Hey, I was wondering if you were free to do that interview now? xx
So sorry for the late reply! I had been a bit busy. It'll be an honour for me to give an interview!
Sweet! Would I be able to send the questions to you as I think our time zones clash xx
They do. I think you should send the questions one by one; I'll keep answering them...
Sure thing! xx
What inspired you to write your story? xx
The inspiration for my story came from the most unexpected of places I had thought. I had been told to write a short story for my school magazine and was having a hard time developing a plot. I was itching to write a detective story, but I was getting absolutely no ideas. I searched through my favorite thrillers and sifted through almost all the fictional material I owned. I had a lot of inspiration to take help from, but I wanted to create something original, something never read before.
I never visually struck the story that actually inspired me, rather it was more of a remembrance. I remembered a puzzle story, where you figure out the answer and stuff, that I had read in a children's comic magazine years ago. And that was it. That was going to be my inspiration.
Just taking the central idea of a mirror mystery from the story, I developed the characters and storyline. First I wrote the story for my school magazine, and then I had the idea of elongating the story, adding more dimensional characters and publishing it on Wattpad. Guess what, it totally worked! 😁 And here I am!
