Sa palagian kong pag-i-scroll down sa newsfeed ko ay madalas ko makita itong aspiring writer na ito. Isa sa mga sinulat niya ang To Your World kung saan ang isang bida ay mapupunta sa kuwentong kanyang ginagawa. Pero anyway, inistorbo ko talaga siya para lang sa maikling interview na ito. Para na rin makilala natin siya nang slight hahaha at makakuha ng aral mula sa kanya. Ewan ko lang kung makatiis siya sa mga tanong kong walang kuwenta. Joke. Hahaha. Pawer!

Winfour: Hi! Dapat sumagot ka ng Hello. Hahaha.

Reinn: Hello HHAHAHHAHHAHA

Winfour: Pasensya na kung inistorbo kita. May karapatan kang manahimik at kumuha ng abogado, anumang sabihin mo ay maaari naming gamitin laban sa 'yo. Hahaha. Anyway, ang unang tanong; ano bang meron sa isang Reinn?

Reinn: There's nothing much about me. I'm just a simple young lady trying to figure out my ultimate purpose in this world.

Winfour: Napapansin kong marami-rami ka ring readers, ano? At aware ka rin naman siguro sa mga nangyayari ngayon sa wattpad community. 'Yong mga fans na nakikipag-away hahaha. Kung darating man ang panahon na mas dumami pa ang mga sumusuporta sa 'yo, ano ang maaari mong sabihin sa kanila upang maiwasan ang kaguluhan? At bakit mo kailangan sabihin? Hahaha.

Reinn: Never/don't mind those people who keep pulling me down, those who keep on bashing me. People will hate me anyway no matter how good I could be. Basta, we always spread the love because everyone deserves to be love, kahit sino/ano pa man sila.

Winfour: Kung may tatlo kang kahilingan para sa Philippine Literature, ano iyon at bakit?

Reinn: I only have one, at least give those writers a chance, who writes not for fame but rather for their passion. Huwag sanang nilalahat na porke sa isang trending online site nagsulat ay wala nang maibabahagi sa Philippine literature, it takes all the courage bago makapag-sulat despite of the judgmental society we're currently living in. Minsan kasi kung sino pa yung magaling or let's say may katuturan ang bawat sinusulat ay sila pa yung hindi napapansin at naisasawalang-bahala na lamang.

Winfour: May puwede ka bang ipayo sa mga kapwa mo aspiring writers na patuloy na naglalakbay sa mundo ng pagsusulat? Lalim, ano? Hahaha.

Reinn: To never stop writing. And please...please...never write for fame, we write so we could express ourselves not to gain thousands or million of followers but to have ourselves escape the world we're living in right now. For us to be happy, for us to feel that we could actually explore more. For us to feel that magic within and that for us to at least have something we could treasure for the rest of our lives. There will come a time that you feel like giving up because there's no one to read your stories but believe me I've been there, but that doesn't make me stop. Why? Because first, you don't write for anyone, you write so you could lessen somehow the burden in your heart, to somehow share the happiness in your mind and heart and of course to inspire others with your words and for them to appreciate not just life but the people around them.

Winfour: Pawer! Hahaha. Para sa 'yo, paano mo ilalarawan ang literatura ngayon?

Reinn: Hindi maiiwasan ang pagbabago. Change is constant.

Winfour: Technicality o content? Anong mas dapat pagtuunan?

Reinn: content

Winfour: Alam kong issue rin ito ng iba, isama ko na rin sa tanong at nang malinawan 'yong mga may issue sa privacy. Hahaha. For you, paano mo binibigyang halaga at kahulugan ang salitang privacy?

Reinn: To be specific sa writers diba? I don't dig further information, if a writer says it's private then so be it, I'm not someone who'll seek more just so I could enter his/her personal space. I know how to respect someone's privacy.

Winfour: Kailangan ba talaga ng isang unique o mahaba at magandang pangalan ang isang character? Ano sa pananaw mo?

Reinn: No. It depends sa manunulat, yung story naman ang magdadala, if the story is worth remembering and so the characters, no matter how unique or not their names are.

Winfour: Kung magkakaroon ka ng pagkakataong makausap si Jose Rizal, ano ang sasabihin mo? Ako, sasabihin ko sa kanyang I love you, hahaha.

Reinn: Thank you and I'm sorry. Thank you for sacrificing and I'm sorry for sometimes forgetting about his sacrifices in behalf of all the Filipinos.

Winfour: Naniniwala ka ba sa kasabihang 'Write to express not to impress'? Bakit?

Reinn: Yes. Because simply I write to express not to impress. Why? I am someone who write base on how/ what I feel. If I'm sad, if I'm happy...

Winfour: Lastly, ano ang maaari mong ibahagi sa kanila na siyang makapagbibigay ng inspirsyon sa mga mambabasa na hindi ko alam kung may babasa man sa pinagsasabi natin. Hahaha.

Reinn: Again, I started with basically no reader at all around 2013, it's 2017 now, I'm still writing... because if it's really your passion, if it's really about expressing yourself, you won't mind having no reader at all. But of course, I understand you that at some point you wanted someone to appreciate your works, you just have to continue writing and improve more and wait for someone to appreciate those, believe me, even if it take months, may darating diyan para sabihing "I was inspired because of your stories"...Just keep writing, keep your passion and enjoy, don't/never pressure yourself, it's not about competition. Hwaiting!
