#writerinterview

[bookschharming]

January 28, 2019, was the day we first posted the author interview, and today after three years and ten months, we published our 300th interview. 🥳 Our aim behind the process was to provide a platform to the underrated, indie, and debutant authors, and we are successfully doing it, along with interviewing some bestsellers. When we started, we posted the interview once a week, but the number of queries grew too much, so we decided to post it twice a week, and we will keep doing that to showcase the journey of fantastic and well-deserved authors. We also want to thank our readers because it wouldn't have been possible without you, and thank you to all the authors who were part of our journey. 😊 Team Books Charming ❤️ #bookscharming #authorinterview #authorinterviews #authorinthemaking #writerinterview #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #authorlife #authorgram #authorcommunity #indieauthor #debutauthor #bookstagram #indianbookstagrammer #unitedbookstagram (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClAue4Vo8W9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Writer Interivew

1) What made you start writing for the first time?

( Some of dis one is from a previous ask I answered. Don’t hate me )

 Writing is the incision in my mind which allows for my jumbled thoughts to be released from my head. It relieves the constant replay of ideas and memories of what has been going on in my life. It’s an escape from reality, where I can create my own little world, where maybe everything can be okay; though things aren’t okay. But writing helps me envision as if it all is :))

I have a passion for connecting with everyone in SOME sort of way. My writing gives me a larger variety of people I can connect to and it enlarges the amount of people I meet and really get to create that special bond with. Not only that, but I have also found that, with the personal writings, people are able to relate to what I have said and I have been told that it makes them feel understood, and as if maybe they aren’t alone in this self-absorbed world that cares for nothing other than its greedy self.

Writing is kind of like this gateway for what I want to do in the future. I want to be a journalist / author type person thing xD. That’s the “ job description “ though it doesn’t layout exactly what I want to do. I’d really love to travel the world, meet as many people as I can, hear THEIR stories and what THEY have gone through, experience those certain situations myself, and get their stories out there. A lot of people don’t have access to social media or the news where they are capable of GETTING THEIR VOICE HEARD. I want to be that fuse between the world and that one soul :)  If I can help someone in some way, I will.

I started writing for the first time because I finally wasn’t able to keep all my chaotic thoughts and ideas trapped inside my skull. They needed released or they were going to completely destroy me.. so writing was my way of setting them free:     I started writing because I finally had a reason to write.

2) If you could only write about the ocean, the forest, or the desert for the rest of your life, which one would you pick?

I have no favourites. NONE AT ALL! But if I HAD to pick one it’d have to be the desert, and let me tell you why; The majority of people will likely choose either the ocean or the forest, which is something I can understand; the forest is beautiful, mesmerizing, natural, and true to our world - it is the habitat of millions of animals and is a place many people wouldn’t dare roam. The ocean, is mysterious and full of species we have yet to even imagine. It’s truly beautiful and fascinating, how could you not love it? But the desert? What’s so great about that? The desert seems plain, simple, bland, and most of all hot and hopeless. There’s no trees to make you feel safe and watched over, there is no water to quench your thirst. There is nothing but the glaring beams of sunlight and a never - ending swimming pool of sand.  But what about the journey it takes to get across the supposed wasteland? What about the mysteries it holds deep within it’s layers of granular substance that humans are too lazy to explore - being blinded by the belief there is nothing there? What about the beauty of silence, and calmness. Nothing but the familiar sight of orange. Nothing but you and the world around you. You could make anything with that empty space.. and with so many undiscovered secrets of the dunes? There is really no limit..

3) Would you ever write a memoir?

It’s rather humiliating because at first I was like WHAT IS THIS. A MEMORIAL? Then I started planning a memorial for.... I honestly have no clue :) I just wanted to try and be artistic #FAIL. Anyways, I finally decided there’s no way that’s what it was and looked it up :D Erm. From my understanding it’s a biography.  So that means a thing about me.  okay.

4) Do you like writing by hand, or writing with a computer?

I LOVVVE writing by hand. It’s so natural and makes everything feel genuine. But my hands, especially my wrists, are excruciatingly weak and the pain often gives me massive headaches, and for that reason MOST of my writings do end up forming on the computer, and later on I write it on paper.

5) Would you rather be popular among many readers, or unpopular, but loved by critics?

I don’t need people to love my writing, I just need them to read it.  I don’t write for other people, I write for myself. If they don’t like it, why should I care? It’s not FOR them. It’s for ME. And IIIIIIIIIIIIII like it. So shut your mouth.

6) Do you listen to music while you write? What is the best writing music?

I actually used to never really be into music. Like, at all.  But someone special to me showed me music I could really relate to and easily find the story in.  In conclusion, you might think you don’t like music, but really? You’ve just never found the right song.  ( LIKE HAPPY FEET :DDDD AND HOW THEY FIND THEIR MATES :DDDD ) Uh.  The best writing music? Is the music you connect with and are able to feel comfortable with. Music that inspires you, helps you focus, and relates with how you are feeling.

7) Do people you’ve met find their way into your writing?

YES. I THINK I MIGHT BE MISUNDERSTANDING THIS QUESTION BUT YES. I LOVE writing about other people’s experiences. The lot of my stuff is, sure, stuff I can connect to. But really it’s the people I meet and talk to and hear the stories from that inspires me to write. A lot of my pieces are based off of real people and real stories.  Perhaps you’re next? ;))

Mystery, intrigue and romance. That’s what author Ellen Read brings to the table with her latest Novel, The Dragon Sleeps.
