1. How long you have been writing & what interests you to write?
I've been writing for a little while now, it has just been 4 years but it feels as though I've been doing this for my entire life. My personal experience makes me want to write. There's so much clearance when one actually sits and writes about everything. It all just makes so much more sense after.
2. If you didn’t write, what would you do for work?
The idea of being a digital content creator really interests me. There's so much going on in their life it seems, glitters and gold though I understand the downside of it yet I admire how passionate these artists are. I want to be able to attain that in my life someday.
3. What was an early experience where you learned that language had power?
4 years ago I realized, I can't talk about a lot of things because these incidents are quite intense, not everyone can empathize, and sharing such experiences at wrong times with wrong people can make things worse for us, and writing seemed a safe place, very appealing one could say, to express myself without the fear of judgment or intimidation.
4. Do you think someone could be a writer if they don’t feel emotions strongly?
Anyone and everyone can write. Writing is not about feeling everything deeply I suppose because that's not how I started initially. It builds you eventually though to feel all the emotions very strongly. It's profound.
I've always said this one thing, if you're feeling something or going through anything, then there would be hundreds if not thousands of people who feel the same way as you. Writing is about stating the relatable instances in lives. For me, that's what writing is. It's easy, it comes naturally.
5. Is there any time when writing seems exhausting to you?
When you're a writer on any platform, there's a need to be consistent and punctual, you need to write as much as possible because you have to post or else accounts die over a period of time. This consistent need sometimes feels forceful and that becomes exhausting at times.
6. Do you try more to be original or to deliver what readers want?
There's nothing original, ideas, words, phrases, idioms, metaphors, all of these have been used before, a very long time ago and we might not be aware of it being already out there, existing without us knowing and we might write something similar to it unknowingly. Though, yes I do try, like every other writer on Instagram, to deliver relatable pieces to my audience.
7. What does literary success look mean to you?
Literary success to me would mean the success of my book if/when I decide to publish one.
8.What do you think is the most difficult thing in write, thought process, or perfection?
Perfection is a myth. The thought process is not really difficult but we have our days when there's too much going on in our heads but nothing to pin down, no sentences come out and we just feel blank like the paper. I guess that's the most difficult part of writing - getting stuck.
