Nagagalak ang RomancePH na ibahagi sa inyo ang aming interview kasama ang isa sa mga winners ng Dear You na si MistyXavy ! Basahin ang kanyang interview at mas kilalanin pa siya bilang isang manunulat sa interview na ito.

1. Ano ang naging inspirasyon mo sa pagsulat ng Scented Nostalgia?

- It is a personal experience, to be honest. Those were the words that I never got to tell that 'person'. I was filled with too many emotions back then since that experience opened a wound in my past that took a long time to heal. I've been trying to put my heart into words until I heard about Dear You, and that's when I made it happen. 

2. Ilang taon ka nang magsimulang magsulat?

- 14 years old pa lang ako no'ng nagsimula akong magsulat. Though I might've started earlier than that without realizing it, I was at that age when I first published my first completed story. 

3. Ano ang paborito mong genre na isulat?

- I love teen fiction. Through teen fiction kasi mas nae-express ko 'yong mga experiences ng young adults and their conflicts while putting some twists. On the other hand, gusto ko rin 'yong fantasy and mystery. I actually love challenging my mind with terminologies and stories that I haven't encountered before. 

4. Ilang beses ka magsulat sa isang buwan?

- To be honest, hindi ko mabilang. I have no fixed schedule for writing. As a communication student, my schedule is all over the place. Pero kapag may vacant time, nagsusulat ako for more than an hour. 

5. May sinusunod ka bang rules sa pagsulat?

- Yes, even though my schedule is packed, I always make sure I follow the rules I've set. One of those rules is to write an outline before writing an entire story, and it'll serve as my guideline. I usually do this para hindi ako maligaw sa magiging takbo ng kwento.

6. Ano ang iyong greatest fear bilang isang writer?

- My greatest fear is writer's block. Most of the time, kapag punong-puno ako ng creative juices, bigla akong magzo-zone out at hindi na maalala kung ano 'yong dapat na isusulat ko. This usually happens to me. 

7. Ano ang iyong greatest pet-peeve?

- Technical difficulty or malfunction. I really get annoyed whenever the draft I've written doesn't save properly. 

8. Ano ang iyong favorite food?

- I love pasta. I am actually a big fan of pasta. Pinaka-favorite ko 'yong lasagna then followed by carbonara and baked macaroni. 

9. Sino ang iyong current celebrity crush?

- DJP! Sobrang mahal ko si Daniel Padilla omg napanood ko na halos lahat ng movie niya with Kathryn Bernardo. Internationally, I really love Park Jimin of BTS. I am actually an ARMY and Jimin is my bias. I just love his voice, the way he dances, and his personality. 

10. Mayroon ka bang mensahe para sa iyong mga mambabasa?

- If someone reads my story/ies, I want to thank you with all my heart. It means so much to me. Even though hindi na ako gano'n ka-active mag-update ngayon, I am trying my best to write and publish a new update. It's taking a little longer, but I know that I'll get to post new updates every day. God knows how thankful I am to have you supporting my work.
