 #1 Where do you get your ideas?

 Ans: I've always had a vivid imagination. But I think the factor that helps me the most with story ideas is my lucid dreams. I swear I dream up the craziest of scenarios. Most of my stories are updated versions of my dreams, in a way.

 #2 What is your writing process like?

 Ans: I'm a plantser all the way through. But I do get some spurts of ideas, at times, that could possibly make my story...more digestible, I guess? I discard some and keep the ones that'll add to the story plot and character development.

 #3 What authors did you dislike at first but grew into?

 Ans: I tried writing books ever since I could make sense of words, even though the plot made no sense and would get discontinued five chapters in. So I understood, in a way, the pains that real, professional writers go through to really complete a book. So I never really disliked a writer. The books that I didn't enjoy much... I really believe that their books just weren't to my taste or preference. I hope that makes sense. I could blabber away for hours about things that make no sense. 

 #4 Do you want each book to stand on its own, or are you trying to build a body of work with connections between each book?

 Ans: The books that I've completed so far are stand-alone books and strictly so (absolutely NOT because I have no idea how to extend the plot. Lol). But jokes apart, none of my current published works really need a series. But maybe in the future for some other wip...? We'll see.

#5 Do you try more to be original or to deliver to readers what they want?

 Ans: I try to keep my works as original as I possibly can. But at the same time, I'm so very grateful when my readers point out spots where I can improve, may it be in terms of the plot or grammar. And almost all of the time, their suggestions are gold. I try my best to pay attention to what they teach me through every single comment. And I'd be lying if I say that I haven't improved because of them. Special mention to the precious gem who I'm sure will be reading this and knows that I'm talking about them

About the book: 'Paranormal Diaries' was my entry for this year's ONC, actually. So the book revolves around the prompt that I chose from their given list. As for the rest, I was always fascinated by the whole Romeo and Juliet plot and also vampires and werewolves. Merging them together has been one hell of a journey. 'Paranormal Diaries' is only a novella. I'm rewriting it as a novel under the name 'Cryptid' with some renewed arcs and plot twists;-)
