The questionnaire with Neha Shwens Firoz
1.
How
did you first get involved in with writing, are you an imaginative person?
There was a time when I used to write in diaries. I was very fond of
writing. But at that time, I had no sense that this passion for writing could
also by profession. I still remember the day when my friend advised me to write
a book knowing my interest in writing. Since then It became my aim to write a
book. And yes, I'm an imaginative girl so it was never too tough to write ever
for me.
2.
What
do you find most challenging about your writing?
Now I'm thinking over to write a true story of someone's life.
Therefore, it's going to be more challenging for me. To write based on
imagination is simple for me than writing something true.
3.
What
do you do when you are not writing?
When I'm not writing, I read novels as well as religious books.
4.
Where
do you see yourself in the next 6 months?
In the next 6 months, I see me as a Founder of my own 'Tanzo Open
Mic for students.
5.
How do
you keep coming up with material/content for your story?
Imagination, observation, understanding, experiences and family
support give me content for my write-up.
6.
Any
specific tips you have for new writers who want to make it big in the world of
published books?
Dear writers,
You can't think yourself a writer unless you fall in love with the idea of reading. Don't limit your reading to a genre. Read different books to
gain free perspective like I get the help of this from my literary advisor who
always recommends me books to read.
Direct your focus on your feelings, idea and opinions; and how to
put them on papers.
Write for yourself; rewrite for others'…this is one of the greatest
writing tips for beginners anyone could give you. Know your audience better
than they know themselves. Act as if you are speaking to one person and write
accordingly to create an emotional tie with your readers. One great way to do
that is to connect with your readers to learn their perspective, their side of the story. Make your readers feel something.
7.
What’s
the best thing a writer can give to his readers?
Love, stress reduction, vocabulary expansion, concentration, better
writing skills etc.
8.
Where
is your favourite place to write?
My room where I spend most of my time in peace.
9.
What
motivates you most in life?
It was my sister late. Tanzo who used to inspire me to do what I
love and dream to be. She's not around me but her words motivate me always.
10.
What
are your views on increasing plagiarism?
It's very sad that people do so. They can steal words but not the
creative writers have in their writing.
11.
What
is the story behind the name of your book?
Filled with questions and themes of clashing backgrounds, crime,
suspense, love, family feuds and personal scandals, this book will have you
flipping through the pages anxiously. It brings you back to the realities of
life: how fragile love can be and the realizations of trust and fear. Hotbed
Against Bond of Love narrates the relationship between Mayank and Naina and
offers a unique reading experience. Direct and action-packed, the masterful use
of emotion and suspense will keep you totally engrossed and guessing until the
end.
