@RoygebivTwirl

Presenting to all of you the raw interview to our beloved Author, RoygebivTwirl. Let's discover his Point of view!

💎💎💎

1. Story behind your username/ pen name.

You maybe find it kinda cheesy once you've learned the story behind my username, but to be honest, I'm actually into Boys Love or Girls Love story. I love reading novels that connects with the LGBTQ. With my passion of writing a stories and being one of the Ally, it gave me the idea to start my novels that involves BL or GL so I come up with the name, Roygebiv that stands the short term for rainbow's acronym for the sequence of hues. I just added the letter 'E' just to have a proper pronunciation of my username. And for my other name, Twirl. This only shows that I also have the obsession of putting twist into my stories.

2. Favorite author and why?

Jonaxx is my ultimate favorite author since I can remember. The way she write her stories really inspires me a lot in away of how all her stories always bring me to its own world. I must say that she's indeed an effective writer. Kaya niyang kilitiin ang puso ng mambabasa. Kakaiba pa ang atake ng mga kwentong nagawa niya.

3. Friends in writing world

I still don't have friends in writing world. Well, I do have few in mind but I'm not quite sure if they consider me one of their friends.

4. When do you started writing?

I started writing when I was in Grade 6. That was year, 2011.

5. Paano ka naging writer? Paano mo na-discover na writer ka?

I became a writer because of the movie, Peter Pan 2004. The day I watched that film, it made me realized that I was actually fond of fairy tales and novels. The film inspired me to become a storyteller at first then soon I dreamed to become a novel writer.

6. In one describing word, describe how's your feeling to be author-reader?

Explosive

7. Ano ang paborito mong Genre at bakit?

Fantasy will always be my all time favorite Genre. It's just it helps my mind to explore without a limit and gives me the unstoppable imagining things beyond reality.

8. What time, mood or weather do you prefer while writing?

I want it when it's raining. Panatag ang isipan ko sa tuwing umuulan. I can clearly visualize what scene to put in my story. The pitter-patter of raindrops is like a music to my ears. But it still depends on how heavy the rain is.

9. Sino/ano ang inspirasyon mo sa pagsusulat?

I always put God first. Hindi ganoo'n kalinaw pag-iisip ko kapag hindi ko muna hinihingi ang lakas ko sa pagsusulat kay God. And secondly, my family. Sila lang ang iniisip ko sa tuwing magsusulat na ako. Half of the scenes I put on my written stories were actually inspired by the real events, na hango iyun sa mga ilang napagdaanan naming magpapamilya.

10. What's the reason behind your interest in writing?

I always want to give inspiration and lessons to my readers. Iyung pagsusulat ko kasi ang nagbibigay sa'kin ng makabagong mundo. Iyung hindi ko man nasasabi verbaly, pwede ko namang maisulat iyun sa pamamagitan ng pagsusulat ng isang kwento. All the things na hindi ko kayang magawa, idinadaan ko na lamang sa pagsusulat.

11. Na-disappoint ka na ba sa pagsusulat at sa kapwa mo manunulat?

I'm always disappointed whenever I write, most especially if I was running out of ideas on what to put on the next scene. Well, it's normal to be disappoint but to the extent that you're going to hate your work, hindi dapat ganoon. May ilan na rin akong nabasa na gawa ng iba na nadisappoint ako dahil siguro hindi ko lang talaga nagustuhan iyung ending o ng naging takbo ng kwento. Hindi lang siguro sumakto sa panlasa ko.

12. Mga napansin mong pagbabago sa community?

I noticed a lot of changes in this community. One thing is that, this community grows naturally along with the other aspiring authors. Sa nagdaang taon, nakita kong marami na ring mga ilang hindi napapansin noon na manunulat ay siyang nabigyan na ng pagkakataon makaangat at makilala. Lumalawak na rin ang community at sa tingin ko'y mas marami pa itong mahahatak na manunulat at mambabasa.

13. Anong gusto mong sabihin sa writing community?

The community helps me a lot to improve my skills. It also helps me gathered readers and gain reads. Thank you isn't enough to say but I'm always be thankful that the community became part of my life. I hope soon, this community become more successful and spread its positivity. Sana marami pa ang makadiscover dito at maibahagi rin nila ang ka ilang likha.

14. Anong mensahe/paalala sa mga reader at future reader mo?

I always want to say that I hope everyone would get satisfied and get inspired from reading my works. Ang gusto ko lamang ay may ngiti ang siyang makurba sa labi ng magiging mambabasa ko.

15. Ano ka bilang manunulat sa susunod na limang taon?

Five years from now, I can imagine myself having my own physical books and permanent readers.
