The Author Behind The Story

Interview with @mskeiya (Mis-Taken Identity)

Introducing... mskeiya

What is your Wattpad username?
mskeiya

what is the title of your winning book(s)?
Mis-Taken Identity

When did you get the idea to write your winning book?
I was actually trying to branch out from the romance realm that I find myself comfortable in.

Are there any special dedications for your book?
Not yet

How old were you when you began writing this book?
36

How many drafts of this story do you have? If applicable, will you continue to rewrite? If applicable, do you think you will do a rewrite if you haven't already?
I rewrite or edit my stories constantly, most of the time it's grammatical but sometimes an idea will pop up to change a part of the story.

What is one reason why you believe everybody should check out your book?
I'd love everyone read to help me hone my story. It's a short 10 chapters and hopefully leaves the reader satisfied in the end.

If someone were to offer you a publishing deal tomorrow, would you take it? Would you still leave your work for us to admire on wattpad?
I would do both! I wouldn't be interested in publishing without my readers!

When writing, do you have a plot in mind, or do you write it on the fly, as you come up with it?
I'm a general idea then write as I go, I have plenty of stories that went a whole different angle than I had originally thought and usually for the better.

What, if anything, do you do to help yourself concentrate when writing?
Music, lots of it!

What is the best piece of advice that you can give other writers?
When you get stuck, take some time and read a story that interests you. Sometimes that break helps jar something loose.

This could get very weird very fast, be honest, what, exactly, were you doing when you learned you won first place?
I just woke up to use the restroom

What was your reaction when you read that you won?
OMG!!!!!!🤯🤯🤯 whaaaaaat?!?! No way!

Do you have anything to say to your fellow genre competitors?
You guys are awesomely amazing!

Is there anything else about yourself or your writing that you would like to add?
Thanks for reading and don't hesitate to contact me 😊 and shameless plug for my other stories.
