1 what inspired the idea of your story?

 A dream. A nightmare that scares me till date, about a dark, forestial cemetery where I went with my family and got trapped. That was how this story came up in my mind.


2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story?

Honestly, 'writing the next line' and procrastination were two major obstacles I faced during constructing my story. I struggled a lot in the topic.


3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?

Developing the characters. I enjoyed a lot while writing so many emotions- happiness, sadness, fun, gloom, everything was so beautiful to write in words.


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

They like it. They seem to admire my characters, and question the future of my plot, which inspires me to write more. 


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

My story is a part of a trilogy (hopefully) and I am writing the part of it.


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

A lot of things. My main motive to write a story so different was to show others that we have two sides: good and bad. And the side which we show is what we become. I wanted to show that amidst so many problems, one can find solutions.


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

 Do manage to 'write the next line'. There are times when the plot is developed yet one can face the difficulty to write the next line. So please overcome that part of your writing career, and you will shine (: 


8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?

 Yes, absolutely. Amylia (my main protagonist) and Damien (my main antagonist) were like, sides of me. Some aspects of these sides are very familiar with my aspects of life.


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

Well realism is something that I believe would draw others in. I had kept my story and plot real, even after adding the horror element in it. Strangely enough, I believe others would relate if they face something paranormal all of a sudden. That confusion, dilemma- I have tried to portrayed it all. 


10 do you have any future projects?

Yes of course, I have a lot of future projects, I would like to share in the upcoming days.
