Meet The Authors Showcase Edition #1 (1 of 3)

A showcase with @bon_kiss, author of Angel's

1 what inspired the idea of your story? 

I was inspired by songs which blossomed into scenarios in my head. The songs I have noted really spoke to me so I started to create a scene for it.

2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story?

I struggled with my own style I created. I wanted to keep it quite experimental as i really wanted to keep the songs present. This allowed for the chapters to directly speak to one another or to stand alone. Most chapters are the rough length of the song and have tone shifts roughly coordinated with the song. Also the blackness of my protagonist was a struggle because it went against everything I understood as good writing I wanted it to be playful and allow a reader to step into that position without the pronoun of You or Y/N being used.

 3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story? 

I enjoyed the freedom and the playfulness. I enjoyed discovering new music. I enjoyed addressing some themes that really effect me personally.

4 what's the overall response of your story from your writers?

Overall people seem to like it. It's not popular at all but a few people have read it all the way through. They liked it.

 5 is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series ?

At the moment it's a stand alone but I do have more songs that I can see stories fitting well with. It's if people want it.

 6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?

Just have hope. Take a chance. Feel things. Question them. Just that sort of thing.

 7 what advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to focusing on their own story? 

For me it's a playlist that's what got me to finally complete it. A playlist for the music in the chapter or music that summarises the whole vibe of your story.

8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself? 

yes and no. My character is an everyman/woman but her story is very similar to my own. The story reflects my relationships but plays with them to avoid cliche but still be fantasy.

9 what is something about your story you believe would draw in  new readers?

I think new readers would like it's almost uniqueness as many warped story's almost read the same. This is experimental and arguably it's fun.

 10 do you have any future projects?

Yes at the moment I am having a love hate relationship with writing my story mango smoothies which is a quite cliche romance novel and is much more traditional in style. People seem to like it. I am just so busy and I cant relate to the protagonist at all so we will see.
