Hi, I can start now.

Okay! So, as an author what's your favorite thing?

Crafting stuff from my imagination which touches other souls even though they will never get the chance to meet my characters in reality. I know they'd forever make a good impact on me and my readers

Nice... Well, what's your favorite genre?

Its poetry.

Nice...I personally love poems. So what is your motivation for writing?

My emotions inspire me to write, thus I get to express feelings I can't say aloud on paper which I regard as my fav therapy.

What are your other hobbies?

Music, movies, & cooking.

Well, that's nice. What kind of movies are your favorite?

Romance.

Who's your favorite author?

Sweetdreamer33.

Lovely so what is your dream job? Do you want to continue writing?

Teaching...and yeah I will continue writing.

Wow, I respect that job a lot!

Good to know.

And what do you love about teaching?

I'm always in a bliss and proud when I see students grow and change physically and academically like helping kids to understand a concept that leads them to another level. Achieving their aim makes me happy I'm like yay It worked!

That's actually a lovely thing! So if you ever meet your favorite author what would you do?

That's crazy, I'm going to be nervous and excited at the same time, hug them if they're okay with that, and ask how the author gets brilliant ideas to write.

That would be a crazy moment, so what's your way of having fun?

Play loud music and dance.

Lastly, I would like to ask you what do you do when you get writer's block?

I just take a break, go for a walk, and even sleep on it. I don't force myself to write! The funny part is mostly when I'm in the middle of taking a shower, ideas start rushing in. It's not about forcing myself to write when I want to rather feel relaxed and a little research on the piece I want to write words starts flowing, that's it.

Oh, that's relatable actually. It's the end of the interview. How was it?

Awesome.

:) Well it's been even more awesome getting to know you, thank you.

You are warmly welcome.
