Winner of: 2nd place in science fiction and Fantasy 

Winner from: Possibility awards

I was surprised and delighted seeing my work winning an award since it is my first attempt in writing a book. A part of me wished to win but I kept telling myself that there are better writers who joined and their work will be the one to make it.Winning this award had boosted my confidence in my work. It means a lot to me after all I put time and effort in this story then gradually it became a passion to continue writing and improving what I consider a form of art.My story won the second place in the Science fiction+Fantasy genre in the Possibility Awards 2018.

1 What's your schedule regrading your writing

I am bad in keeping schedules. I write as much as I can when creativity strikes whether it is in the middle of the night or day. I write mostly through my phone. I try to update my story once a week.

2.  What's your favorite thing about Wattpad?

My favorite thing in Wattpad is the option for fellow writers and readers to voice out their thoughts, provide input and point out things for improvement in a story. Basically the ability to reach out to the author it makes the characters of their story alive. 

3 What's a piece of advice you'd give a newcomer?

Just enjoy the process of writing and keep writing whether you have one reader or a thousand. As long as there is a person reading your story it means it is worth it.

4. If you gain advice from your favorite author, who would you choose and what would you ask?

Ayn Rand is one of my favorite authors but she died in the 80s. If I was given the opportunity to ask her for advice I would bring a recorder with me to make sure I don't miss a thing.

5.  What's your favorite book?

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand then the Millennium novel series by Stieg Larsson.

6 What's your dream vacation?

The weekends combined with a day or two of leave from work since it is a nice opportunity to travel locally or internationally to nearby countries.

7  How would you celebrate a publishing deal?

A spark of hope for that. I think I wouldn't be able to sleep that night. I would either buy a cake or invite the people surrounding me to a restobar.

8 How would you handle a bully?

Bullies are often insecure people whether they know it or subconsciously do. I would simply tell them to not continue reading my story if they don't like it and if they use inappropriate language or demeaning words I would report them and block them so they won't hurt other members. I won't let their harsh words destroy my confidence in my work as long as there is a reader who likes it I continue.

9 What's one wattpad goal?

To take away the problems of a person even for a brief moment in engulfing them with the world of my story. I consider reading an escape from the real world so my goal is to provide an outlet for others through engulfing them with the unhealthy obsession of the end of the world then their problems would seem less troublesome relatively speaking ;)

10 Who is your favorite celeb?

Angelina Jolie. She always take a roll of a female independent and badass character.

11 Are you still surprised when you gain a new vote, comment or follower?

Yes, I think I will always do no matter how popular my book would be. I would like to hear my readers thoughts as well.
