New Author Interview no.1

Author - Parthaviii 

Number of new books of Author - 2

Interviewer - Kanhakisakhi aka Myself

Let's move on to the interview then!

-----------------------------------------------------

1. What inspired you to start writing on Wattpad?

4 years ago, when I was around 12 years old, I was a great fan of Mahabharata. I especially liked the bonding between Pandavas and Panchali, Arjun and Subhadra and Arjun and Draupadi. Accidentally, I found stories related to them on this platform, Wattpad. After reading a few of them, I got a strong desire to write about them.

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : That's so inspiring! It's similar to my story on how I entered Wattpad as a reader and eventually became an author too.

---------------------------------------------------

2. What challenges did you face while writing and publishing your first story?

My first story ever on Wattpad was published in 2020. The title of the story was 'My Arya'. It was a fanfiction based on Arjun and Subhadra's life story. In the first attempt, the way of writing and the grammar used was very bad. So I had to edit it two to three times in the following years. Currently, the book is unavailable due to certain issues.

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : I understand. Many of our first attempts are the worst ones but we do improve ourselves and also edit our work.

---------------------------------------------------

3. How do you think authors can address these challenges?

I would suggest the authors to just start writing. With experience, you would come to know how the book is lagging. Do not forget to make a note of these points and then edit those chapters again. Practice is the key.

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : Good Suggestion!  I hope many new authors rise and improve themselves thoroughly by practice.

---------------------------------------------------

4. How do you balance your writing with other commitments? Any advice for other authors?

I consider writing as my relaxation time. It's just a small portion from my everyday busy schedule. In case I am unable to manage writing alongside, I go on a temporary hiatus, or slow down the pace of writing. I would suggest the authors, who are not able to balance their everyday life tasks and writing to set a goal first. Your goal is to complete writing your pending story. Now break it down into smaller portions. You need not write an entire chapter in a day and publish it. Nor do you need to publish a chapter consisting of 2000 words! Instead, keep the chapters short and crisp and write for around ten minutes daily.

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : Oo Loving your suggestions!  I can also follow this advice of yours too!  I hope new authors can balance their life and writing following this advice.

---------------------------------------------------

5. What advice would you give to someone who is just starting out on Wattpad?

For authors who just started on Wattpad, just be patient first. You may not get the required amount of votes or comments that you desire in a single day. Don't lose your motive there. Just keep going. And also try to observe the reader's interest. Observe that on which chapters you are getting maximum views and comments. If your readers are really liking your book, then it's a clear indication that you write on the topics which they like.

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : I second your advice. It's hard to stay motivated if no one reads or votes or comments on the new stories. But it's important to stay patient and stick to updating the stories! If the story is good enough, there would be readers surely.

---------------------------------------------------
6. How do you engage with your readers? Any advice for other authors to increase engagement with readers?

An easy way to engage with your readers is to reply to their comments, reply to their conversations and also asking them questions.

You can do this by multiple methods. Some of them are conducting questionnaires every now and then and publishing the 'Author's Note' after end of every chapter. You can also ask them personally to give a remark on the particular chapter.

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : That's a good advice. I can try following this too. Hope new authors use this advice so that they can increase reader engagement.

---------------------------------------------------

7. What's your favorite part about being a Wattpad author?

That I can fantasie about my favourite character and convert it into a story, publish it, and read the descriptions whenever I want. 🙈

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : That would be fun! 

---------------------------------------------------

8. What's your biggest goal as a Wattpad author?

That my stories get popular, people like and enjoy it, and who knows, that someday I would also become the author of an offline published book? *Winks*

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : That's a huge goal in front of you! Best wishes. I hope you would grow to be a famous writer!

---------------------------------------------------

9. What are your favorite Wattpad stories or authors? Any recommendations?

Ahh! I literally have a collection of them in my reading list!

But I am mentioning my most favourite ones:

1. All the stories written by RadheyPanchaali 

2. The Magical Historm Universe (MHU) series written by magicallovely 

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : Then I should check out your reading list and also try out the books you recommended!

---------------------------------------------------

10. If you could have a superpower related to your story, what would it be and why?

I would wish for a superpower to convert the books into movies or TV shows or youtube videos with the cast chosen by me. The reason being that it would give me and the readers a better feel of the story.

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : That's an awesome wish you have! I would like my books to be converted to movies or TV series too!

---------------------------------------------------

11. If you could trade places with one of your characters for a day, who would it be and why?

Well I would trade it with Draupadi! Why? To be near my most favourite character Arjun just for a day. 🙈🙈♥️

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : Oo *smirking*

Hey Sakha, Please hear this author's wish and let her be with your Parth 😏😏😏

---------------------------------------------------

12. If you could write a story in any genre other than the one you currently write in, what would it be and why?

The genre of my stories are Historical fiction and fanfiction as of now. I would like to plan a horror or paranormal story if I want to write a story on different genre. It's just because I love horror! (Not to mention that it scares me too 😅.. but I prefer it over romantic movies. 🫣)

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : Nice answer! Do check out my Halloween Horrors short stories if you want to feel scared 🤣🤣

---------------------------------------------------

13.  If you could give your readers one piece of advice, what would it be?

There's no agony greater than bearing an untold story inside you! So peeps, just write that down! 😉


Thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏

---------------------------------------------------

My comment on this answer : what a way to end the interview! Hope it would inspire and motivate readers to be new authors!

Thank you for your time. It was a pleasure to interview and learn new things from you.
