1) "Name?"

Shiya.

2) "Age?"

16.

3)" What are your hobbies?"

I absolutely love reading books, painting stuff, singing along with songs, watching the game of cricket and beautiful sunsets

4) "When did you start writing and why?"

I never intended to take up writing seriously. It happened all of a sudden- I was on a high dosage on Instagram stories written by @AliviaSaha and I just really wanted to write one. But now, I am glad that I started writing.

5) "Which was your first story generally?"

It was my Instagram (feat. Liam Payne) if we exclude the numerous hurriedly written short stories on the english paper.

6) "Do you write in some other website except Wattpad?"

I adore wattpad. So, no.

7) "What has given you motive to keep on writing?"

We all have that one reader whom we want to read our chapters once we publish it. Fortunately, I have gained two of them - @euphoric_void and @mrsconfusedhoran. Their comments which they leave on almost everyline and their honest reviews motivate me. Sometimes, it goes to the extent of messages on the mb or even phone calls !

8 )"Have you ever wanted to give up everything? (writing I mean)"

If I'd say no, I'd be lying. Everyone has gone through the phase where you would want to delete everything. But I'm glad I did recover from it soon.

9) "Which is your favorite story on Wattpad?"

I am not going to say any book with millions of reads but those books which made me smile a million times - Fanaa by @shadesofmannie , Reminiscence by @mrsconfusedhoran and @AliviaSaha 's Instagram stories

10) "Have you gained any friendship from Wattpad? If yes, which are your Wattpad friends?"

I am really thankful for Wattpad which was given me amazing and equally crazier friends. To name really close ones - @mrsconfusedhoran @euphoric_void @exquisite_22 @AliviaSaha @shadesofmannie @Shuffling93 @midnight_rambler_sam @feather_gatherer and @_ashhalfabluesky

11) "Do you relate with any of your characters from your books? If yes, which one and which characteristics are similar?"

One character I can relate at a spiritual level is Hardik, who is as dirty minded as his author. He finds a way to make every statement dirty.

12) "What did you study /are you studying/do you want to study?"

I am in my first year of junior collage - and i really wish to become a doctor

13)" Describe yourself in 3 words."

Lazy, Crazy and Loud.

14) "What do you advise new writers?"

Just write it out - even when you are not in your zone. a sentence, a paragraph should work too. you can also edit those out later. but don't stop writing

15)" Questions based on ' Instagram ( ft. Liam Payne) ' : How were you inspired to write this story?"

As I said already, @AliviaSaha 's Instagram stories are the only reason. [ if we exclude liam's hotness as a reason ; ) ]

16)" Who's your favourite character in the book and why? "

It has to be liam, honestly. the kind of relationship he has with the main lead is genuine. he is stubborn yet very caring. even though he is crushing on her a little bit, he doesn't have any bad intentions and that raises the bar for an ideal boyfriend/ boy bestfriend

17)" Have you decided the end of the book? "

No, I haven't decided it yet - purely because, i never want it to end as it is associated with many important events in my life

18)"If you were asked to publish your book , would you do it?"

Honestly, no. It is a social media fanfiction and i want it to stay in wattpad as the same.

19)"Which is your favourite a) funny, b) dramatic, c) romantic, d) sad scene in the book, until now?"

a. there is this part where zaira and liam go shopping and they make useless puns on food, pull the trolley hear and there, argue whether to buy chocolates or not. it just gives me the feel as if they were married and they have these funny banters out there in the market.

b. dramatic has to be associated with zaira's best friend, virat. there is one scene where he almost tries to hit liam for not answering the phone call.

c. no romantic scenes yet, though there is one scene in my draft where liam sings her the song 'little things' and writing that scene made my heart flutter.

d. the scene where zaira opens up to liam about her past.

20) " A phrase or a scene that you write and you'll never forget.(and why)"

i had fun writing about liam's eyes - "the flicker from the lighter illuminated his face, specks of his brown colored irises turning golden and then diffusing into dark brown when the lighter was switched off. or "Little was he aware of those diminutive auburn specks in his irises which could make any girl fall for him."

writing about stars was my second favourite- "So far and wonderful they are, he wondered, yet stays in the silent sky only with the moon as company to chatter with about the earthly gossips - this phenomenon is described as twinkling of stars by the Oxford English dictionary and the dumb people who didn't know to appreciate the beauty of the mother Earth." or "Far out there, the stars seemed to warble out lullabies for its children who were tossing and turning over the mattresses fearing the imagined monsters - stars had no holidays or whatsoever. "

This statement lingers in my mind always- If she thought that he was vanishing within the smoke with each puff she took, she was completely wrong. Instead she lost herself in it.

and i am fortunate enough to pen down this phrases which sound amazing in my ears.

21) " How much time did it take to plan the whole plot? Are we near the end?"

Nearly six months? or it can be more than that. and fortunately for me, we aren't nearing the end

22)" How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?"

I have 4 books - wanderlust and instagram about the indian cricket team and also a Larry Stylinson book.

23) "Any spoilers for future plans?"

We are soon going to have a baby in the book. It'll be cool if you have some good names suggested here.

24)" Are you planning to publish a sequel?"

Sequel is a strict no-no. But who knows, rules are meant to be broken right?

CRITICAL QUESTIONS

1)"What’s the best type of cheese?"

I am not a big fan of cheese. The only time I ate them was in a pizza and i ended up puking it.

2)"What’s the best inside joke you’ve been a part of?"

There are millions of inside jokes but the best has to be the sexual ones - I'd rather say the cleaner one, the 69. the number which speaks for itself

Thank you so much Shiyax!!❤❤

All the love,
