1) "Name?"

Diya.

2) "Age?"

15.

3)" What are your hobbies?"

I like to write and read (that is probably obvious), doodle (I don't know if it's a hobby?), Sing (though I'm a very horrible singer) And I actually like watching Anime and cartoons in my spare time even though it might sound weird.

4) "When did you start writing and why?"

I think I started writing stories ever since I learnt how to form English sentences. I was inspired by this kid's anime where they used to write Mangas so I thought I'd write comics too, and I thought it was fun.

5) "Which was your first story generally?"

Honestly, I don't really remember. As I said, I used to write and draw comics with a friend ever since I learnt English. But recently, I found a very old book of mine in which I'd written a comic. So I think that was my first story ever? It was about a superhero who was illiterate but nevertheless wanted to erradicate blind fate and stuff like that. I might as well say that it was really cringey.

6) "Do you write in some other website except Wattpad?"

Nope. And I don't even think I will. Wattpad has always been so supportive of young and amateur writers and that's what I like the most about it.

7) "What has given you motive to keep on writing?"

The happiness I get through writting is immeasurable. I've always loved writing and didn't really care about people's opinions. And that's what keeps me going. My happiness and joy.

8 )"Have you ever wanted to give up everything? (writing I mean)"

Not generally. But yeah, I did think of giving up writing on Wattpad. I know I'm not that great of a writer and my writing is cringeworthy. Though this fact keeps me away from writing during my low times, I don't let it affect me that much because I know I'll improve eventually.

9) "Which is your favorite story on Wattpad?"

Wow, there are so many. To list some of em, Storm and Silence series by @RobThier, The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield by @ninyatippett, I Sold Myself To The Devil For Vinyls.... Pitiful I Know by @DarknessAndLight and Pause series by @CJ_Adler

10) "Have you gained any friendship from Wattpad? If yes, which are your Wattpad friends?"

Oh yes. Definitely. I never thought I could meet so many amazing people here. I would've never imagined that most of my closest friends would be from Wattpad. I don't think I need to tag them. Those witches already know who they are.

11) "Do you relate with any of your characters from your books? If yes, which one and which characteristics are similar?"

Yes. I try to leave some of the perks that I've got into my characters. I leave pieces of my personalities in all of my characters. For instance, Ruby can't stop caring about things, just like me. Cynthia is the rarer part of me where I act carefree and try to live my life to the fullest even though I do have some sadness within me.

12) "What did you study /are you studying/do you want to study?"

Currently I'm in 10th grade. My interest really piqued in psychology when I started watching Brain Games and all those stuff on Discovery Science, History TV 18 and all those TV channels. I'm fascinated by human brain in general. So I might go for Psychology even though my whole family is into Finance. I might figure it all out by the end of this year.

13)" Describe yourself in 3 words."

Firm, Stubborn and Kind.

14) "What do you advise new writers?"

Read your drafts. If you feel you are interested in reading your own story, then chances are others wouldn't be interested either. And don't give up. Remember every successful writer was once an average writer who didn't really get recognition. And most importantly, love what you do.

15)" Questions based on ' I'm Over You  : How were you inspired to write this story?"

Some real life experiences inspired me to write this book. I don't really think I'm comfortable sharing the experience, but what I would give out is that the male protagonist is based on a guy I used to have crush on since first grade. (I don't have a crush on him anymore.)

16)" Who's your favourite character in the book and why? "

I think my favourite character is Cynthia beacause she's carefree and easygoing. She's the rare part of me and I would always like to cherish her.

17)" Have you decided the end of the book? "

Yes I have. Honestly, the end was decided even before all the events and plot.

18)"If you were asked to publish your book , would you do it?"

I don't think so. There are many grammatical mistakes and plot holes in this book. But if all of these is fixed, I don't really have a problem with that.

19)"Which is your favourite a) funny, b) dramatic, c) romantic, d) sad scene in the book, until now?"

a) when Cynthia starts a food war in the class. Another scene is when Ruby's Dad mocks her step-mother.

b) I think when she says a lot of bad stuff to Tyler just because she acted on a spurt of temporary anger, which really upsets him.

c) It is yet to come!

d) the chapter which gives us a peek of her past is the saddest till now.

20) " A phrase or a scene that you write and you'll never forget.(and why)"

"I dare you to do what your first instinct says. Don't think over it too much, because then you'll end up doing something you'll regret your whole life."— this is from the latest chapter and I keep telling myself this exact thing because I'm an overthinker and generally what the first instinct says is always correct for us. But I get too scared to do that and keep thinking, then end up doing something that I don't really want to just to please others.

21) " How much time did it take to plan the whole plot? Are we near the end?"

This idea popped in my head ever since I was writing my first book. I had already known what to write, but it took me a lot of time to actually pen it all out. It was all perfect in my head, but I faced some challenges while writing the whole thing down.

22)" How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?"

Uh... I have 15 drafts. I am not even sure if all of them are gonna make it through. I probably combine two ideas in one book and stuff like that to make my next works more interesting and readable.

23) "Any spoilers for future plans?"

After I finish I'm Over You, I'm going to take a break from writing books for a year till my school finishes. But I'm going to publish a random book called "Carving Beautiful Memories" which is completely random and a fun concept I'm looking forward to publish.

24) " Choose- 'challenge' two writers that you want to know about to do this interview like you."

@riya_thewriter and @Shiyax

CRITICAL QUESTIONS

1) " What’s the best Wi-Fi name you’ve seen?"

Connected, No internet.

2) "What fictional character is amazing in their book / show / movie, but would be insufferable if you had to deal with them in mundane everyday situations?"

Mr Ambrose is seriously amazing from the Storm And Silence series written by Sir Rob, but damn, I would never want to deal with that man with granite for a heart and expressionless face in my everyday life. I think I'll kill myself before I could convince that skinflint to give me even a penny.

Thank you so much exquisite_22!!❤❤

All the love,
