Voices Unveiled

• Award Winner Interview: ankitawrites_Xx•

Hello everyone,

We're back with another interview yet again, we're here with 

Welcome to the interview, without anymore late, let's get started.

May we know a few words about yourself?

I'm an 18 year old Forensic Science student who may be a silly writer in spare time but finds aweird thrill in crime series.

That's really wonderful!

2) When did you Start writing either on this platform or in the normal way?

I had started writing since I turned 11 but I never thought someday I'd write a whole novel until Iturned 16. So yeah, I discovered Wattpad when I was 16 and I still remember my first book was
total crap.

Well we all think our first work is crap but it's still very close to our hearts hehe...

That's actually true.

3)What is your motivation to write?

Definitely it's the support of my very loving readers. The days when I feel too drained out or something, I just look at all the precious and long comments of love my readers write for me.. as a writer it feels so good that maybe not a 100 but one person is waiting
for me to post a chapter and it'll bring a huge smile on their face when they read it.

Readers are our inspiration so we work even better for them...

Exactly.

4) How do you feel when you got to know you are the winner?

Haha... Tbh this may sound a bit cliche but I was literally surprised, since I had checked the books I was competing against so when I saw my name for the first place I was like How?????

I mean there were so many better books than mine That's literally everybody's reaction . We just can't believe that we won!!! Even if days passed.

Exactly. I think that for an author, his/her book is the least favorite. Every second book I saw in the contest seemed like I am Majnu bhai competing against Picasso

Now that the universal truth

Ikr😂

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

Yes I did and I'm actually happy that the readers who didn't like a few things of my book pointed them out without sugar coating it and if we talk about how I overcame it, I just edited the things
that didn't sit right and I'm trying not to repeat the same errors again. After all, facing criticism is the first step to becoming better.

Sometimes criticism is actually for our good we shouldn't always take them in negative way

I agree with you

6) When did you come across this genre of Fanfiction category?

So this is so silly, I'm actually embarrassed to say but I remember it happened in summer vacation and I had literally nothing to do so I was just surfing through the internet and came
across a 2011 show Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon. And personally I'm not a big fan when it comes to ITV but the onscreen chemistry of Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani was so amazing that I found myself reading more and more on them and one moment I was watching their clips and
the other I was reading a fanfic on the same.
Khushi and Arnav the iconic couple duo*

Yessss Arshi>>>>>

If other than AvNeil I liked an onscreen couple then it'd be without a second thought Arshi
