How many hours a day do you write?
I try to write for at least two to three hours a day. On days when I am not as busy, I may spend up to four to five hours writing.
What is the most difficult part of your artistic process?
The most difficult part of my artistic process is coming up with the right words to effectively convey my ideas and emotions. Writing is a creative process and can often be challenging to express my thoughts in a meaningful way that resonates with the audience.
Where do you get your idea(s) for your book(s)?
I get my ideas for my books from the world around me, including music, art, and everyday life. I pay close attention to details, conversations, and experiences, and use these as inspiration for my stories.
What is your writing process like?
My writing process involves a few steps that I take to ensure my writing is of the highest quality. I brainstorm ideas and jot down my thoughts to come up with the main idea for my piece. Once I have that, I create an outline that serves as a roadmap for my writing. This helps me to stay focused and organized as I write. After I have completed a rough draft, I take the time to read it over and make any necessary changes. Once I am satisfied with the final draft, I review it again, making any final edits before submitting it.
How do you develop your plot and characters?
I develop my plot and characters by brainstorming ideas to see what works best for the story. I make a list of all the characters, their personalities, and their relationships to each other. I also think of events and actions that will shape their story, and create an outline of how the plot will unfold.
How would you describe your book’s ideal reader?
My book’s ideal reader is someone who is open minded and enjoys being immersed in detailed and intricate worlds. They appreciate stories that challenge the status quo and spark intelligent conversations.
Are you working on anything at the present you would like to share with your readers about?
I am currently working on a few novels on Wattpad, which is a great platform for writers to showcase their stories. This is a great opportunity for me to get feedback on my work, and improve my writing skills.
What are common traps for aspiring writers and have you faced any of them?
I have not always set aside enough time to write, and I have not always had a clear goal for what I wanted to achieve with my writing. I have also not always sought feedback from others or networked with other writers.
