«Fandoms you write for or stan?
Ans°• I write for BTS. I Stan groups like ITZY, TWICE, MAMAMOO, TXT and many more, but my favourite is BTS.
«How Long have you been writing?
Ans°• I published the first chapter in 2019, but later on deleted Wattpad. But during quarantine I decided to download it back and continue to publish all the chapters (it's still ongoing tho ;p)
«What or who inspired you to start/continue writing!
Ans°• All the top BTS fics! _bangtanlove is my favourite author and I could say that after rereading her books I suddenly had to urge to continue my own story.
«How are your books created. what turns the lightbulb in your head on and produces ideas for your plot?
Ans°• Hmmm think it's when I stayed in an Airbnb in New Zealand with my friends a long time ago. I was inspired by the concept of strangers living together, and wondered if there's a love story among these people? I started to have a story idea in my mind, about two persons living under the same roof. They are close to each other, but had an age gap. Gradually my story was formed when I wrote the script and created the characters.
«How would you describe your procedure of writing?
Ans°• I usually start with writing the dialogue of the characters. Then add the narrative and tidy the overall script. Like any typical writer, I have my fair share of feeling stuck with writer's block!
«Is there anything special that you use to aid you in writing?
Ans•°. I guess... I choose to listen to music? I choose different playlists to listen to based on the scenes and my moods.
«Any tips on writing?
Ans°• Don't force yourself to write. If you're having writer's block just get out of Wattpad. You can try to listen to music, go to Tik Tok or anything to get inspiration. This is so dumb lol, but this tip somehow works :>
«Writers block: A myth or a fact? And if you believe in it what tips do you have for fellow authors to fight it?
Ans•° A fact I guess? Haha.. I think it depends on the everyone. And if you do have writers block like said before, get OUT of Wattpad :3 Relax on your draft and do non- writing activities.
«What have you improved in your writing overtime?
Ans•° I think my grammar & patience have improved! I've also learned to build & develop characters.
«Any advice you wanna give to new or existing authors?
Ans°• I'm not a professional writer, but I'm pretty sure before you start your story instead of the typical 'what is the story about? Who is it about? What will happen?' try planning your story with these questions:
Who is the character? What does the character want more than anything? How can I prevent them from getting it?
Hope this helps!
«Did you face any difficulties during your writing journey. If so, how did you deal with them?
Ans°• I did face alot of difficulties. I always feel unsatisfied about the chapters published and the more i edlt them the more that I feel they are not good enough. ;( So now I'm trying to let it go and focus on the next chapter.
«What are your goals for this story and your account on Wattpad?
Ans°•. I aim to complete the story. Actually I'm really honoured as the winner even in the midst of writing. I'm really thankful for judges to acknowledge my work in progress among other completed stories.
