#1|How did you discover Wattpad?

_Mariahaneef_ : I was searching for ebooks online and I stumbled across the Wattpad site. Yeah, you can say stumbled because after you stumble you find something amazing and I found something as amazing as Wattpad.

#2|What inspired you to write?

_Mariahaneef_ : I have been writing ever since I was young but never shared it on a platform like Wattpad or Instagram. Some from my personal experiences and some knowledge from here and there and together I placed my thoughts into my books. Which, I am glad liked by so many.

#3|What is your favourite book on Wattpad?

_Mariahaneef_ : Mr player vs Miss Tomboy by Badia. It has been removed now. But is my favorite and the second one is 11 days of halal dating by hopesprayernsmiles.

#4|Who is your favourite Author on Wattpad?

_Mariahaneef_ : HopesPrayersNSmiles Socialrecluse hayatkhan07 and

BadiaaMais_63 .

#5|How was your reaction when you recieved your first ever comment?

_Mariahaneef_ : I was on 7th sky. I was so so so happy. I was so overwhelmed when someone other than my friends decided to read my book and they liked it so much.

#6 |Any plans to publish a paperwork in future?

_Mariahaneef_ : Yes, I am actually going to publish one soon. In sha Allah.

#7|What would you do if someone plagiarize your work?

_Mariahaneef_ : I'd confront them to take it down. If they listen it's good. If not, Allah will take care of them on the day of judgement.  Haha

#8|What is your response to hate comments?

_Mariahaneef_ : It's been almost two years to me, writing on Wattpad and so far I have not got any hate comments and when I do, I confront them as politely as I can be. I like when people be frank with their comments but there's a difference between being frank and being rude. And I do not tolerate rudeness. I mean, they can choose to read another book if they have so many problems. Why taking their precious time and commenting nothing but hate?

#9|What is your advice to the writers on Wattpad?

_Mariahaneef_ : Umm.. my advice is to never give up. Never look at those writers who have their book's ranking above you or etc. And never feel as though you won't be able to reach high or gain readers or votes. When you write, write for yourself irrespective of who is reading and who is voting. Write whenever or whatever you feel like. Do not doubt your capabilities. I mean, every pro was once a beginner you get me? When I published my first book I was surrounded by so much of self-doubt but the passion of writing kept me going and at this stage of life, I am glad I didn't give up.

#10|Do you find writing on Wattpad useful?

_Mariahaneef_ : Very useful! It's an amazing platform for writers as well as readers. I am both. I read other user's works and write as well. So it's very beneficial and there's  no pressure or competition. Everyone is amazing on their own and that's great.

#11|Your favourite Reader?

_Mariahaneef_ : My favorite readers are those who response with the same reaction I expect them to react when I write a specific chapter. And I love big paragraphic comments. It means a lot when readers take their precious time out of their day to not just read but also to let you know how much they appreciate your work. In my case it is ObscuredSoul .
