Q & A

Hey guys, I just wanted to come back to this book and answer few questions that most of you ask me.

I'm really sorry that I can't reply to each and every one of you but all of you mean a lot to me. Without your support, I wouldn't be here.

Thank you.

Also, there might be spoilers in this part so if you haven't finished the book, please don't read this Q&A. If you have finished then keep flipping but if you haven't then go and finish reading the book first.

Anyways, let's get started with this thing already.

___

Q- Is there a sequel to your story?

A- yes but I don't know if you want to call it a sequel. it's more like a spinoff of this book and it's on my profile names 'Abandoned.'

Q- How did you come up with your story 'Accidentally Met Mr. Billionaire?'

A- well to be completely honest, i have no idea. ever since i was ten year old, i loved to write down notes. many times i would be spacing out and would think of a plot so i would make a note of it in a book. i jumbled couple of my ideas together and created this story. that is how this story came to be.

Q- Why is your story awfully similar to Bang Bang?

A- now that i heard it many times i decided to answer your questions. i am aware of that movie but it's nothing like my book. i have a grandma who's really chill and who inspired me into writing a book. it's not copying if two concepts are similar but i swear guys they are completely different.

Q- Why are the names of your character Indian? It's weird.

A- why is that weird in first place? i don't find it weird. i mean i am Indian and i wanted to have my supporting cast Indian so i did. it's not weird because you read everything i write for you and they are a huge part of the book.

Q- Why is Olive so stupid? Why doesn't she just hear chase out?

A- hey guys that's really rude. I mean yeah it gets annoying when one of the main protagonists don't let the other one complete their sentence and assume things but that doesn't mean they are wrong.

olive does everything as she pleases. she didn't listen to chase because she assumed that chase hasn't changed, but he did.

chase also does the same with olive towards the end but nobody thinks he is stupid. why does everyone blame the female protagonists for everything when the male protagonists are just as same.

maybe I don't understand how it all works.

Q- What happened to Olive's first daughter and her second daughter?

A- guys I made it pretty clear when I said that there is a sequel to this book which is about olive's first daughter. she is the daughter of olive and richard. yes, that happened.

Q- Why did everything happen so fast? Like I'm so confused.

A- i don't know what you're talking about. i took it all nice and slowly until the end when i had to complete the book. it doesn't mean it all happened so fast. I did tell you guys that it has been six months since olive and chase broke up. i think i made myself pretty clear but if i didn't then i'm sorry.

Q- How did Olive and Chase become so close just by one meeting?

A- they just connected, sometimes that's all you need. they were on a date and they talked a lot and got to know each other well. also, guys they were drunk so some of what they felt was all the old feelings towards other people. they both were alone.

Q- Is having writers block normal?

A- yes, it's as normal as normal can be. it comes with time but it surely comes. everyone experiences writers block once in their book-writing life. don't freak out if you have a writer's block, it does go away when you get more inspiration.

Q- How can I start writing a book?

A- writing a story is hard and it takes a lot of commitment. coming up with a book isn't an easy task and i'm so happy that because of me many of you also started writing. i feel special that i am the source of your inspiration. about writing a book, all i can say is that put everything into the book. think about the plot first and a title. it might take you a while but when you come up with a story, it all goes uphill from there.

Q- Do you allow translations for your books?

A- i'm sorry but i don't allow translations. i don't know if i ever will but you will get to know if i ever do.

Q- Who is the cast for the characters?

A- good question, actually i don't know. I mean i never thought of my book as a book with cast. but if you want a cast then you should let me know and i will get on to it. you can imagine whoever you want for now anyways.

Q- How can I gain a lot of reads?

