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

A showcase with @Moxie7Ak, author of Drama On & Off Camera

1 what inspired the idea of your story?

Well, It all started with the opening lines of my story where the main lead is not stunned from the plot twist in the novel she was reading but was completely stupefied by something irrational feelings she had. That's when I moved my fingers onto my keyboard "definitely not fast enough like the hackers do in the movies'. I wanted to stun my readers by pulling them into a genre and question themselves, which one has a better drama content REAL LIFE or REEL LIFE.

2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story?

I struggled to write the details about my character's appearance, I was more worried about how well my picture depiction will be, whether my readers will be able to imagine a clear picture/scene in their beautiful minds.

3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?

I loved writing about the conversation and the inner thoughts my characters had. I believe in friendship so much that I wanted to beautify those emotions, so I totally enjoyed writing that relationship between my characters.

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

 By the Grace of God, most of my readers loved my writing style, and it was my readers who encouraged me to keep writing when I completely lost my motivation to write. But then still I fail to reach wider audience. 

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

It's a standalone. Sometimes some stories should not be pushed beyond it's limits. Do you believe in Never ending Stories? "But then again that's another story and shall be told another time" by Michael Ende. 

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

I want my readers to understand, Success is not everything and sometime we fail to acknowledge what we learn while reaching that dream. We forget success and happiness are two different things, nothing bad comes from failure it's the stepping stones towards that success. 

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

I'm really not in a position to advice them but yes I would definitely like to tell them if you really love writing then don't give up. I struggled myself from my lack of punctuality in writing which made me unhappy each time when my readers enjoyed my story that's when I opened to write. 

8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?

 Not just the main lead I would say all the characters have a piece of me or the people around me in them.

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

My writing style and my spirit to amaze them with the twists and turn of events. how a simple looking storyline can create a mess around.

10 do you have any future projects?

 Yes, I'm working on my other stories as well which will be completely different in genre. I love trying out new theme with m y characters.
