Interview Book (English)

1) "Name?"

My given first name is actually Raini, but I prefer to go by my middle name Isabella or Izzy.

2) "Age?"

17.

3)" What are your hobbies?"

Dancing, cooking, photography, and writing.

4) "When did you start writing and why?"

I started writing when I was thirteen. I hadn't really written anything creative outside of what was required for school, but after I discovered wattpad, plot lines began to form in my head and I couldn't find any stories that were similar so I began to write them myself. Some of my work from then is still published on wattpad and although I find it horrible, I like to keep it posted to remind me of how far I've come.

5) "Which was your first story generally?"

"There Is No Happily Ever After" was technically my first story, but the original has since been unpublished and the plot line has changed so much its barely recognizable so as of now I consider "Connected" to be my first story.

6) "Do you write in some other website except Wattpad?"

Nope.

7) "What has given you motive to keep on writing?"

I just love being able to put all my thoughts into words and on paper. Being a dancer really helps I think because it taught me to focus on lyrics from a young age so I can get a lot of ideas and inspiration from music I listen to as well.

8 )"Have you ever wanted to give up everything? (writing I mean)"

I haven't ever really thought of giving up writing in particular, but there was one point where I thought about giving up on wattpad.

9) "Which is your favorite story on Wattpad?"

Oh my god it’s so hard to choose!! I have a whole reading list of books I recommend, but one of my favorites that I just finished recently is “Just Keep Breathing” by @Choose_love_H_S

10) "Have you gained any friendship from Wattpad? If yes, which are your Wattpad friends?"

I did have quite a few friends originally when I first started out, but after such a long break from wattpad and such a long time without updating, I haven’t talked to many people in a while. @RainbowsAndMelodies would have to be my number one though, after all, we are writing a book together.

11) "Do you relate with any of your characters from your books? If yes, which one and which characteristics are similar?"

I think there is a small piece of me in every character I write about. For example, Alli from connected is a dancer so I feel like I can relate to her through that. There is one character in particular however, is inspired by me and my personal life, but I'm not going to say...I'll leave the people guessing.

12) "What did you study /are you studying/do you want to study?"

I'm planning on majoring in psychology and leadership next year.

13)" Describe yourself in 3 words."

Happy, committed, and emotional 

14) "What do you advise new writers?"

NEVER GIVE UP!!! It is so important to stick with it if it's what you love because I can say from experience that it takes time to gain support but eventually it will happen. Write from your heart and your own personal experience. Readers will connect more with something that feels real.

15)" Questions based on 'There Is No Happily Ever After ' : How were you inspired to write this story?"

I just had the plot line brewing in my head for so long and I couldn't find any story like it so I had to write it out myself. I actually heard a song that triggered a lot of the story and since then, I've been building a playlist for it.

16)" Who's your favourite character in the book and why? "

My favorite character is definitely Grace. The readers don't really know it yet, but she is such a strong character. I love how strong she is but yet how vulnerable she can be at the same time. Holy moly nobody understands what I'm even saying yet, but let me tell you, I can guarantee she'll be everyone's favorite by the time I am finished.

17)" Have you decided the main storyline and the end of the book? "

Yes!!! For this book, I actually have it all planned out up until around book #4 already, so it's just a matter of putting it into words and getting it put out there. The hard part is all the in between chapters I have to write and come up with. The parts that aren't already mapped out.

18)"If you were asked to publish your book , would you do it?"

Yes! I think that would be an amazing opportunity!! Unfortunately, I don't believe it's one I'll get to have-at least not any time soon.

19)" Usually we see pregancies at the end of a book. Why did you decided to have it at the beginning?"

Like I said before, I have this plot mapped out wayyyyy into the future, so I know it seems like an overload and a lot for the beginning of the story, but that's just what worked out better for the sake of it in the future. I think once I get the next few books finished, I can possibly write a prequel to go before it so it isn't such a jump right in situation.

20)" How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?"

10 Which is way too many, but I like having something else to work on when a case of writers block comes on.

21) "Any spoilers for future plans?"

Oooh... I want to say so much but I can't give it all away!! I will say, no one is prepared for what's to come.

CRITICAL QUESTIONS

1) "How do you deal with this whole pandemic?"

I've just been doing my best to social distance at home. It helps that I am a dance teacher, so if I need a break or a moment away from my family I can go to the empty studio and choreograph. In the free time I have when I'm not working on school work, I'm trying to write more of this book:)

2) " Suggest  to your readers 3 ways to get by these hard times."

1. Wash your hands

2. Listen to what your government officials are telling you to do to stay safe

3. Read my stories on wattpad;)

Thank you so much for your time rainit!!! ❤❤

All the love,
