1) Tell us a little about yourself
I'm a person who ricochets between feeling everything and feeling nothing at all and writing poems putting it all out is how I cope. I don't have a very stable idea about who I really am, I tell people I'm a chameleon so I'm changing colors almost every hour. I'm too honest for my own good at times but I'm not afraid to be vulnerable. I believe vulnerability is my core strength.
2) What's your favorite author? Favorite book? They can be from Wattpad or elsewhere.
My favorite author, favorite book changes very often but currently it's bell jar by Sylvia Plath and I'm also reading her poetry collection. I have great tenderness for her. Her words sometimes feel like they were written for me. I also love Emily Dickinsons work.
3) How long have you been writing?
I have been writing since I was 13 that's when my mind became more inhabitable. I took to writing to get some air and now it's the only thing that fills up my lungs.
4) Why you do write? What's your inspiration?
I write for different reasons, the biggest being to cope with my mind. I also write because it's the only way I can have a voice and I write in the hopes someday someone will read my words and feel like they are not alone.
5) What's your preferred genre?
Poetry
6) What was your first written story?
My first poem was about a senior I had a crush on. Now I write about death. I've come a long way you can say.
7) What's your writing process?
I just write whatever I want whenever I want. It just comes to me. I don't think too much because thinking too much takes away the essence of my words.
8) What are your current writing projects? Can you give us a teaser?
Currently I'm working on a memoir - teach me how to live is the title I'm working with.
9) Do you have any unpublished stories? If so, why and do you ever plan to publish them?
I don't have anything concrete yet but soon I will have a lot more to share.
10) As a writer, what's the most challenging aspect?
Writers block is the most challenging part of being a writer. It's like you have the words I'm your chest but you cannot give it air and get it out. all you can do is hold it tight untill you can give it air and let it breathe.
11) Where do you see yourself in five years?
I see myself selling my memoir in the next five years and not shying away from calling myself a poet.
12) Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
Um.. The biggest tragedies are the stories we decide not to give life too. Give life to every story, every poem, let it all see the light.
