Meet the Authors Edition #1 (Nov 2017 To July 2018)

Interview 21 @The_Grim_Reaper_

1 What's the best way to spend a day?

The best way to spend a day is to grab someone you love, find a romantic book you both enjoy, snuggle in a blanket with hot cocoa on the couch. I doubt there is any better way that this.

2 What's one tip you'd give a newcomer?

The thing with newcomers is that they really don't have a wide influence. Nobody knows about them and their skills. It might take quite long to gather substantial influence, so it is not beneficial to be disheartened at the beginning if you are winning the attention and love of the community. It doesn't mean your work isn't worth it, because every word in literature, for literature and f literature is worthy of recognition. It will take time yes, but don't worry, even if a diamond is recognized after years of it's formation, it is still the precious priceless diamond. Don't lose heart, all your amazing daydreamers out there. Heaven knows how much the world needs you.

3 What's your favorite holiday and why?

My favorite holiday is Sunday. No joke. Like seriously, it comes every week, and you can laze around all you want or go out and enjoy. It's a holiday without restraints and you can make the most of it every time it comes. Capre deim, as I would like to say it.

4 Whose your favorite author outside Wattpad?

My favorite author is Rick Riordan, because no doubt his sense of humor and all those inside jokes traveling across the series along with the smooth flowing plot with multiple storyline. It's gripping, it's entertaining, it's nothing short of absolute perfection.

5 What's one of your Wattpad goals?

Every person's goal on wattpad is to write the greatest story or poems ever, and to get them published and gain global recognition. I, on the other hand, came to wattpad with just one goal, to show the world what a broken heart trying to love again looks like. It's not like what we see in the movies, and I have been told that I have done that excellently, though my modesty denies me the luxury of acknowledging and believing such compliments. I came with a broken heart and left with the love of my life in my arms, thus showing the world the horrors of heartbreak and how heartbreaks are not the end. You must always learn to love again, for in the end, it will be worth every heartbreak, every tear. I believe I have conveyed that, though not perfectly, but adequately so. So my goal on wattpad is achieved.

6 What's your favorite TV show?

Favorite TV show is no doubt, hands down is the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I mean, shows may come and shows may go, but this show was legendary. Absolutely amazing. I can laugh hysterically at the same episode a million times. 

7 What inspired you to begin writing?

I wasn't much of a writer, let alone a poet. All my life I tried to create something in literature, with some ridiculous works in literature, but not a word in poetry. Then certain incidents led me down a certain road, and I felt that if I didn't write them down, I will suffocate. I assume all those who live for the pen and ink feel so. Prose to poetry and soon I was just decorating my crushed feelings and emotions on paper. In other words, experience was my inspiration.

8 What do you enjoy most of Wattpad?

I really enjoy reading other stories on Wattpad. It's amazing how we can see before our eyes the boundless imagination of the people who dare to dream, and how absolutely hypnotic the worlds they create are. The possibility of all these universes with absolute amazing and gripping storylines and such prospects make this experience wonderful. Respect and awe for all those who write out there. You guys are amazing.

9 Do you have any other creative outlets?

I do have other creative outlets. I used to draw before my carpal tunnel syndrome, causing my hands to shake and fumble with styluses. I still can perform origami though. I still make gifts for people I love using 3D origami. It's beautiful and the effort is obviously visible. I am learning the guitar, staring recently, and do love to sing on various octaves.

10 What's your favorite snack?

Pizza. I don't think anyone has to justify their love for this food of the gods, do they? It's freaking obvious. Pizza, is unbeatable as long as you don't put chocolate or pineapples on it. No perversion of the ambrosia. Eat it and become immortal.

11 What's your daily writing routine like?

I have recently started working on research which involves another account. Activist agenda. Most my time goes in collecting information and the remainder goes in interlinking it and typing it out in proper theories. There isn't a proper set schedule when your work literally has three steps.

If you wish to know how I wrote poetry, then here goes:I usually will write what's going on my mind and then start chunking words out and replacing some with their synonyms. Then rearranging the sentences and using rhyming synonyms to make it into a poem. This generally takes about an hour if you know what you feel, otherwise it's just a dreadful case of poet's block.

Request time!

Well, I would really appreciate it if you could go through my poetry book "Kissed by Autumn" and be susceptible to emotions. It's generally a short read, lasting only half an hour for the entire book, but I believe the effect it has on you is chronic. Even I have cried at one of my own poems, so it's safe to say they are really powerful. It's short, holds promise and will be worth it. All the more reason to give it a shot. I would love to hear all positive and negative feedback to be honest. Love to all, happy writing!
