1 what inspired the idea of your story?

I wanted to take the weird anxious kid and give her a little backbone, make her seek revenge. Also I liked the idea of her plan.


2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story?

I struggle forming a complete storyline. I love writing and sometimes random scenarios pop into my head I want to write about. But its hard trying it all together in one big ball of cohesive yarn.


3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?

The things I enjoy most is descriptions. Like describing scenery, moments, emotion and characters I see vividly in my head.


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

I would like to think that people enjoy it


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

I'm not sure right now. It's probably going to be a standalone, but you never know what might happen.


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

That even if  you have anxiety or intrusive thoughts, never be afraid of who you are. People will always love you if you show yourself. Learn how to love that part of you.


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

Advice I would give is, never undermine your work. Writers are people who make beautiful things happen. Continue doing what you love and learn the difference between constructive criticism and hate.


8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?

Mostly the part of our mental illnesses. Other than that, I think both of us are pretty different. I'm more outgoing while she is a bit shy. But our love for art and classical music does coincide as well.


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

 The main character. I find her to be very interesting. The whole aesthetic of the story as well. If you like a mash up of light and dark academia, it is for you.


10 do you have any future projects?

I have some stuff in my drafts, but now I'm focusing on the books l have published at the moment.
