1 are you still surprised when you get a new vote, follow or comment?

Yes, I still am, especially if they come from someone I have never interacted with before. I try my hardest to reply to every comment I get because I want to encourage this transparency between me as the author and my readers as my supporters. 

2 what is one Wattpad goal?

 I don't have any. I just want to have fun and support awesome writers while improving my writing skills. 

3 who is your favorite author?

 My favorite author ever was also a poet. His name is Sapardi Djoko Damono and he sadly passed away last year. His poem "Rain in June" inspired one of the many chapters in my book Looking for Hope. 

4 what's a song you enjoy? Who is the artist?

 I like the song "No Matter What" by Callum Scott. 

5 what's the best way to handle a bully?

A bully is someone who is insecure inside and tries to cope with that insecurity by looking down on others. I will ignore them but if they keep bugging me I will ask them what their real problem is (because I know I am not the problem) and I will listen.

6 what's your favorite thing about Wattpad?

 I love that on Wattpad you can join communities and have different roles in each. I am a part of a wonderful community and I have been helping with an Award, which is is an amazing way to read more cool books and get to know more writers. I have been judging poetries, teen fiction, and young adult books. 

7 what's your schedule regarding your writing?

I don't have a schedule. I write whenever I can. 

8 how would you celebrate a publishing deal ?

If I ever get a publishing deal I would call my mom and then I would hug my partner and then I would buy myself KitKat and watch a Studio Ghibli movie. Then when my partner is free I would dress up nicely and take him out to get his favorite eel rolls at our favorite restaurant. He has been great at loving me unconditionally as I work on my writing project. 

9 what's your favorite snack?

 I like anything chocolate-flavored. This includes Chips Ahoy and pretzels dipped in Nutella, of course. 

10 what's your favorite holiday and why?

I  like Thanksgiving because it means spending time with my mom-in-law and she makes the best sweet potato pie.

11 if you could hang out with your favorite celeb for a day, who would you choose and what would you do?

I would like to spend a day with Rupert Grint and we would eat ice cream while re-enacting his funniest scenes as Ron Weasley. 

Request time

I  have a book of poetries called An Anthology of Frenzied Ruminations. All the poems are inspired by haiku, which is a Japanese style of writing three-line poetry in 5-7-5 syllables. My poems explore the theme of coming to terms with one's true identity (including one's sexuality and gender expression). You should read it if you believe love is love and that love will always win.
