1. What do you, as the writer of your works, like about your book (placed) the most?
A. I like the fact that many of my readers relate to my works in some ways, to some extent.
2. What inspired you to write your book (placed)?
A. Passion to write and the urge to jot down my feelings was the main reason that the idea of writing my book came into the foray.
3. How many books have you written, including the ones you have not completed?
A. I've completed three books on Wattpad and published one book as paperback available for buying. I'm currently working on two other poetry books for publishing on Wattpad.
4. What inspired/inspires you to write?
A. The intent to see my works read by others, the passion to jump from being an aspiring author to a published author and the view that my readers may relate to my work, as mentioned hitherto inspires me to write. Besides, nature and other literary works also inspire me.
5. Do you get writer's block frequently? If so, what do you do to combat it?
A. I get writer's block many times, if not frequently. And the way I combat it is to think of it as an illusion. A good writer always writes, no matter 'what' or 'how much.' And when I keep writing, ideas flow incessantly.
6. How long have you been writing?
A. Now it has been five years since I first began writing.
7. Does your writing reflect your own thoughts intimately, or are you detached to some extent?
A. My writing certainly reflects my own thoughts, inner views and voice.
8. What was the name of your first work?
A. Ashes of Elixir: Lyric Poetry (book)
9. Do you have any thoughts, any comments you wish to say upon winning in the Ace Awards?
A. It's the first time any of my works have won an award on Wattpad, and I'm grateful. And I really appreciate all the readers of my works, and even the judges for seeing my book as worthy.
10. What do you like the most about writing? Why do you like it?
A. For me writing is more than merely scribbling on pages or expressing views. It's a therapy, and my words are like my therapists. Writing always helps me escape when reality irks. That's what I like most about writing.
11. Do you have anything to say to motivate your readers who wish to become an author like you?
A. Simply saying- keep writing and reading. Writers are readers, and readers are leaders. Don't be afraid of clichés. The more you write and practice, the more you develop the skill to turn clichés into something distinctive.
12. What are your hobbies, besides writing? Why are they so?
A. I am solely devoted to writing. But as every other living person, I like music a lot, though I'm more of a listener than a singer.
13. Do you find writing to be something you would pursue as a career, or only as a hobby?
A. I am convinced to pursue writing as a career and not merely a hobby. In fact, I've begun my initial stages to develop my career as I've recently published a poetry book.
14. What would you call good writing, and bad writing? Any examples?
A. According to me there's no such thing as good writing or bad writing. There's no such thing as a good writer or a bad writer. Someone who has been writing for a long time surely is skilled and proficient than someone who has just commenced. And the more someone writes, the more skilled one becomes. So, there's experienced writing and inexperienced writing.
15. Give us a small description of yourself!
A. Starting with my name, let's just say you can apparently call me 'Fallen Poet'. I am 16, he, and an Indian. Obviously, I love to read and write. I intend to be a well-published author. I think that's it.
