Legend:

Q: Your interviewer (Me! :D)

A: The interviewee ( Scintillio16)

Q. Greetings! I'm TheWordArtistBooks, and I come from Author Insights. Ready for your interview? (Reply to begin, feel free to at any time) 

 P.S. What nickname would you like me to refer you as?

A. Hello dear!! I would like 'Crystal' as my nickname ☺️☺️
Q. Sure! Nice to meet you, Crystal. Would you mind telling me more about yourself? It can be as personal as you wish, or just your books.

A. Yeah !! Sure

I thought you are going to ask.. (•‿•') Okay, I am a Stenographer and currently preparing for SSC examinations. Hope so, I got my dream job. As for my books my first online published book 'Forbidden Princess' was completed on this new year. Second one, 'Saudebazi' is currently ongoing. With this, I already have story plot for 5 stories . But it just takes a lot of my time . So it just takes time to write each one of them. In addition there is short stories collection too, named 'Pyaar Ki Yeh Kahani Suno' ☺️☺️
Q. Oh, no, I'm supposed to let the interviewee do the talking. You can refer to past interviews if you want. Let's talk about reading. What are your favourite genres to read?

A: Koi na, My favourite genre is mainly Romance genre. To elaborate it, there are Indian Arranged Marriage troops, Lost and Found, Rebirth(to correct their wrongs), Supernaturals, etc. (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

Q. I see. Do you write Romance books too? Have you ever read a romance book for inspiration? Why or why not?
A. Yes ☺️I wrote one and am currently writing oneAnd yes I read a lot of books. I read books mainly for English. By reading books I got to know many colloquial words and it helps in both my exams and writing a bookIt really improves my performance in English Language And Comprehension

Q. That's very useful! Hmm, could you name me a few books you like to read? Why are they your favourites, and how have they helped you?

A. Ji Hizoori by sonali_nefelibata - her vocab is so strong. It was like this , if I read a word in mock tests and when I read her update, I got that word then, it will triggered the memory and the respected word is already stored in my vocabulary. The Alternative Bride by Msbhatia7755 - Her book is also a great one. I loved reading it. Her Heart Keeper by sunshine_writes_27 - with her books I got to know about her culture and the chemistry between her characters is fabulous. Resurgence of Kohl by  - This book has the strongest female lead I ever read. This story is based on Reincarnation and Indian Royal Society. I loved this book. And there are many more, you can get them in my Reading List named - Best Stories.

Q. Wow, they all sound unique and interesting! How has reading changed you as a writer?

A. It changed my works the most like how to write a dialogue, how to express my character's feeling such that readers feel them emotionally. I also requested some reviews and these reviews also helped me in delivering the chapters in more engaging way.

Q: That's great news! Let's move on to writing. What made you start writing?

A. Usually I used to write in my personal diary. Already it has 4 to 6 stories and these stories are much childish than now. And I also used to share it to my closest friends only (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠ ') And how I started writing online then it's a little bit long story ( •‿ •;⁠)
I used to read serials update on 'tellyupdates' there I got to know about Wattpad that's when I find this app. Then, for some time I only read . One day I just thought about writing here. I also talked to some writers and Ta-Da .... Here I am

Q. I see. Let's discuss your work, 'Forbidden Princess'. Would you mind explaining briefly what this story is about?

A. This story is about a girl who was kidnapped when she was just a month old. And since then her family was searching for her but didn't find her. She was living her life in an orphanage and also doing a part time job for her livelihood. When her family found her she was already 19 years old. So this story is about her struggles mentally and physically and also about finding her love

Q. I see. So like a teen fiction romance? What's your protagonist like?

A. You can say this but I would like it to be in New Adult Romance category Her was a strong character. She had a chulbuli type character but due a certain incident she made the walls around her much much higher, so no one would be able to break it. And it was of course till she met her life partner.

Q. Ah, I see. New Adult it is. So, in a way, she became independent. What inspired you to write this story?

A. I always daydream like what if there's a girl who was like this, whose family was like this, then she probably would do this, then this ,then that and Ta-Da my story is ready to deliver to others. And sometimes I saw some fragments in my dream and then I just made a story out of it. ☺️☺️
Q. So you sort of gather your ideas from multiple sources? How was this story special to you?

A. Yeah, that's right. After getting a main idea about the character, I created the whole story around him/her.

This story is always going to be special as this is the first story I present online . I really loved the journey of writing it.

It has all of my emotions from frustration to satisfaction, from depression to cheerfulness

Q. Wow, this story must be close to your heart. I hope you enjoyed writing it (if it's completed).Let's move on to your second work, Saudebazi. Would you mind telling me what this story is about?

