                                 ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

Q: Fullname.

A: Osunbitan Iyanuoluwa Temilade, but I prefer being called Temilade 😌

Q: Nickname/Pen name/Pseudonym

A:  Iyanuoluwa-Temi or Tem-Tem as my friends call me.

C: Tem-Tem...has a nice kinda vibe
I think I'll call you that😁

C: 😂😂😂

C: 😂😂😂

Q: Okay, okay. Next question: State of Origin?

A: Ijebu-Igbo, Ogun State

Q: Where do you stay?

A: I live in Ile-Ife, Osun state. But I'm currently serving (NYSC) in Ibadan, Oyo State.

C: Oh my, wow! 🥺🥺 That's cool!

C: It honestly isn't all that fascinating, trust me 😂. I can't wait to be done so I can go home.

Q: Age/ Birthdate.

A: 29/11🌚

I won't tell you my age🤫

C: 😂😂😂 no probs.

Q: Next question: when did you start writing in general?

A: I can say the specific age I started writing, but I know I started writing in Primary school, Primary 3 I think. I started with drama actually (those ones that you'll see Act 1 scene 1 and allodat). Then I started prose, in SS1 and that's what I've been writing ever since 😊

Q: Why do you write?

A: Well...

I love to write. It's one of my talents that I know I will follow through to the end. In the earlier parts of my writing years, it was just purely fun for me. Then, I started growing up and realized that writing has always served as a sort of escape for me, from reality. There are times that I'd just feel down and the next thing is that I wish I can enter a fictional word I created, where I know I'd be happy. I don't know if I'm making sense, but...

Writing makes me very happy. I get a lot of emotions from writing.

C: You're making a lotta sense Tem-Tem😌

Q: When did you start writing on wattpad?

C: I started in 2017. But I started with non Nigerian books because I had no idea there were Nigerian books on Wattpad 'til around late 2018.

Q: Can you remember the names of the non-nigerian books you wrote?

A: His Smile and Makaila

C: Hmmmm...okay.

C: 😂

Q: How many books have you published?

A: Six. Five are completed, that's the BTS FAMILY SERIES. I'm on my sixth book, Almost Unfixable.

Q: Your first ever story?

A: Not on wattpad?

I can't remember 😂😂😂

C: Wow...okay😂😂

Q: Your favorite story out of all the stories you've written.

A: It's definitely my Recent one, Almost Unfixable. There is just so much in-store for the readers in the book.

C :  Ohhh...great! I'm sure we all can't wait for it🌚

Q:  Your book - what inspired it? Or books🌚

A: All my books were inspired by God 😊❤️. He's the giver of the inspiration. And I love to touch topics that people don't really talk about in the society, Especially for teenagers. People feel that children are not supposed to be going through things because they haven't "seen the world yet" but that's nonsense. A lot of Children are suffering from a lot of things on a daily basis, but we close our eyes to that fact because the society is grossly flawed. So, that's what I intend to tackle in my books. I need to educate some people on how bad some children are damaged and what we can do to fix everything.

C: Awww...nice🥺🌚👏🏾👏🏾

Q: Next question:Your favorite character in any of your books and which of them do you love the most? Who can you relate with most?

A: Favourite Characters: Hmmmnn... For Beneath the Surface, I'd say Lyla because she was so down to earth and a very loyal friend. Eye of the Storm, Skye. She was both a loyal friend and a very good sister to her twin brother. She did practically everything for him. Stilling the Storm, Khalil. That guy is a sweetheart and was just grossly misunderstood by almost everyone. He's also a lover and he puts Family first in everything. In Almost Unfixable... I'd say Dawn. She's just a complete sweetheart. There is absolutely no way you cannot love her.

Presently, I love Dawn the most over all my favorite Characters and I can relate to her the most. I actually put a bit of myself in her while trying to develop her character.

C: Aww...niceeeeee.

Q: What do you hope to achieve through your writing?

A: Well... I hope to change so many narratives about life and how life works. I hope to change so many narratives in the society as well. I just want to change lives through my writing basically. I want my books to have a positive impact on the society.

C: Wooww🥺🥺

Q: Do you have any favorite Writers on wattpad and non-wattpad writers? Why'd you like them?

A: I honestly haven't read off Wattpad in a lot while so I don't have favourite non-wattpad writers.

But for Wattpad writers, they are a lot. I won't be mentioning their names but all my geng geng, y'all know yourselves🌚. Why I like them? Because they want to change the world through their books like I do. We are just all in sync and we have similar goals ❤️

C: Okayyy. And I know the geng geng you're talking about😌😂

C: 😂😂😂

Q: Lol...okay, so next question: Any favorite wattpad books and non-wattpad books?

