Meet The Authors Showcase Edition #3 (3 of 3)

A showcase with @nadiar2488, author of The Absolute Blue Moon

1. What inspired idea of your story?

I'm not gonna lie that it just happened when I re-watched Twilight for the umpteenth time. (Yeah, I'm a big fan!). I remember back then, I was writing another story with a different genre and got stuck, like I don't know what to do to find more ideas to write on it. Then I usually watch movies to refresh my mind, hoping to get some ideas. And it worked! Even though the idea that emerged was to write a new story with a different genre from the one I was writing, I never thought that it was this story that made me more excited, until I finished it earlier than my other story.

2. What is something you struggled constructing with your story?

When I decided to write this story, I committed myself to a deadline by which I had to finish it. And as it turned out, it was the time limit that I made myself that also made it difficult for me. (LOL). In addition, the choice of words. I often feel stuck to put words together to make it a miracle. You know, in a book, the magic of words is what makes the story come alive.

3. What did you enjoy writing most of your story?

When my main character finally meets her lover. Even as I wrote that part, it was as if my heart was racing like what happened to that girl. Indeed, I love romance .

4. What's the overall response of your story from your readers?

Not many have commented on this story. But for existing ones, they love it. I hope the next comment will follow.

5. Is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of series?

At first, I planned to make it into a series. But it seems for now, I'll leave it to be a stand-alone novel.

6 . What would you like your readers to take away from your story?

We never know what the future holds. So, have dreams and hopes in life. Although our dreams and hopes may sound ridiculous even too fantasize, but who knows it could come true? (according to my story, it means in your love life aspect. But I think, what I said can be applied to all aspects of life ).

7. What advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to focusing on their own story?

Don't forget to keep taking your time to do things you love outside of writing. Because it will refresh your brain, so we can stay focused on the story we are writing. For me, music and movie always help.

8. Does your main character share any similarities to yourself?

Not at all. We are completely live on opposite poles.

9. What is something about your story you believe would draw in new readers?

Apart from the genre itself (as we know that many people love Fantasy Romance), The Absolute Blue Moon also tells the story of an extraordinary brother and sister relationship.

10. Do you have any future projects?

Yup. I have two stories I'm working on. One has been published on Wattpad, and the other is still in my docs.
