INTERVIEW WITH: @riveraaa_88 :)

Me: What's behind your username?

riveraaa_88: No typical fangirl stuff, I like Brent Rivera andandand I love this name 'riveraaa' and '88' was my roll number in 8th grade. Moreover, riveraaa_88 is amazing as a pseudony, I hope. ._.

Me: What country are you from?

riveraaa_88: Bangladesh.

Me: Why did you join Wattpad?

riveraaa_88: My classmate wrote some short stories and sent me links a few months ago, and I signed up and read, getting introduced to Wattpad for the first time.

Me: What was it like when you first started writing?

riveraaa_88: I used to write often in my diary but never thought of publishing them, but after I started writing on Wattpad initially, it was quite a nice experience as the feedbacks from readers were inspiring!

Me: Where do you get your ideas from?

riveraaa_88: Mostly from my life, though. Most of my stories are inexperienced by me, but the feelings are deeply related to me and I hope I can express them out quite well by my writing.

Me: How do you deal with Writer's Block?

riveraaa_88: Nice question! +-+ Umm, so it's very usual to suffer from Writer's Block thingy when you're depressed and down. This happens to me and I delay in updating chapters in that case. But somehow, I manage to get ideas for my next chapters after this, which may seem monotonous or of stereotypical pattern but acceptable, I guess. ._.

Me: *nods head* Who are your favorite authors here on Wattpad?

riveraaa_88: My favorite authors are @lystranda and @HeadOnJackwards. ^_^

Me: What was your most embarrassing moment ever?

riveraaa_88: To be honest, I don't remember any. ._. My memory capacity, though. I'm embarrassed now. xD

Me: [Ohh, haha. That's fine xD ] Are there any stories you're working on that aren't yet published? If so, can you please tell us a little about it?

riveraaa_88: I'm working on a non-fiction about Khaleed Bin Waleed: Sword of Allah, where I would summarize the Islamic history of his time and describe some of his battles, I guess. Hope that's gonna be published within a few months.

Me: Is there anything you would like to add? Any advice or other things you would like to share for our fellow Wattpaders here?

riveraaa_88: I personally am not an expert or famous or whatever, but I would like to 'request' to you to let your thoughts out. Type them out and publish them, regardless of the quality of writing which depends on individuals. It doesn't really matter how much acceptable your writing is because this is actually helping you enrich your writing skills, increase self-confidence, and most importantly, you're getting a scope to highlight your thinkings, which may be relatable to the Wattpaders and also act as an inspiration to let their thoughts out, too. Basically, just use that damn opportunity which Wattpad provided you to give your thoughts a field. Just. Do. It. :)

It's a wrap! LOL. Huge thanks to riveraaa_88  for participating and for answering the questions! :)

That is all.

Thank you and God bless!
