[INTERVIEW WITH AMAZING FEMALE WRITERS]#1

GOOD EVENING/MORNING/AFTERNOON, I'M SO HAPPY THAT I GOT CHANCE TO INTERVIEWING AN AMAZING FEMALE WRITER evacharya, SHE HAS WRITEN SO MANY AMAZING BOOKS LIKE : FOR JUNE, CHARMING MR STEWART & THE GOD CODEX.

 ⨀ What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?

 The most surprising thing I learned when creating my books is that a story is never set in stone-- and you have to welcome the process of rewriting and rewriting, again and again. Killing your darlings gets easier with each round, but makes a world of difference in the final result. 

⨀ When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

I have always been a storyteller as far back as I can remember, but the first time I thought, 'I want to be a writer when I grow up,' was when I was 12 and still learning to speak and write in English. 

⨀ How do you balance making demands on the reader with taking care of the reader?

 I don't put any demands on the reader, to be honest. I'm just happy to have them. The only thing I'd love to encourage more of is--share your thoughts, leave a comment. Did something make you cry, laugh, touched your heart? Then let us know. We love it when we know something we wrote landed with the reader. The way I'd say I look after the reader is, I try and make my books accessible to most readers, and something that is easy to get through. 

⨀ Do you read your book reviews? How do you deal with bad or good ones?

I always read my book reviews, no matter whether they are good or bad. Good ones give us a little boost to keep going, keep trying, keep getting better. The bad ones hold some truth to them and we might be able to find some nugget in there that can be used to fix a plot hole, a character arc, a line of dialogue, or remove something that doesn't fit as much as we thought it did when we wrote it. For me, reviews are a way to see where I'm lacking or where I'm hitting the marks and what I can change or rework to make the story better. 

⨀ What was your hardest scene to write?

Hardest scene. Depends on the book. There is always one in every book I struggle with, and it's all to do with the emotionally heavy, intense scenes. I'm always worried if I did enough to convey the tension, the pace, the feelings etc. 

⨀ which woman inspires you to be an amazing writer ?

For me, most of the women in the FW30 club here on WP inspire me on a daily basis to do better, to push myself. Other than that, the first woman writer who inspired me in this path was the author, Tess Gerritsen. I discovered her books as a teen and loved them. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING YOUR TIME MA'AM, HAVE A NICE DAY/EVENING/AFTERNOON !
