#SoLet'sBegin!

☕|How did you discover Wattpad?

TheSecretWriterr94|The first time I downloaded the app was in 2014 I think,right before we were going to go on holiday.We always drive to Morocco,which can take up to 3 days.I wanted to keep myself busy during the ride,so I downloaded Wattpad and opened up some stories to read on the way. The funny part was that I never read those stories and I eventually deleted the app when we arrived in Morocco.It was not until last year I actually downloaded the app again.

My sister introduced it to me back then,saying you could read offline books.So I eventually downloaded it,but never used it.

☕|What inspired you to write?

TheSecretWriterr94|To be honest, nothing and no one. I'm not into reading that much, I mean, I love reading a good book but I never was a giant book lover. I started writing because I used to find books I liked but they never went the way I wanted them to go. (I never finished a book except for 2 or 3. I get bored pretty fast, especially with books.)

So I one day started writing myself mainly because I'm a very creative person and I love creating an imaginary world that can go the way I want it to go. So I'm not like the other big Wattpad writers that only want to write in life. I enjoy writing, don't get me wrong, but It isn't like a big passion of mine.

☕|So is your book Falling in love with The Muslim Girl an inspired work or your own idea?

TheSecretWriterr94|No it actually isn't. It's just based on some friend who went through the same situation.That which is falling in love with a non-Muslim guy of course.

☕|What is your favourite book(s)?

TheSecretWriterr94|I don't have a favourite book as I said earlier,I don't read a lot. I currently enjoy some books whenever I have some time but I don't have a specific book I'm really into. I also don't have a favourite writer.I will never have a favourite writer.. I might enjoy a book of a particular writer but that doesn't mean I like all their other books and the writer himself. Hope that doesn't sound too arrogant lol. I just don't read that much to have a favourite writer or book.

☕|Among your books,What is your favourite?

TheSecretWriterr94|Definitely TCUL as it's in someway based on 1 part of my life.

☕|How do you deal with Writer's Block? If you ever had one.

TheSecretWriterr94|Of course I've dealt with writers block before. Whenever I have one, I simply just stop writing for the day and try to continuethe next day. I always take up to 2 to 3 days to write anyway so it's fine. I try to never force myself into writing because it's mostly those times that a writer block comes up.

☕|Do you like to publish a PaperWork in future?

TheSecretWriterr94|I mean that would be awesome,but it isn't like a big goal.As I said before,expressing my creativity into a story is what is most important to me.

☕|What is your quote on Sprituality?Like how do you feel about it?

TheSecretWriterr94|How do I feel about it? Uhm tough one tbh.I feel like the genre is by many people seen as the genre where you can't publish your book in if it contains anything that is in the slightest haram. Yet it's simple, if the book includes a particular religion it can be placed under spiritual. The book doesn't need to preach a religion, only mentioning it is enough. If I read a book,I read one from the spiritual category..Maybe because I feel like those books tell a story closer to reality if you get what I mean.

☕|In my opinion though,I feel like most of the Spritual books don't really need to preach whole religion,but it should havea proper representation in it,just by mentioning a religion it can't be a spritual book,otherwise the name spritual is not even needed at all since most of the romance and even horror books mention some religions.

TheSecretWriterr94|People don't like it when a religion is mentioned in a book or video. And then you have readers who are specifically searching for a book that is based on religion.So to fix that they added a category to let religious  people know who are looking for spirituality,that they can find it under a separated genre. What I mean by preaching is completely shutting yourself off from reality. The struggles we go through on a daily basis. Portraying a Muslim who is perfect and who doesn't make a single mistake.Not a single person on this planet is like that.That's what I mean by 'mentioning a religion'. Yes I mention the religion but I don't preach Islam in every chapter.Anyway, I'm too lazy to start a discussion with someone. And I think that's not why you messaged me for. A good journalist accepts whatever the person he's interviewing says lol. I'm just joking btw,don't take me too serious on that last part ;)

☕|Do you recieve hate comments?If yes,What is your response?

TheSecretWriterr94|Nah not that much, and if I do, I got some genuine and caring readers/followers who always got my back.But getting hate doesn't happen often.

☕|Do you think of writing more in future?

TheSecretWriterr94|Yeah of course, just need to find the time to continue writing.

☕|What is your advice to the writers on Wattpad?

TheSecretWriterr94|Keep writing, like seriously, don't stop. I had already written 20 chapters of FILWTMG when I just hit 1k reads but I didn't stop. After having some sabr and 10readers that supported me, I kept writing and after that my book took off. So never stop, like seriously, don't give up!

☕|Among your readers,who is your favourite?

TheSecretWriterr94|Basically the ones I follow,but I love every reader of mine. Every single one is equal to me.But the ones I follow supported me through everything so that's why.

☕|Finally,What do you think I should do to improve my Interview?

TheSecretWriterr94|Just try to keep it professional and respect the opinion of the person you are interviewing even if you don't agree with them at all. Good luck with everything.

#That'sIt!
