Interview by armykoyola

Hello, yeah it's me again. Sorry, if I make you read my words again. I was hesitant to write this interview but my friends encouraged me so here I am. I hope you don't feel bored or annoyed reading my thoughts again and again. ♡

● How was your experience of judging in these awards?

Well, if I talk about judging then I got to read some beautiful books. I was on a judging spree while having an award book myself. But I enjoyed this journey.

All because I found myself some beautiful new friends and sisters. I am so happy and honored that I got so much love throughout. And I can't express how happy I feel. It's something I cherish and I will not at all hesitate to give the love and support back.

Thank you to all my friends over here for supporting me so much. I love you all!!

● What's your take on healthy awards or competitions?

So, much has been spoken on this already. And through my award book, you can see my thoughts on how an award or competition I feel should be.

But here I would like to mention one thing which I noticed recently. That is the honesty with which a book is judged. I want to mention it again that we are not JK Rowling or Shakespeare. You are expecting novels straight out of new beautiful authors. It would be great if judges take care of not giving harsh marks as well.

Why mark someone a zero? Even if it's horrible but doesn't deserve a zero. It can break someone's free spirit and determination.
I have seen many judges like me too who give marks with open hearts even if the book is bad. It can motivate someone. Your two motivating lines can build someone.

I remember when my book was once given horrible reviews I broke totally but thank god that I had friends who didn't let me fall and helped to grow up more. But not everyone has it and not everyone talks to everyone. So please be careful of it. That's my suggestion.

Also, do not be biased towards your friends.

● What was the first book you liked after you joined Wattpad? And why?

After getting to know about BTS, I was immediately revealed to Wattpad. And it didn't take me seconds to come here and read the fascinating books.

Honestly, when I first came to Wattpad I only read one-shots. The book Or I should say the author who brought me into reading complete books was @Myknight_V.

"Virgin Pitcher"

This is the one book that made me fall in love with reading actual books here. I don't know how many times I have read it. 25-30, don't know. It was awesome. No one can make any book like that. It's my all-time favorite and I feel extremely sad that the book is gone and I miss the author. I am crying writing this because I miss the author and her books. This was the one that brought me back and made me realize myself. Made me feel lively.

I am an emotional person and my emotions are connected with the book and the author.

Well, after this there was no stopping. I read and read and I love it. Wattpad is my safe place.

● What inspired you to begin writing?

Hardly anyone knows this, but I write articles. But they're all related to my subject. I love writing from when I was in 6th standard. I write diaries about my personal life, I have three such diaries. I write poems too. Two or three people know this. But now I have the courage to reveal this.

I always wanted to write something long but didn't find the motivation or courage. I used to create imagines in my mind but never pen them down.

But when I came to Wattpad I saw authors here writing so many different things. It made me feel that I could also do it. I started writing, started drafting my book. The first book I wrote after coming to Wattpad I never published it. It's still in my drafts.

Then after reading the books of Myknight_V and the way the author used to share their experience daily. This author motivated me to publish my story. And after a lot of thought, I published the first story which is "Maknae smut shots".

I published this because I just wanted to experiment if someone would like my writings and if someone does then I will publish a story. The first stories of one-shots also I didn't publish. The ones that are published are the ones I wrote after getting a hand on how to write.

I read and read and after experiencing and thinking I published the book in September 2021. This is how I got into writing books.

I have some dreams which include writing as a huge part. I hope to keep working on that.

I want to say thank you to those once again who were there with me when I started and you guys are the ones who are why I am here.

● What suggestions would you give to the authors from your journey of writing?

I think I am still a newbie writer. Just a small person who loves to write. But I love to motivate other authors so much. I don't know if I am the right person for suggestions but here are some things I learned in the process which I want to share.

● Please don't get demotivated at any point in time. Because you never know when you will shine, keep working hard for your passion.

● Also, don't feel that you will be judged because no one will. Just write what's in your heart. Trust yourself and believe in your strength. You're the best.

● To polish yourself keep reading. Reading improves how we can improve our writing skills. It's not about getting ideas for a story but polishing the writing skill.

● It's said previously too but I love this thought of keeping the originality.

● If you love posting pictures in between a story don't hesitate even if someone doesn't like it many love it.

● By keeping your originality I meant that you can make common plots beautiful just with your writing skills.

● Add your feelings to the book. This will make it precious. Don't write for just the sake of writing or being famous. But write it for yourself, if you love it then believe it's awesome.

● One thing I learned from BTS and my writing journey is that language is not important. It's just a medium to convey our feelings. So, don't hesitate if starting the grammar is bad too. Because you keep getting better by improving yourself.

I don't remember the exact quote of RM but he said that I am not scared if our song will be loved or not, or how many people will hate us.

I am worried about whether we will stand up to the mark that our army expects us to.

He said I want to keep getting better and keep improving myself because I don't think that now we have achieved this much so no need to improve ourselves.

But I want to keep polishing because I am always learning and there is scope for improvement always.

And while writing this I am remembering all of the BTS members think like this.

I guess that's why they're unique and special.

We can't be them but these things inspire me and I want to keep learning every day of life.
So this is exactly what I would share with my fellow authors and readers.

I am sorry, once again if I said too much but here we go. I just wanted to share my thoughts with you. And if any day you feel demotivated you can talk to me. I will make sure you feel good about yourself every day.

Thank you everyone for being a huge part of my family here. It's special.

I love you❤
