Meet The Authors Showcase Edition #2 (2 of 3)

A showcase with @chocoSK, author of clocked heart

1 what inspired the idea of your story?

 There is a monthly writing challenge on wattpad called Just write it and I already had a pretty similar idea and in the end, I combined both of them. The sad thing was, I forgot to submit my book to just write it in the end, but I am really grateful for them as I wouldn't have published it without that prompt to be honest.

2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story?

 I think time construct My story revolves around a girl whose body dies and then comes back to life after seven days. There are a lot of supernatural ailments and mysteries involved and another character whose time construct is quite important to note.

3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?

 It may sound quite weird but I enjoy writing the death scenes and the cute bonding moments the most.

4 what's the overall response of your story from your readers?

I think, My readers enjoy it and I am also open to criticism and questions. 

5 is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series ?

first book of the series

6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?

That's actually a tough one tbh, I just want them to enjoy the story and maybe realize that not everyone is worth your trust, so If someone is giving you bad vibes or seems weird, you aren't wrong to walk past them. This doesn't mean that you have to shut down your heart, you should trust people but only if your mind thinks that they are worth it and you don't mind giving a chance to them. 

7 what advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to focusing on their own story?

 I would say, try to be consistent and give yourself a goal to finish writing in a week. It might be hard at first but it gives quite a good result.

And this one is from my personal experience, so it may not be applicable to all of you but if you find this useful, I am glad. Don't try to pressure yourself to write, Like if you just try to force yourself to write when you are having writer's block. It may get more messed up, Do something else, like think about your story's other possible outcomes ( you might get struck with some new ideas ), Make a Spotify playlist that you think your characters might enjoy, draw random sketches of your character or make an edit, which explains your story plot or something. Try to do anything that you might enjoy and then continue your story with your story when you feel good.

PS :- Take care of your health. 

8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?

My main character, Ivory. I think we are quite similar in thinking rationally.

9 what is something about your story you believe would draw in new readers?

 Tbh I don't have that much confidence in my writing haha, but I think the fantasy and thriller ailment draws new readers and I really grateful to every single one of my readers.

10 do you have any future projects?

 1. Persona - That's a fantasy with royalty and magicians. I actually paid a lot of efforts in the world building for this one!

2. Heal - Tbh I am not that sure of the title, and I might change it soon but this is sci-fi and mystery.

I am just jumping and trying a lot of different genres. So, you will find a lot of different types of stories.
