: I love the way you answer questions and in a way, I see we are almost a bit the same in some aspects.
Madinah: Yes. We are writers after all. There's always a connection😊.
Interviewer: Since some of your stories are romance-themed, would you mind sharing your idea, beliefs and definition of love?
Madinah: Wow! I love this question. First, I'll say love is patience. It shouldn't be rushed or delayed. I know many 14 years old today that would be like "I need a boyfriend. Like seriously? You neva grow teeth.
