1.) What factor do you think is the most important that made your story get recognition?

Other than the length of a chapter, the progress of a story is important. Not many reader are a fan of lengthy chapters. Furthermore, most readers wanted something new in a book, rather than cliche plots. 

2.) What is your writing process like? In other words, how do you get your chapters done and turn them into published stories?

In order to write a story, or a chapter, I need to clear my mind, and calm my heart, and most important, think of a trait of the idol i'm writing. How ethereal, of smooth a character is. Other than that, music plays important role, to get the writing juices out.  

3.) What's your advice for our writers to improve their writing skills?

I believe reading more books, of course widen the scope, maybe read more non fanfiction, to get some inspirations. Have Good command of English, also do not rush into writing for the sake of following peers. Basically, Get inspired, read more, and write your heart out. Get me?  

4.) What helps you the most with writer's block?

Music. Definitely! I tend to write, whenever i listened to lofi type of musics, but it depends though. My heart moves depending of musics. To get sad chapter, of course i would listen to sad songs, and vice versa. 

5.) How do you manage your writing time with your other duties?

I usually write once I get my work done, or if i have an idea that came running through my brain. I would scribble on papers, to get the idea out, before arranging them into words.  

6.) What ways do you use to promote your story?

To be honest? None, I never promote my story for others to read. I was once a reader, never had the intention to write, until a few friends encouraged me to write. From then, I would just get to words out of my brain, and heart. That's all!
