1 what inspired the idea of your story? 

I got the story inspiration when I was at a low point through life. My hardships and problems brought me into creating this book full of fiction in hopes that it will pull me through the dark times.


2 what was something you struggled with for your story?

always struggle with its length and the frequent writing. I've always just managed to write about 800 to a thousand words per chapter which isn't really good considering a good average amount is 2000, but I'm working on it and slowly improving. I also struggle to write a lot because like I said, the inspiration were my problems and I truly, only feel motivated to write is when I'm down


 3 what has been the overall response to your story from your readers? 

I've  been getting a lot of good feedbacks from my readers and it really helps my motivation. Some of them point out some mistakes which leads me to correcting them when I will be editing the book


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

I'm still deciding whether or not I will be making the book into a series, but as of now, it's a stand alone novel. I think the readers will have a huge impact in this choice once I complete my book.


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

I would love for them to learn from the book and reflect on their lives as well. My story may be a bit tragic which leads me to want them to realize that if they haven't experience this, they are very lucky people. My character, although fiction, is very much real in different parts of the world. I want them to value their lives and continue pushing through everything.


 6 what's a piece of advice you would provide to another writer, when it comes to focusing on their story? 

I would advice you to only write when you truly feel like doing so. Never write when you are just being forced to or feel like you have to because by doing so, you won't be giving your book any justice, not when you could've written better. I've come from this and learned my mistakes. It'll make editing the whole book easier to because you wouldn't want to change major things


7 does your main character share any similarities to yourself? 

Yes,  some of my character's traits are similar to mine which is really cool and I can see myself in her sometimes


8 what's something you believe would draw in new readers? 

I think the tragic start of the story will lure them and the curiosity of what will happen to the main character


9 do you have any future projects?

Oh, definitely! I have a lot of different ideas, but I'll only start them once I finish this book :).
