Zephyr Interviews

• Award Winner Interview •

Hello everyone,

Welcome to another episode of Zephyr Interviews.

It's me sickreader56 with an amazing guest ViniShah2 who won our awards.

Without any more late, let's start with the interview.

1) May we know a few words about yourself?

Im like a butterfly colorful, beautiful,
(delicate but pleasing to your eyes) It will spread its colours and positivity but it's difficult for you to touch.

2) When did you start writing sither on this platform or in the normal way?

I don't exactly remember when I made but published my first book in App Till then, I was just trying to get to know Wattpad. Nope only on Wattpad if we don't consider MS word.

3) What is your motivation to write?

My motivation is well, my studies we can
say I get bored studying all day and books keep eve. May it be writing or reading Well, I know I shouldn't say this because basically I'm writing/reading just because i get bore with studies and end up grabbe a book but nevermind;)

So yeah, writing for me is like an escape from the reality Also, I love Happy ever after

And we all know that we won't get happy ever after

So love to write such books Alleest ges to make a story on my own

4) How did you feel when you got to know that you were the winner?

Felt super happy live any other author would feel

Winning awards might be a small thing for our readers or normal people who don't write

But it means a lot to authors. We get confident with our work. We feel acknowledged, loved, respected and it makes us want to write better books and be a better writer than we are

5) Did you ever face criticism? If yes how did you overcome Did you ever face criticism? If yes how did you overcome it?

I do

And I surely feel demotivated. But I think about their points for a few minutes then ask 3 of my randers if I've written or done that thing wrong too or not

It's always a readers because it's an odd number

And I trust my readers more because since Im not that big of a writer, I usually get criticised by a judge or a reviewer And if my readers find no issue, I stop averthinking and I go with the flow.

For me, my readers are my judge reviewer and so I trust them more

6) When did you come across this genre or this fan fiction category?

Actually, when I started writing, I didn't know the genre what I was writing was fanfiction

Okay so here we go. Two of my stories
that I've written, the plots were made in my dreams (that we see while we are sleeping)

One day I decided to witte this story which was also after 6 months, just for myself That dream made me happy afterall.

Then after I wrote sent to one of my cousin who is K-pop and Kdrama fan for a longer time than I am. She loved it and she was ike "Go ahead and publish it on Wattpad. BTS fans will love it. This is the first fanfic I've  liked okay But what the hell is Wattpad and fanfic? then downloaded Wattpad and did some research and then I published my first book.

Also, I don't only write fanfictions I did write a mystery book after my first fanfic But since the readers base I've got were the ones who love fanfiction, I wrote another fanfics my third book It anyways makes no difference since we just want to write

7) What was your opinion about our awards and how we hosted them?What was your opinion about our awards and how we hosted them?

Honestly liked it, because there were different types of games which I've hardly seen in other awards like there were different fanfictions Indian and international.

Loved that idea.

Maybe there could have been prizes for top three and not just First place and Runnerup. That's my opinion though!

8) How do you handle writer's block?

I just read books in times when I can't produce ideas. Recour not every day we can write. But we can get ideas and good
vocabulary every day, right? So yeah, it can't continue writing or something such sort happens, become a reader.

9) Do you plan on taking writing as a profession? If yes, what are your plans for ?Do you plan on taking writing as a profession? if yes, what are your plans for it?

At times I do. And till I got get financially stable, I'll continue to write on Wattpad and grow myself as a writer and then maybe Wattys that will help me
gain more recognition I can continue online writing that way. Also, do imagine my book being chosen for a movie or something. But those are just my deep desires!))

What was your response when you first published this book What was your response when you first published this book?

Tot great response to be honest. Because within the next 15 days since 1 published my book, I got more than 1k reads and it was a huge deal for me. Maybe promoting my hook on different platforms helped because in a month had readers from USA, Bangladesh, Philippines, Pakistan, India ofcourse And was in personal touch with all those readers (which I still am and they have become my great friends too) So overall it wasnt that tough for me besides receiving criticism occassionally

11) As a writer, what are your biggest strengths and weaknesses?

Biggest strength : I'm great at remembering things and so remember all the books, dramas, some great words by my readers and criticism too. So I tend to grow fast. Also, another strength, I don't get depressed more when someone criticizes me I tend to think which is my great strength. I take suggestions.

Weakness :  it takes time to come up with a new plot and so it takes a long time to come up with something new which makes me furious. Also, I have a fear of losing my readers if I don't come up with new stuffs often, and that makes me more scared and enraged.

12) Is there any advice you would like to give to teenagers out there any advice you would like to give to teenagers out there?

Be polite, patient, hang on there, make new friends and be open to citicism because that will help you grow as a person too I've seen, teenagers these days have very little patience as compared to when I was a teen.

13) A few words about our community. few words about our community

You all are doing great and it was fun to be a part of your community, I'd love to take part in more fun activities when you come up with them Keep up the good work and please don't get depressed when people don't react positively. You all are working hard enough to overthink. There will always be good people to support your work.

14) Would you like to join this community?

I cant always be available

15) How did you feel about giving us the Interview? Any suggestions would you liketo give?
