Why do you write?

it's my escape from my reality. sometimes the truth that you face on a daily basis can be very stressful, hence the ability to form a parallel world of what ifs relieve me from the aforementioned stress. perhaps that's why i have a soft spot for cliches.

Out of all your stories, which one is your favorite?

i don't really have a favorite tbh. this is going to sound like such a mainstream answer, but that's the truth. i can't choose. i feel like my stories show different prospects of my thoughts, emotions and creativity

How do you create your characters?

they are absolutely out of nowhere. like for instance, in my very first book on wattpad, saving grace, Alyssa was created after i read a few books on good girls and bad boys stories and i got frustrated because i couldn't find a bad girl main character. and jenna was shaped after i did a personality quiz and it struck me. why not make a character that resembled me? but at the same time, i exaggerated her character to make her seem more of the "love to hate" character i had in mind after reading about so called "head slutty cheerleaders". i've always liked my characters to be like those who are usually wronged in books.

Out of your characters, which one are you the most like?

Jenna Eshal, just tone down the snarkiness by a lot ahahah

What do you do when you have writer’s block?

i just distract myself from the book and pay attention to something else. i've come to realize that it's usually the smallest of things, for instance, seeing my dad fixing a pipe could get me going haha.

How do you plan out your stories?

that's the thing. i don't to be frank. i mean, yeah, sure i have the rough draft but i usually just plan it out whenever i get the wave of ideas that hit me. writing is something i cant force or else it will end up badly, which is a good and bad thing.
