● How was your experience of judging in the Just One Day Awards? 

It was an amazing journey to judge in the awards. I loved reading the books allotted to me and also, the way the awards were so smoothly handled, deserves appreciation!

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

Firstly, the host should conduct the awards at a smooth pace and secondly, the judges assigned should read the book thoroughly, not just for judging sake, and give descriptive reviews and point out the flaws so that the participant can improve. Also, participants shouldn't argue amongst themselves regarding the results. If anything is wrong they should contact the host rather than playing a virtual war in the awards comment section.

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

The first book I liked after I joined Wattpad was "Hey Eomma, Hey Appa" by one of my very good friends SongYeEun2500 because that book had such a soft, cute yet emotional feel, filled with a sprinkle of sci-fi plot. It was definitely a good read and we became good friends while I was reading that book. Hence, that book means a lot to me.

● What inspired you to begin writing? 

I used to read a lot of YouTube Fanfictions, webtoons, novels, mangas, manhwas and I somehow felt that I can also write, seeing those authors making such beautiful stories. I guess that's how I started writing.

● What suggestions would yougive the authors from your writing journey? 

Haha this is a tricky question. I'm not a great writer myself, how can I give suggestions to others? Leave greatness, I don't even like to call myself an "author" because there's a long way to go.

But from my experience since writing for two and half years I can only say, just always remember one thing– our stories are just a bunch of mere words, we have to read, observe and research a lot to make it a masterpiece.

Also, somebody said this to me once: "For being a good writer, you need to be a good reader first."

There's always a room for improvement, no matter how good the story appears. That's how we brush ourselves as a writer.
