When and how did you get into writing?

I've enjoyed writing since I was a child, and I especially enjoy journaling because it helps me to keep my anxieties and negative thoughts at bay. It aids in the healing of the unwound. Also, reading is one of my hobbies. I read Harry Potter books at the age of 12, which built my passion to read and write.

What is your favourite thing about writing?

You can always play with words to express your truest self. That is my absolute favourite aspect of writing.

In your opinion, who are some of the most influential writers?

JK Rowling, in my opinion, is one of the most influential writers. She has written brilliantly and continues to astound us with her imagination and articulation.

Can you describe your writing process, from concept to publishing?

I simply consider the subject I want to write about. Following that, I write initial ideas and then revise the article to improve it. I don't follow any process, so I don't recommend it to anyone.

What would you say is your biggest strength as a writer?

My greatest strength is the courage to be vulnerable in front of my readers while expressing myself in the finest and most effective words.

What is your favourite piece of content that you’ve created and why?

My personal favourite article that I wrote is "Lessons Learned from Strangers," in which I describe my first encounters with strangers and share some of my fondest memories with them.

If I would like to improve my content, I’ll read different styles of writing to get new ideas and implement the same.

Do you think writing as a skill is very under-appreciated in our country?

Yes, I think it is underappreciated. Many people are unaware of its scope, and many do not consider it a viable career option because it is not an easy path.

Have you used SEO keywords to increase traffic to your article? If yes, then how?

Yes, I used SEO keyword strategy to drive traffic. I use Google Keywords and Keyword Planner to find relevant keywords. I look for the search volume, which tells me about the keyword's relevance. As a result, it aids in selecting the most appropriate keywords.

Believing in the cause helps me stay motivated to write.

Have you ever faced writer’s block? If yes, how did you deal with it?

Yes. When I get writer's block, I take a break to clear my head and come up with fresh thoughts.

What advice would you give to a new writer?

I would advise new writers to read and write on a regular basis to develop their style. Everyone writes differently and uniquely, which is why knowing one's style is essential. My mantra is to be determined and to keep practising.
