Nita: When and how did you start your journey of
writing?
Shreyasi: Thanks to these social networking sites
specially Facebook which brought few chances for me to explore this never
planned field. My fiction got selected in an anthology authored by Ms. Henna
Priya, which was my very first professional writing attempt apart from usual fb
posts and notes. Eagerness increases when you taste success and this was how I
took writing seriously.
Nita: What inspired you for writing?
Shreyasi: Writing was my childhood dream. But I never
thought I can do it. Later, when I saw many youngsters coming into writing
professionally, I landed my step.
Fortunately, there were few well-wishers, who guided and supported me
throughout my journey. I felt more confident and took the affair seriously.
Nita: Is there any specific genre that you prefer to read or
write?
Shreyasi: I prefer reading as well as writing anything motivational / inspirational
Nita: How will you explain your books?
Shreyasi: Well, my books deals with offbeat stories.
The reality of life. They can be the stories of any one. I write mostly
on/about females. Tells about their lives, conditions and challenges. I don’t prefer to
write mainstream genre as Love, Romance or Thriller. Market is flooded with
them. I like to talk and represent girls, for whom no one cares. So, my pen
speaks for and about them.
Nita: How was your book publishing journey?
Shreyasi: Well, so far it's going well. Getting
support, help from many new people to make my books reach the masses.
Nita: Is writing your passion or profession?
Shreyasi: I would quote writing as my profession.
Nita: How did you manage time between your full time
profession and writing?
Shreyasi: I follow a definite schedule. Everything is
planned. I save time from one activity and invest it in the other. Writing, I count as my profession, so I give
enough and equal important to it like my other profession. But yes, you need to
sacrifice personal or social life as you’ve 24 hours in your cart.
Nita: Best piece of writing advice from you?
Shreyasi: First you need to understand what you’re going to
write? What will be your final vision of output? What kind of writing style you’re
possessing? What’s your strong & weak zone of writing? Do not try to copy someone’s style,
develop your own. Your writing style should become your identity. Always remember, everyone has a story but not
all are the writers.
Nita: Something personal about you, people may be surprised
to know.
Shreyasi: Hmmmm... I don't think I have anything
personal as such to be known.
Nita: Any message to your fans?
Shreyasi: A greatest thanks to my all dear for
showing their love and support in my works . I wish you will do the same for
"18 Via Teen Be Yourself" too.
