Congratulations, ramyam2000!

1. How are you doing?

Ans: Just coping up with these bad times where everyone's patience is being tested. Trying to be optimistic about future and focusing on the so called "more important" things in life. But yes, at times it gets exhausting, tiring and despairing.

2. What has inspired your works?

ANs: I believe a lot of early stage reading has influenced me a lot. Especially the early books by Barbara Cartland, Charles Dickens, have shaped up my thinking and writing style. But one thing which I have learnt, writing is an art of observing people and then putting it on paper, with interesting set of events.
The art and craft of writing is an inspiration in itself. I love writing and this keeps me going.

3. What do you do when you lack motivation?

Ans: As writers many time we have writer's block or we lack motivation to write. I had phases, where suddenly I was like, what will I get from writing this book? Where I am heading to? There is so much of competition out there, my chances to make a mark is very difficult.
At that point in time, I start watching romance movies, documentaries, listening to a nice song, and this generally puts me back into writing mode.
Though I believe one needs to learn how to motivate themselves? We all our own bestfriend and motivators.

4. What is your favourite genre?

Ans: I don't have favorite genres, I have favorite books. I try to read different kinds of genres to keep my creativity alive. Different genres offer different things. But still if I have to pick, I like a novel with bit of twists and turns. Plain vanilla novels bore me.

5. What do you like to do when you're not writing?

Ans: I generally like travelling when I am not writing. And if I am at home then I will be reading a lot, watching documentaries or doing some research. I believe I am too restless to sit still and do nothing.

6. Do you have a favourite Wattpad author? (this can be a Wattpad author)

Ans: Not exactly. I liked reading few of the authors, but I cannot say that this is my favorite author. Apart from wattpad authors, I like Charles Dicken, Jane Austen, Margaret Mitchell. In the contemporary writers I like Sidney Sheldon, Nicholas Spark (but only few books).

7. What is your favorite work of your own?

Ans: I liked my second novel- Love Lasts Forever, it talked about 2 strangers getting married, hating each other, finding a mid way and then losing each other to terrorism. I love my current novel-US-Forever a lot, it talks about same sex marriage, the taboos in the society, and how culture impacts a person's level of thinking, further impacting their future relationships too.

8. What is your favourite quote?

Ans: The Best Never Rests.

9. What is your favourite food?

Ans: I like South Indian food, Mexican and at times Chinese too.

10. Do you have any tips to do with any topic you have been through recently ( e.g
stress, relationships, broken friendships, school, careers, friendship...etc, the list is
endless)

Ans: I just want to say, people judge everything. Whether you do anything or not, mark my words you are judged. From the things you can't control about yourself to your preferences, there is someone outside, who is ready to judge and comment. So just be yourself and do whatever you want to, because in the end people remember those who fought bravely.
Life is a gift, always look at the bigger picture. The current problems will look like a minor blip.

Thank You