A- patience. it works like magic. i remember when i first hit the publish button, i was so scared for others to read my story. everyone start at 1 reads. i did and many of my friends did too but it isn't bad. it's something. you're not going to end up with 1M views when you hit that publish button.

i remember how happy i was when i hit 10 reads, then 100, then 1K. it's patience, hard work and dedication.

you can't start a story and delete it if it's not getting enough reads. you need to write and publish more chapters for people to get interested in your book. start with a blast which lures them into wanting more of your book.

sometimes people get 100K reads in a month meanwhile others get it in a year. everything might not go as you planned which is why you need to have patience.

everything will come to you once you write. it just takes patience and dedication towards your book.

Q- Did you plan out your story?

A- no. to be honest, i had no idea that i was going to end my book on this note but it all came to me while writing this book.

i remember starting this book and thinking of how i will make it different than all others. it did take me a while to come up with all the plot twists and everything but i did.

i think it was chapter 8 where I thought that I should have some more consequences. later, i knew how to make Olive's past a little troublesome.

i never had any idea that this would be the final piece. i would just write and publish and continue doing the same because i wanted to see how my story progresses. then, I had a huge twist and continued the story from there.

sometimes being lost helps you find your way to your destination.

Q- I don't know about you, but I have felt discourage many times while writing a book. Have you ever felt discouraged or troubled and thought of deleting your story?

A- yes, i have felt discouraged and troubled about my book many times but i didn't give up. giving up something you love because you don't get enough reads, isn't me.

even though i didn't have enough reads, i still kept on going. feeling discouraged is normal but you get better by every chapter you publish. nobody perfects their writing by one chapter.

think about how many times Shakespeare would have written and threw away drafts of Romeo and Juliet. imagine him sitting on a bench in United Kingdom and writing away. he must've had writers block but he kept writing and his final product is a well known play in the entire history of writing.

(why did i give that example? i seriously have no life😂)

when writers block hits you, it hits your hard. it feels as though your story is worthless and you're sick and tired of it.

yes, i felt that way about my book once but i overcame it by writing more and more. i overcame it by all of my readers who always supported me throughout everything.

you can do this!

Q- Did you know that your story was going to have 52 chapters and an epilogue?

A- initially, no. i never thought of how many chapters i want my story to have. all I thought about was that i want to resolve all the issues and explain everything. that is how this book came to have 52 chapters.

i didn't think that i would write an epilogue. i wrote it because i wanted to give everyone a closure about chase and olive's daughters and everyone else.

i wrote it because many of you asked me to and then I thought about it and decided to write it.

Q- How do you make your covers?

A- i use tumblr to find the pictures and then use either picsart or phonto for the font and effects.

Q- Do you have any tips for newcomers who are hitting the publish button for the first time?

A- to be completely honest, i would consider myself a new comer too but all i can advise is that make friends. when you have friends who encourage you and wish you all your luck, it makes everything easy.

support is a must for the newcomers because then you might feel obligated to write.

join book clubs and other clubs, if you have time. i sometimes think where i would be if i joined a book club.

also, book clubs are read for read and vote for vote. they might vote and comment on your story but it doesn't truly mean that they are giving honest feedback. sometimes, people said nice things about my book but then when i ask for an honest feedback, i do get some criticism.

so, there are pros and cons for joining book clubs. if you want reads and comments then it is perfect for you but if you want honest feedback then ask someone if they have time to read your book.

feedback is always appreciated.

Q- Are you Indian?

A- yes, Indian and proud! which is one of the reasons why Rhea and Sameer are in my story. they kept some of my desi-ness inside of me, alive.

Q- How do you plan to update abandoned now that it's an actual book?

A- honestly, i don't know. hell, i don't even have a schedule. i never had it for this book and I don't think I will have it for abandoned. yeah, keeping an updating schedule is neat but I just wrote and publish whenever I feel like it. it could be a day or a month.

- I love you so much, you're such an amazing writer and friend. I wish to meet you someday and I wish your book crosses millions and billions one day.

A- i don't even know how to reply to this much love and support i get from my readers. some of you are just so sweet and all of you are very close to my heart. thank you so much for reading my book and loving it. i love you more guys!
