A showcase @AshtenSpilker, author of Keeper of the Flame
1 what inspired the idea of your story?
My story was heavily influenced by Greek mythology. I have loved it since I read Percy Jackson in fifth grade. So, the world is shaped around a Greek mythology feel.
2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story?
I struggled a lot with confidence. I worried that my ideas sucked and no one would like them. I'd find it hard to continue writing a chapter because I would become discouraged.
3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?
The creativity that flows out of me. I honestly feel so excited when new ideas pop up. It's so rewarding to get this whole world I created into words.
4 what's the overall response of your story from your readers?
It has been super positive! I have a very loyal reader base. They comment, vote, and interact. I have a snapchat for the book, and some of my readers follow that as well. They are so supportive and I absolutely love interacting with them.
5 is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series ?
Oooo, that's a surprise. I can't reveal that.
6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?
That it's okay to be a strong woman. You don't have to be dainty. You can be sarcastic and out spoken and still be liked!
7 what advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to focusing on their own story?
From a writing stand point, have fun with it. If you aren't having fun, then what are you doing? Your book is a formulation of your ideas. Be passionate about them and it will show. From a gaining a fan base stand point, interact with your readers. Respond to their comments, thank them for their votes, and make sure they know you appreciate them.
8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?
Actually, she does. Agni is based heavily off myself. We're both very out spoken and sarcastic individuals. The only difference is that I'm very comfortable with showing emotions, and our girl Agni isn't.
9 what is something about your story you believe would draw in new readers?
How unique it is. There isn't another story like it. I was reading a lot of books and found myself bored. I felt like I was reading the same thing over and over again. Keeper of the Flame is not like other books. The story is completely original.
10 do you have any future projects?
Once again, that's a secret.