A: As at now, my favorite Wattpad book is Too Many Broken Things by Lovetori...

Non-wattpad....hmmmn 🤔, I don't think I have one 😂. Like I said, I haven't read off Wattpad in a long while.

Q: How do you cope with writer's block?

A: I have never dealt with writer's block. Anytime I go off and don't write for a while, that's just me deciding to take a break😂. A little tip; writer's block won't affect you as a writer if you have the plot of your story carefully planned and mapped out before you start writing. All you'll just need to do is follow the sequence of the plot

C: Wow...I've never thought of this before sha...lmaoo.

C: It has honestly helped me and it's still helping me. If you just get a story idea and decide to start without carefully plotting it, It's  either you never complete the book or if at all you complete it, it will have tons of plot holes.

                   <<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>

C: Next Questions are random 🌚 and it's okay if any of them feel personal to you and you don't wanna answer😊

C: Okuurrrr.

Q: Where do/did you school and what course are/did you currently studying/study?

A: I schooled at Redeemer's University, studied History and International Studies.

Q: Would you rather have tea or coffee?

A: Tea... I have absolutely no idea what coffee tastes like.

C: Geez😂😂😂 really????omooo, you need to taste it fam😂😂

C: 🌚🌚 ehn ehn. When I taste it, I'd give you feedback.

Q: 😂😂😂 next question: Favorite food.

A: Pounded Yam and Efo elegusi 🌚🌚🌚

C: Oyaaaa. Give themm🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😂😂😂🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

C: 😌😌😌

Q: Favorite Song(s) and Musician(s)

A: I don't have a favourite song or musician. I'm good with songs that have nice beats, deep messages and all. But I have a soft spot for Alan Walker.

C:  Okayy...the singer of faded abi?🌚  Abi is it fade?😂

C: He's not actually a Singer😂, he's a DJ ...he just mixes peoples songs and gives it a whole new...better feel.

C: Eweeeey😂😂😂😂 I didn't kuku know ohh.

Q: Other Hobbies?

A: I act. I sing and I dance... Yes, I'm very good at all three 😌 (not me hyping myself😂)

C: It's okay to hype yourself oh😂😂😂 and wow, you sing?!

C: Yeahhh, I do... It's a family thing 😂😂😂

C: So cool. I sing too☺️

C:Singers club 😊😊😊

There is another Wattpad writer I know that sings... But I won't tell you her name 🌚. You'll still most likely interview her sef.

(I know the person 🌚🌚 I'm not telling you guys.😌)

Q: If you had the power to change one thing about the world right now, what would it be?

A: Hmmmn... I have the answer to this question but I'd rather not say. I'm sorry ☹️.

Q: What do you have to say to upcoming writers out there?

A: Honestly, Riri already did most of the talking. For Upcoming writers, please try to be as original as possible in your writing. The key to a successful writing career is originality. Let your story be unique. Just because a particular plot worked for a writer doesn't mean it will work for you too. Don't copy other people's work or writing style. Create your own brand. Let people know you for that brand and you'll make waves.

Q: One last question though 🌚 Are you a graphic designer?

A: Yes, I am a graphic designer. I have a flare for anything creative.

C: Okayyy wow!

Thank you for this opportunity, Tem-Tem🌚🌚 it means so much to me that you actually decided to take this interview😊😊😊😊 Thanks again for this. God bless you❤️

C: Awwwn... Thanks for considering me 🤗🤗❤️❤️ Amen... And You too 🤗🤗❤️❤️

C: Always a pleasure Tem-Tem!

            
                <<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>

Tem-Tem writes fire 🔥. For real! Read her books and you'll know. Her passion, enthusiasm, sense of humor, her delivery. . . everything just keeps blowing my mind everyday

Her style of writing is just so different. It stands out. It's original. It's one of a kind and everyone needs to know that.

One thing I also love about this writer is that she's got vibes 🙌🏾 mad vibes. She's able to flow easily with people and make them feel somewhat comfortable.

She mentioned that writing is one of her many talents that she will follow through to the end so y'all should expect more wonderful stuff from her!

I made quotes from her words, they'll be posted after I conclude, as usual.

I hope we all learned something from this interview because I did!

Let me remind you again that, if any of you want an interview with me as an aspiring or upcoming writer, I'm just a dm away. Don't be shy fam☺️

Thank y'all for sticking with me and for following this show. . .I love you guys! God bless you so much❤️❤️😩❤️❤️

Stay safe!
