Q1- What motivated you to start writing?
Since childhood, I have writing, but they were never poetry or stories or diaries or journal. Unfortunately or fortunately, they were letters that my grandma’s friend used to ask me to write to her sons, daughters, or family members. I remember at times I used to get frustrate yet wrote every time for her. Sometimes her emotions would leave me in tears. Gradually I started understanding her feelings, and eventually, writing those letters became part and parcel of my life till I got married. Whenever I write, I always feel those letters had given birth to my writing instinct, and thus today, I am an author.
Q2- What difficulties did you face during your initial days of writing?
I haven’t faced many difficulties. Somewhere again, here I want to mention that my childhood habit of writing letters had paved the path for me, and I have to walk on it. So I sailed smoothly and didn’t face many teething troubles.
Q3- How do you manage to source ideas for your novels?
Both my books (She Met life and Life@Crossroads) are inspired by true-life events, though a sort of fiction is added to express vividly. I always believe anyone can write for famous and successful people, and the book may sell like hotcakes. But it is maybe dodgy to write for ordinary people. Thus I always pick mango people, and further, I always leave on Universe. HE guides me and I pour my words as HE suggests. Therefore, in a nutshell I can say my source of the idea, motivation, or inspiration is higher divine power.
Q4- How do you manage work pressure?
Yes, I can understand I juggle around many things. But to be honest, I enjoy work pressure. I would say it is a skill that needs to be practiced and mastered. One must learn to switch over the focus from one task to another. Though it is stressful at times now, but I learned it well and didn’t feel pressured.
Q5- What tips would you like to provide to people who want to become like you?
A few tips from my side will be:
1-Take action on your idea.
2-Set goals for writing .It may be the amount of time you want to spend everyday on writing or the number of words you scribble per day.
3-Write daily without fail even if you have to edit the next day.
4-Research deeply for stories or the plot.
5-Always carry something with you where you can jot down your thoughts as it pops in your mind.
6-Write like you talk or as if explaining the audience.
7-Lastly read everything like a story even any non living as well. This will enhance your imagination and creative skills.
Q6- What are your hobbies?
Reading, Music and Watching documentaries.
Q7- What are your future plans?
I do not have any plans. I surrendered myself to Universe. As HE guides, I take action. I believe HIS plans are always better than what I plan for me.
Q8- What will be your message to our readers who wants to become like you?
I believe in the motto “Involve to Evolve,” thus, who wants to become an author, I would say start it RIGHT NOW. Don’t delay, don’t stop your pen and keep writing until you get what you want.
