1.) What is your name and age? (if you are comfortable telling us)
• my pen name is Jahanavi and I turned 18 this January.
2.) How did you first land on wattpad?
• I am very fond of reading and writing since my childhood, especially writing. Well I got to know about Wattpad from Instagram and then I started reading and writing. I had two books but those books got deleted. This is how I landed up here, before this I had no idea about Wattpad.
3.) What made you want to start writing? What was your inspiration?
• The first ever story I wrote was when I was in class 3. Honestly there is nothing such "incident" that made me wanna write. Just like a child is born with interest, I was born with it. Even before I was admitted to school, I wanted to write but the problem was I hardly knew alphabets. So yeah, there is nothing such as incident, writing is something I am born with maybe because I love to imagine and make people know what I am imagining.
Inspiration, in the sense, I literally worship JK Rowling as a writer since I am a potterhead. But if you are talking about inspiration to start writing then my biggest inspiration is myself. I am my own inspiration as to why I started writing. As I stated earlier, I was only 3 when I wanted to write stories but couldn't so I used to draw my stories in my drawing copies. From drawing out my ideas at an age when I could hardly write my name, to actually writing something,this is my inspiration.
Also my didun(nani) used to tell me bed time Stories. She is literally a library in herself. So when she used to narrate tales, I always got inspired to write such tales of my own.
4.) From where do you get the ideas of your books?
• Ideas just pops out.
Songs help me a lot to think of a chapter but ideas for books just pops out in my head. I believe Ideas arise from anything you see around you if you have an imaginative brain
5.) Which genre book are you currently writing? And what are the other genre that you wish to explore in future?
• I am currently writing a book which is kind of thriller and rest two I cannot reveal now. If I reveal the genre, I will be revealing the ending itself so sorry for that.
I have written fantasy, tragedy, chicklit, romance but one thing that I have never attempted to write is horror. Neither can I watch horror nor can I write horror nor can I read horror. I am very weak in this genre but I hope one day I will be able to do so.
6.) What will you advice to the aspiring, new writers?
• I am an aspiring author myself so I need my own advice too😅
