Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Well, i am still at university, studying, i have a mild symptoms of Agraphia. I have written two poetry books and my first novel is almost complete.
I also like to act out my character i have written or my famous character like captain Jack (Johnny depp) from time to time and see how they react.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called ‘Dark romeo’ the reason it’s called Dark romeo because it has some very real and sincere poetry which is profound and ultimately dark.
some poems may sound profane and outrageous because it’s meant to be like that and for all the people who had some kind of love story in their life and didn’t end well
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yup, i don’t know how uncommon it is but my creativity goes wild at night some night i don’t sleep at all. from 1 am to 4, 4 :30 am.
I also have this unusual habit is that whenever my professor starts his lecture i start getting this idea and in few minutes i am lost in my words and usual i am thrown out for not paying attention. But i don’t know its comes very spontaneous and that is the main reason i attain my lectures and usual sit in last bench
What authors, or books have influenced you?
If you talk about poetry nothing comes closer to me more than Wordsworth i mean he was the pioneer. At you know when you come to a certain age when you start wondering about the clouds and horizon and you are just curious i had the privilege to know Wordsworth. I will never forget the day i read Tintern abbey.
Talking about other writer i like Jeffery archer, the very obvious Stephen king and their are many writer who you meet in your way sharing and exchanging works together. I think they all are brilliant and talented i would like to see every indie at top.
What are you working on now?
Oh! the thing i am working on or say i have been working on this story which i wrote when i was in high school. The thing i could not get over that story was that it was very innocent and sincere so i have been working on it. It will be my first novel and it’s coming very good it has some of my own perks like its little bit rebellious and off course their is intense passion little bit quirky.
but i also believe that its our job as a writer not to play safe and vomit out words influenced by market and the obvious taste. I believe that the void inside us has to come out in the form of our character
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Right now its very hard for me to say that because its all new to me now. and i have been doing lot of experiment that what works in internet and what not? and i have made some really wrong decisions but i happy to make them as its my learning curve. fortunately one day i will be clever enough to use the gift of internet to its full potential.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes, i have and that is make mistakes please do and you are only going to make mistake when you do something. when you publish your first raw work when you are unknown to tools present in the internet and you publish. When your work is filled with silly grammar mistakes and you publish it.
I say do it because i have never seen a writer getting bigger by not doing anything.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Start using social media. Because i am very socially awkward guy and writers are usually like that but the mistake i did was arriving with my book at the door without knowing the people inside. So eventually they will reject me so i got this lesson that you have to have a strong presence in social media which also helps in growing as a personality.
What are you reading now?
Right now i am reading Wuthering heights i was procrastinating that i will do so now i am doing it. i don’t how long it will go because i am very lazy reader.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have tasted the self publishing industry now i want to have experience in the traditional way.
