Readers Muse welcomes Rubayata Umeed who is answering a few questions for us!
Hello Rubayata!
- Tell us more about your journey as an author.
About your first book?
I started writing when I had no theme for poems. Before
my first novel, I wrote poems occasionally but later I shifted to story
writing. ‘Wizards X Beasts’ was already in my mind but writing on it came later,
when I tried to find a specific idea for my story. Talking about inspiration,
two Japanese anime shows, ‘Air’ and ‘Dance with Devils’, helped a lot. When my
mother liked my story, she thought of publishing it. I accepted the idea and my
first book came into existence.
- How did the idea of Zero
Dream Football Alfresco come to you?
The idea came accidentally. I constantly keep thinking about
stories and while thinking this occurred suddenly and I started writing on it.
- Do you do anything
special while writing?
Yes. While writing, I listen to music and imagine the
story scenes.
- Who is your biggest
inspiration in the literary world?
Not anyone yet, because I have not read many books. Due
to school work, I could not read much else. But after writing my first book, I
started reading more books for inspiration and to expand my vocabulary.
- What would you say is
your supporting factor in your journey?
My mother, cousins and rest of my family I would say are
supporting factors in my journey.
- As a published author,
what is one advice you’d give to other youngsters who want to write?
I want to say, don’t think about what others say about
your writings, listen to yourself and move on.
- Other than writing, what else
fascinates you?
I like drawing, reading something I like, and watching
movies, and anime shows. Also I like solving math problems, reading political
science and geography, and watching news.
- Could you tell us a bit
more about your upcoming projects?
I have a lot of ideas in mind, and I am writing on a few.
Will tell more once a book is finalised and written fully.
- Is there something
special that fascinates you and urges you to write about it?
To keep my themes and ideas in order specially
fascinates me to write. Getting new ideas and keeping them organised is a
wonderful feeling.
The natural beauty and the
serenity of the ambience of my hometown has helped me in writing. It keeps me calm
and fills me with wonder when I am busy creating stories.
Thank you, Rubayata for patiently answering the
questions from my end! Here’s wishing you more and more success in your current
and upcoming ventures. Best wishes!
