this month's mystery interview has been given to: @SaphCastlexx 

1 what inspired you to write?

Writing has always been a part of my life. Reading books or even watching a good movie inspired me to write books. I read a quote once that said if I didn't find a story in the bookshelves, then create the story.

2 what is one Wattpad goal?

To have one of my books on Wattpad's featured list or even have a chance to publish with Wattpad books.

3 what's a good piece of advice for a newcomer?

Don't be discouraged for not receiving the desired reads and votes just as soon as you write. It grows only when you continue to tell your story. Take inspiration from other authors and writers; be open to honest feedback.

Lastly, never stop writing.

4 if you could hang out with your favorite celeb for a day, who would you choose and what would you do?

The favourite celebrity list is quite long but if I had to choose one for a day, I'd choose Emilia Clarke. Who wouldn't want to spend a day with Queen Daenarys and Louisa Clark?

5 Are you still surprised when you get a new vote, follow or comment?

Of course I do! It's a sign that more and more people are reading my work.

6 what's the best way to handle a bully?

Best way to handle a bully is to ignore them. Yes, it is difficult but remember, a bully only bullies because of their own insecurities. Channel your mind to let your frustration out on something; an art or a sport. The day you succeed, these bullies won't exist for you and they won't have the guts to meet your eyes. Have faith, the bad days will pass and the good days will come.

7 what's your favorite holiday and why?

Christmas! Definitely Christmas! I'm one of those people who starts playing Christmas songs from November itself.

I guess Christmas became a favourite holiday because of my family. The adults in my family definitely made every Christmas memorable. Starting with the tree, the goodies, the mini photoshoots by the tree and the best part...the presents Santa left behind.

In fact I still remember the very first note I got from Santa. Yes, I believe that there is a man in a red suit in this world who comes down chimneys to deliver presents.

Now, I experience it in a different manner. The drinks at the café become holiday themed. The red cup from Starbucks becomes mandatory. The lights and trees all around the city just adds to the spirit of Christmas.

8 what's your favorite snack?

I don't snack, sure crisps and popcorn is there but I enjoy a lovely cup of coffee and baked goodies.

9 what's a song you enjoy? Who is the artist?

As much as I love listening to the songs of this era, songs by Abba, Boney m and boybands give me great pleasure.

10 how would you celebrate a publishing deal?

A publishing deal? Wouldn't that be a dream come true?

I never really thought far but it would be small but grand with the people who believe in my works. Champagne and cake is a priority.

11 if you could gain advice from your favorite author, who would you choose and what would you ask?

I would love to meet Cecelia Ahern and Jeffrey Archer. From one I would be learning on how I could be a better writer in the romance genre and from the other, maybe the art of suspense; a genre I hope I venture into soon.

Request time

If you want to read something that you want to cuddle in a blanket with a mug of hot cocoa on your couch or bed for the holidays, then The Holiday Homework would be the book for you.

Experience all delights of Christmas and romance with Holly and Jasper. I hope you love them as much as I do!
