When do you think someone should call themselves a writer?
When they write something of course.
What difference do you see between a writer and an author?
I don't see any difference. They both just write. An author publishes his literary works a writer mostly markets his source to anyone (print and visual) The meaning of it changes in every timeline.
What do the words “writer’s block” mean to you?
It happens to everyone who doesn't have a mental break, the way I see it. Not just writers. Happens when you don't have a balance between Creativity and a relaxed diversion. Every job needs a break like summer holidays. Ofcourse Creative people have more than the rational ones.
How do you process and deal with negative book reviews?
100 dogs growling doesn't mean a roar. A Lion cannot change the attitudes of a dog.
What is the most challenging part of your writing process?
The silent stories with 2 to 5 Characters. I had to write 12 episodes for Elon and Doge to an American cartoon studios with 2 to 5 Characters silent episodes because of their budget. And once I had an Nick cartoon Beon and Penny to an Indian client for whom I had to write the entire season with chasing each other. That made me wonder about the legend William Hannah and Joseph Barbera, who wrote Tom and Jerry for MGM from 1938-1958 with just pure chasing.
How long have you been writing, or when did you start?
I began writing in 4th grade. Ie., Elementary. My professional writing career began in 2016. When I started writing for commercials.
What advice would you give writers working on their first book?
Write.
How do you develop your plot and characters?
I create a character with my glimpses and form his base, then ground it to the routes and then construct a story around them. Then create plots and see to it my plots give an insights to spiritual awakening.
How many books have you written, and which is your favorite?
16 Books and all of them are my favourite. If you have one favourite book you are not confident to be a writer. You must learn to love what you do.
What part of the book did you have the hardest time writing?
Not Books. Because I don't have silent stories with minimal characters. but the cartoons videos I wrote. Because you must satisfy the studios budget with your stories.
What inspired the idea for your book?
The Illustrated Novels of the 17th to 20th century. They were the base for all kinds of fictions for the future. They are forgotten by the authors today. Many of the authors don't even know what is an illustrated novel. It's like you are making a film without knowing Akira Kurasowa or Woody Allen.
What was your hardest scene to write, and why?
Hardest Scene, was the prolonging of the chasing sequence in Beon and Penny.
What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?
Happiness and calm peaceful mind. Completely detached from your script yet totally involved in it. It's a Yogik process.
If you could spend a day with another popular author, whom would you choose?
The authors I looked up to don't exist anymore. So forget it. It's never gonna happen.
When was the last time you Googled yourself and what did you find?
Every time I published a book 😁 and I found what I needed that's enough.