A. 'Forbidden Princess' was completed this new year.

And for Saudebazi, you can say it was just a one time fantasy of mine ƪ⁠(⁠˘⁠⌣⁠˘⁠)⁠ʃ

Actually I love Mathematics and then, I saw some clips teacher student pair. And then, there are many teachers who have just completed their studies and opted teaching as their profession This is the way how I got the idea of Saudebazi

Sorry for the rant (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠) This story is about the marriage between a professor and his student She didn't like her Maths Sir but she was his favourite student.

Q. Oh, so it's like a one-sided relationship? 

 How is this book different from Forbidden Princess?

A. For now, it is as she hates her teacher because he always scolds her for anything she did. But eventually she will know that there is a very thin line between love and hate. And when her hate turns into love, she won't be gonna know about it.

This book is different from 'Forbidden Princess'

Forbidden Princess is about a girl and her journey, she don't know how it feels to have the love of a family. She always dreamt about the family love which she never got in her early life. And here Dipanshi is all pampered by her family. She is loved by everyone. Forbidden Princess has love story troop Saudebazi has Arranged Marriage troop

Forbidden Princess has billionaire/CEO Troop, friends to lover troop, have many secrets which unfolds with story goes on. And Saudebazi is going to be a sweet simple Arranged Marriage - Love Story. How both of them flourish their love . It's about 'He fell first, but She fell harder'

Q. Interesting!

As you are still writing it, what do you think motivates you to write Saudebazi?

A. How readers reacted to it.

Whenever I open this app I got so much notifications .. many of them add it in their reading lists and some of them vote on it.

Other than that I just want to write this story so Whenever I feel low, I pushed myself a little and started writing it.

In between all these , I am an SSC aspirant, it's a commission which organised exams for govt. Jobs in India (sharing this if only you are not from India :⁠-⁠) )As it's my dream to be an Govt. Employee so I was usually busy because of it. Which also affects my story.Many a times it took more than 2 weeks for an update

Q. So your readers were the ones who pushed you to write. In your opinion, what are some interesting features of Saudebazi and Forbidden Princess?

A. Yeah, they are the main reason. In my opinion, Forbidden Princess - Couple's Sweet and Sour banter, Siblings bond, His Possessiveness, Her Anger, it's mystery-how the characters were related to each other, FL's love and dedication for her best friend. Saudebazi - Teacher-Student banter, His Helplessness, Her laughing at his expense, Her not-so-possesive self, His Dissociative Personality Disorder <⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠> , Siblings bond, Father-Daughter Love.

Also both main lead's friends, they also have great impact in their life.

Q. Oh, Saudebazi's teacher character has DID? How surprising. 

 Friends always impact one another. 

 I heard that Forbidden Princess just won an awards, the Platinum Awards. How do you feel?

A. It's amazing , I am literally on cloud nine And since then, it's getting more and more views For Saudebazi, FL was the one who thought he had Multiple Personality Disorder, but how much it's true ... For this we have to wait for the chap where it will be disclosedAnd for 'Forbidden Princess' , I never thought that it will gain so much audience. There was a day I was dreaming for 20k views and here it already crossed 100k views (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

Q. Wow, congratulations! Is there anyone you would like to thank for helping Forbidden Princess reach this milestone?

A. There isn't only one person , everyone who read the story are responsible for this achievement ☺️☺️

So, I would like to thank all of them, who read the story ❤️

Q. Ah, your readers. 

 I do have two more questions for you: I have just two more questions for you: 

 1. What new stories or future projects do you have in mind? Could you tell the readers more about it so we can get excited together :) 

2. What is one piece of advice you would like to give to any aspiring authors?

A. First question is the most interesting question :⁠-⁠) So there are so many stories and these are here:- 1. It can be seen as 2nd book in Forbidden Series but can be read stand-alone, in this story you'll see Mafia boss and one Lost Mafia Princess. She knows who she is yet she didn't want to disclose her real self and why is that this will be disclose in the story.

2. It's a supernatural story . This story can also be seen as 3rd book in Forbidden Series but can be read stand-alone, in this story the FL didn't know who she is and thought that she was abandoned by her parents and the ML is a werewolf and the Alpha King, who ruled on the whole werewolf community Both of these stories has so much mystery which I think intrigue readers as well as it did to me. (⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠)3. It's a story is on real-life scenerio. In this story FL forgot her past in an accident. And she really has the worse past ever. 4. This story is on Secret Agent genre. It has lookalike FLs .5. This story is cooking up in my mind since I started reading Rebirth books (⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠) so this one would be on Rebirth/Transmigration but this can be considered as the side book of Forbidden Princess. It will be on one of it's character.There are some more but I won't bore you with my rant (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠')As for your second question, I don't have any advice but I would love to hear from them, if I made a mistake in my writings (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

Q. And that's all I have for you! Thank you for your time, Crystal! And best of luck for the rest of your writing journey!

A. Welcome and Thank You So Much for this wonderful interview ❤️❤️
