1.) When did you first get serious about writing?
A.)
I already joined writing contests when I was in College and since then,
I have kept different blogs. However, only after going through the 2014
NaNoWriMo challenge and succeeding did I get ever so serious in it. I
refused to eat on time, I didn't talk to my friends about my work for
fear that I might give away important ideas I could use for my plot. I
woke up every morning thinking of what else to write. So yeah, I think
at that point, I became serious.
2.) What is the hardest part for you about writing?
A.) Probably
facing the fact that there are great writers out there and they have
covered almost everything that needs to be covered. It feels like you
have nothing new to say nor offer to the world. I have always seen
myself as a writer who has a fresh take on things but when I read novels
or even blogs that have solid plots and amazing lines, I start doubting
myself if I am indeed cut out for this.

Synopsis: Not all stories end happily nor tragically. Most of them just need to be continued.Azalea
Anthony is a writer, or what she claims to be.Vim Harvey is her friend,
or at least what she wants to believe.Jasmine Morrish is Azalea's
archenemy, or so what Jash believes Azalea makes people
believe...er--There are other characters, too: like Warren, the
basketball player, Beatrix, the model, Tom, the perfect excuse of a
brother, Eclaire, the eccentric bff, etc.They all hangout in one place
where they can enjoy a steaming cup of debates, an aroma of gossips, a
side dish of basketball, a topping of drama, and a menu of articles :
The Big Coffee Shop.
3.) How did you feel upon publication of your first completed project?
A.)
It was superb! For the first few days, the idea that I have a novel out
there waiting to be read (and criticized at that!) didn't sink in but
when it did, I was in seventh heaven.
4.) What is more important to you, story, or character? Why?
A.)
Characters make stories more realistic and in this generation when you
will find the same story line and plot, I guess the game changers will
have to be the characters.
5.) What is a typical day like in your world?
A.) Nothing much. Just sitting in a comfy chair, reading a book and a cup of coffee within my reach.
