INTERVIEW 177: @Itslikeametaphor

Hello Everyone

Today I got the opportunity to interview Itslikeametaphor

Thank you very much for allowing me to do the same.

I had a wonderful time taking your interview.

1. Your real name.

I don't want to go by my real name any more so for those who know it already "SHUSH" and for those who don't, I call myself Samyra over here on Wattpad.

2. A little about yourself.

I'm 18 years old and will be turning 19 on March 20th. I'm hopefully going to be a doctor soon because I'm currently studying for my medical entrance exam. I live in Delhi, India. I love writing a hell lot. I'm a fan. I read, get inspired and try to write my mind out. I like to write for myself than for anybody else. Writing and being appreciated about it satisfies me a lot. I love baking cakes. I basically love the idea of being able to bake such yum stuff that I like to experiment sometimes. I am not much of a Bollywood admirer. I settle for Hollywood movies and shows. Rom-coms and drama top the list of my type of movies. I also watch many Action movies and Sci-fi keep me hooked as well. Horror movies excite me a lot but I just have a hard time sleeping for months after watching one.

3. How long have you been on Wattpad and how has Wattpad changed your life?

I have been on Wattpad since 2011. However I was inactive for all those years and I operated my account again when I first started writing my first fanfiction on Parth and Niti. Wattpad has changed my life drastically, I have started working towards what I always had wanted to do that is, writing. Now that I have found Wattpad again, I wouldn't want to leave it ever. I will continue writing books here as long as I can (I think).

4. What inspired you to write book?

I had always wanted to write a story. I started reading books when I was in 6th or 5th class and since then I have never stopped. Every time I read a fantasy book or a fiction, I would feel extremely happy (I still do) and then I'd have ideas floating in my head about my own books but I never really discovered a medium back then and even if I had, I was an amateur at that age and couldn't have written things the way I pictured them in my head.

5. Any plans to write a new book.

I have a hell lot of plans about writing new books and I have them all lined up too but I just don't have enough time to sit down and give my story a shape and a proper plot. But yes like I have said before my next one would not be a MaNan fanfiction. I want to explore more and try different styles and genres but with different and much better characters. I am tired of giving the face of Parth and Niti to my characters.

6. Have you ever been bashed for any book?

Thankfully, No. I have never been bashed for any of my works. My readers have been always supportive. Even now that I am off writing, they have only supported me in my decision and not lashed out on me. Thank you to all my readers! <3

7. A personality that has inspired you.

There have been a few writers that have inspired me here on Wattpad itself. I keep reading books and exploring new ways to write, examining the way the most famous books on Wattpad have been written. So for me, AvaViolet, Jenleighna and mikaelanay have been the writers who inspire me. Apart from that I read this book by Becca Fitzpatrick called the "Hush Hush" series, I really liked that book and the way it was written. So that too is an inspiration in one way.

8. What should a good book have?

A good book, in my perspective, should be written in a very nice and beautiful manner. Something that makes you want to read it over and over again. A great plot is a must. I read all genres including paranormal but not the horror ones. Magic, Angels, Demons etc, works well for me. So whatever one writes, they should have a good and planned plot and their book should be written well. And I like to see the characters evolve in the book from what they were in Chapter One to what they become as the story evolves. Some stories just don't shine a light at that aspect but I think they should. I don't know much though.... I'm still a learner. A writer in process. (:

9. Your favourite book on Wattpad.

I have so many favorite books on Wattpad, I can't name one. Out of all that I have read, I have some of them listed in my reading list, you can all see them on my profile if you like. But I'll still name a few. Perfect Addiction by claudiaoverhere  #Limits series, The Bad Boy in Glasses and Aftershocks of Kiss-Cam by mikaelanay  she's With Me by AvaViolet and The Bad Boy series by Jenleighna and there are more.

10. Your favourite writer on Wattpad.

I already have listed my favorite writers here.

11. Your favourite movie.

The Divergent Series. Neighbours 1 and 2! It's damn hilarious! The Notebook. (I know its sappy but then it's The Notebook.) I love love love superhero movies! Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Ironman, damn those men I never get tired of watching them Marvel and D.C superhero movies. They're really cool! I love Deadpool. I mean who doesn't? It's so funny and amazing! Ryan Reynolds <3 I enjoyed watching the Harry Potter series as well. Princess Diaries. Frozen. Tangled. Narnia. I'm eagerly waiting for The Beauty and The Beast and Justice League that are to be released this year!

12. Your favourite actor and actress.

I don't understand why there has to be one favourite! I have so many! Actors : Tom Cruise, Hugh Jackman, ZAC EFFRON, DAVE FRANCO, Will Smith, Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Christian Bale, Chris Evans, Henry Cavil, Ben Affleck, Jason Momoa, Akshay Kumar, Hritik Roshan, Siddharth Malhotra, Ranveer Singh. I guess these are Amazing actors.

Actresses : Deepika Padukone, Kareen Kapoor, Diane Lane, Isla Fisher, Scarlett Johanson, Anne Hathway, Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston. There are more but I should stop already.

13. Your theory of life.

I don't have a theory of life. I'm just almost 19. I'm still discovering the various aspects of life but I really think one should just be honest and true at whatever possible times. Especially to their own selves. I think there is nothing is boasting and flaunting. Being fake is like being made of plastic than of flesh.

14. What does love mean to you?

Love is simply trust and trust comes with time. Therefore I can't love someone unless I trust them 110% or more. We love our parents because we blindly trust them from the day one of our birth. So I think trust is the key.

15. Single/Relationship

Single.

16. Two words to describe your fans/readers.

My readers are very supportive and encouraging. Their comments keep me motivated.

17. One word to describe yourself.

Well, I am... A Simple yet a difficult person.

18. Anything to convey to your readers.

All I would like to convey to my readers is that they're all amazing. My readers have been awfully supportive each time I started a new story. I have always felt motivated to write more because of them. Some of you guys never fail to bring a smile on my face when I read your comments. It tells me how well you all follow the story and how much invested you all are in the plot. I just want to thank all of these supportive people and also, I would like to request for ya'll to continue reading my works even after I stop writing MaNan because I would need your supportive even then! Thank you. Love ya'll <3   

ONCE AGAIN, I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME TAKING YOUR INTERVIEW. I AM SURE YOUR READERS WOULD BE ABLE TO VISUALIZE HOW YOU ARE AS A PERSON. KEEP SMILING. YOU GUYS CAN SUGGEST NAMES OF WRITERS YOU WANT INTERVIEW OF. WITH LOADS OF LOVE, GAYATHRI.
