Spotlight Author: @LovelyBurns


So... Who the hell are you? Give us five random - though of course, nothing is truly random - facts about yourself.

What could I tell you? I don't really like talking about me, I never know what to say...

I live in France, but my parents are indian and vietnamese.

Funny fact, some people can tell that I'm not entirely Indian when they look at me, but it's really few people...

I have two little brothers, one of them strickly don't look like me at all. He really has a white skin (like my father when he was young) contrarly to me.

I've never weared spectacles (apart sunglasses) and I'm an optician...

When I have free time, I directly go to see what's new on Wattpad x) (I seriously don't know what to say about me sorry ><)


What did you want your schoolyard nickname to be?

Sharmi. Pretty simple, I know XD


When you were a young padawan, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A doctor ! Like most children of my age, I was no exception !


Other than writing and/or reading, what hobbies do you have?

I play cello when I have time. I was also in a choir, but stopped it because of studies. Maybe one day, I will sing again in a choir or somewhere else, that was a nice experience and I found out that I liked singing !

At the moment, I'm trying to draw... I would draw a lot when I was in highschool but I don't know, I just stop when I began studying medecine. Now I'm trying to do some portraits again.


As your crew cast your lifeless body into the core of the nearest star, list three pieces of music likely to be rattling the bulkheads.

First, I should have done something really nasty to them...

Second, I don't listen to musics a lot. Just the commercial ones that you can see on tv but I'm not searching for new songs to hear when I'm free. I have a sad life I know...

I can still talk about some musics that I listened not long ago like Bad Girls by Lee Hyori, Poupée de Cire Poupée de Son by France Gall, Highway to Hell by AC/DC. (I was nostalgic XD)

Who is your all-time favourite author? Why is that?

There are too many authors that I like ! Hard question, all authors have a different way to give readers some emotions. I'm an avid reader, so even though their writing styles are different, I can like many authors... I'm not original, I will choose Robin Hobb.


Of everything you have written, what is your favourite?

Hard question ! I would say my first story ever written : La Promesse – Hestia. (I'm actually doing a translation on WeLovelyBurns' account.) A revenge story with werewolves, sorcerers, angel, auras, and bloods.


...and what is your fans' favourite?

Haha La Promesse – Hestia certainly since it's the story which have the most views. But I try writing in different genres. I wrote a story with a character with amnesia and it had quite a success. A good surprise for me !


Do you use real life experiences to influence your writing?

Yes ! One of my story written takes place in Paris, so when I went to a bar, I will post a chapter about it, I went to the place Trocadéro where you have a good view of the Eiffel Tower then I wrote about it.


If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Traveling into time ! That would be so awesome !


Is there a particular moment in history that you would change if you could, regardless of the consequences?

Only one moment ? People did so many mistakes in the past (and will certainly continue). Seriously I don't know, there are too many moments that shouldn't have happened like the WW...

And something else more personal. I had an aunt I never got to met because she died before I was born. I so would love meeting her and so stop the suicide she commit.


The Technological Singularity presents a rather daunting, some say inevitable, future. Does the prospect of that level of Artificial Intelligence excite you, or make you quake in your boots?

Both actually ! I mean that would be so freacking awesome to have AI living. But scary if they have enough intelligence to take over humans and the world (and other worlds, who knows...).


The Earth is, at some point, gonna' die. There's nothing we can do about it, certainly not realistically and definitely not with our current technological level. Of all the things that could possibly destroy our homeworld though, which do you think is the most likely and why?

I don't think it would be war. Wars exist since forever and we are still here. Maybe a big meteorit or something else natural and not an object done by humans.


Who was your first Sci-Fi crush..? Who is your current one? (by this, we're talking about a character in a book/game/movie/show)

Doctor Who, the one and only one ever.


Fan Fiction is a little bit like Marmite, you either love it or you hate it. On which end of that scale do you sit?

Well, I only read them because I have to (the story was written by a friend, or I have to as a wattpad ambassador). But if it's well written, I will see the fanfiction as a story with his own characters and enjoy reading it. If it's only to have a romance between two popular characters that the author wanted together and was not in the original story, I will just toss the story and find something else to read. But generally, if it's well written, I will read it entirely. I'm not pretty difficult with stories; I like reading so even if it's a world or characters that I already know, I can read and discover in the way a new author with a nice and different writing style.


You're a low-ranked crewman on an intergalactic cruiser. It pays well enough but it's not the most exciting job in the 'Verse. Drinking one night whilst on shore leave you find yourself deep in conversation with the leader of a band of space pirates. What do you do next?

I continue drinking and listening to the leader. And slowly I will make him drink more than me and be sure that he will take me in his band of space pirates x)


Now this one might prove to be a bit of a shout-out to a fellow Wattpadder, but that's no bad thing if you ask me! If you could experience the world of any science fiction book on , first hand, which world would that be and why?

On Wattpad ? Ugh, don't know. I have some french scifi stories in mind. Specially, SandrineBandura's world on her « Le Trèfle d'Aurore ». But it's been quite some times that she didn't post the next chapter :p I really liked this story's world for sure.


And finally, any words of wisdom for new and aspiring writers?

Write everything YOU like ! That's what I did, and I'm so glad I got the chance to find this platform and share stories that I would never really share because I was scared of what other people will find on my stories. Because it's true, there are a lot of author's thoughts in a story, and I'm no exception. So sharing scenes that come up in our head to the world is as awesome as scary. But on Wattpad, everyone is almost at the same level and write to share (or at least have to share on Wattpad to have a success and got an editorial contract with a publishing house).

Sincerely, even if you don't have a lot of views when you post one, two, three chapters, there will definitely be more readers and fans when you will post 10 chapters. Just do not give up. That's the key.

If you like writing, then write. Don't stop because of some critics or because you don't see people comment on your story. It's something that come with some times. Just keep writing because you like the story you're writing :)
