DedSyl

Tori, from CLN, had the honor of interviewing, DedSyl   DedSyl is the author of several books on Wattpad including SOTUS: Even in the past, present and future, I'll still love you, A single night and several more.

Let's proceed with the interview!What is your name or pen name that you would like to be called?

My pen name is DedSyl

It's very nice to meet you, DedSyl! You have been nominated for this interview by @InfinityLM44 because, and I quote, "she is the best WRITER" 

It's wonderful to see how much your readers enjoy your stories! What made you first pursue writing?

Nice to meet you too! I am overwhelmed to read her comment. I am happy that some like my stories and will always be grateful to them I read a story the outsiders 12-13 years ago in school. I love the book so much that I found my inspiration to bring words on paper to make readers happy just like the author of that book gave me happiness

That is some great motivation! It's always great to see authors wanting to bring a smile to their reader's faces. We definitely need them. 

Do you remember the day you published your first story? Could you share your experience with us?

Thank you. Every reader want to make their readers think about their stories and love itI don't remember it clearly because it was more than 5 years ago but I know that it's a story of the side couple Ngern and Pete in Lovesick (A Thai bl series). My English was not good that time (It's still not good enough) but I tried to write in English to reach a broader audience. It took long to gather my courage to update it. I remember that I was scared and sad that no one read it but I still had hope that it'll get better and days after days the view readers came to read it and leave their comments. I am an impatient person but you can't be impatient as a writer because your stories can disappear among thousands of other updates. You have to wait for the readers to find your story and not the other way around. That's the experience that I had back then

That is very inspiring. It is often very difficult to make it in the beginning. A person must have patience and dedication to withstand this.I can see you definitely have that! 

Aside from those two, what would you say is the most important quality in a writer, and why?

You are right! It's not easy to write and you need some aspects to withstand it. The most important quality in a writer? That's the love writers have for their stories. I always say that my stories are like my children that I need to bring to this world. I know it sounds crazy but writing a story is like a pregnancy. You will go through some symptoms during pregnancy. With that I mean you have to think what you want to write, the genre, the plot, the characters and many more. It takes time to develop a story and write it.The time to update it is like a birth where you'll be scared and think if everything will be alright. After you have updated it, you'll be scared but feel free and relieved when everything went smoothly. Still you need to take care of it, update it whenever you have time and complete it someday. I don't know if it sounds alright for me to say it but a writer has to love a story and feel the bound with their readers because you have to communicate with them to know if they like it or not.

That is a beautiful analogy! I never thought of it that way but I definitely understand what you mean! A book is often an authors baby. 

You have quite a few stories published. Is there any you feel a particular bias towards?

I know everyone thinks different about their stories but my stories are my children that I cherish. Yes I feel biased toward 2 stories. It's the bodyguard story that is incomplete but will have to pick it up soon. The 2nd story is the new one, A single Night
