ACE AWARD SUPREME - INTERVIEWS

First Place in Poetry, B1

1. What do you, as the writer of your works, like about your book (placed) the most?

1) As a writer its really important to convey the message to readers by putting what you feel into words. And thats what I really like in this poem "Boken Words". I did my best to make the readers feel the poem and I think its really fascinating that how you can convey your feelings to other person just by meaningful touching words.

2. What inspired you to write your book (placed)?

2) So basically I had a really bad heart break and I was really messed up for like 4 months. So yea this poem "Broken words" is specially how I feel or felt.

3. How many books have you written, including the ones you have not completed?

3) I have written many poems but only published two on wattpad.." Broken words" and "My Winter"
And Im still working on my other poems so say tuned!

5. What was the first thing that drove you to start writing?

5) Honestly I always loved reading. Back to those days when I was a kid, I use to read every single book I could find. Thats hows I started my journey with books all around me and I think it's the sound of language that I got attracted to. The special kind of tune that make you feel the feelings behind every character in your life. Moreover this tune would never leave your side till death or maybe continue after death who knows.

8. How long have you been writing?

8) I started writing an year ago when I felt there is no one to listen, I started writing about how I feel. Still today i prefer writing my heart out than explaining whats happening inside me.

10. What was the name of your first work?

10) Well my first work was "My Winter".
I wrote it in memory of someone close to my heart and how I felt about that person but couldn't tell.
I posted it a few months back on wattpad.

11. Do you have any thoughts, any comments you wish to say upon winning in the Ace Awards?

11) I am really grateful to Ace Awards for considering my book, my words and to won third prize. Its really a great pleasure and experience and it really gave me a huge confidence to continue and a great exposure for my books. It maybe a small or simple thing for someone but as they say, "sometimes the simplest things mean the most".

12. What dynamic advice would you give to other authors?

12) I would like to share my opinions to my fellow authors or poets about poetry.
I good poem makes you want to read it again and again, its just that simple and pure. But I also think poetry is something that comes within yourself. And when you look critically at your own work or when you get someone else to look at it, what you really want to know is what are the criticisms that could be labelled at your work. Never take this as a negative move. Always think it as a progress and one step ahead to success. All you have to do is just that you have to analyze your inner self and try to connect with your soul. And try not to give yourself a hard time about your work plus every story is better with a tiny bit of imperfection.

13. At what time are you usually more productive? Why so?

13) I write at night because i have Nyctophillia (not at extreme level). It means an attraction to darkness or night and finding relaxation or comfort in darkness. I know this sounds as if im in depression or I have a disorder but no I just love the calmness and quietness of night and allow me to hear my own thoughts and keeps you away from all the mess happening around you.

14. What would you like to say to your readers as a token of appreciation for reading your book?

14) I am honored to have lovely readers here on wattpad. And I want to thank for taking time and reading my book and supporting my work. I am sincerely grateful for this opportunity and want to thank everyone who helped me. Its wonderful being on wattpad with all loving people. Thankyou!

18. What, according to you, are the disadvantages of writing (if, according to you, there are any)?

18) I don't think there is any disadvantage of writing. I mean what can possibly be wrong with pouring your heart out or writing about your thoughts and sharing your imagination with world. Maybe some criticize your work but never let yourself down, keep fighting, keep trying here are always some people who'll support you. Don't lose hope. Hustle!

20. What are your hobbies, besides writing? Why are they so?

20) I got my hobbies beside reading and writing. I like to dancing, cooking, drawing and painting. These all allow me to express myself in a way I can't do by words. Moreover it helps to de-stress and feel free and at ease with yourself plus you always learn a new thing about your body!

21. What is the inspiration behind the title of your (placed) book?

21) The inspiration behind title of my book "Broken words" was actually my condition or you can say my emotions. I was really feeling low when I wrote this. It was just like one word was connecting other and a whole poem was ready. Its just so magical!

22. Do you find writing to be something you would pursue as a career, or only as a hobby?

22) Honestly I don't think i am that good of a poet and I really like writing as one of my hobbies so lets leave it like this.

24. What would you call good writing, and bad writing? Any examples?

24) According to me a good writing makes readers to read it again and again or to even continue reading i.e. readers find it attractive and could feel the message the author wants to convey. Whereas a bad writing (im not discouraging anyone) readers loses interest or they get confuse about what the author wants to convey. I just said what I think plus I have zero intentions of hurting anyone.
