Hey guys! This week I have have the pleasure of promoting Midnightaria and her book The City Is Silent
Here is the summary:
After a car-accident leaves
her mother paralysed from the waist-down, Grace isn’t sure if she can ever
experience happiness again.
Change is the reason her
mother is a different person; the reason her pianist father plays only bitter
melodies and why her outgoing-self diminished to an introvert who cannot
express herself verbally, but with artistic creations.
The times she spends
scrawling in a sketchbook are moments she cherishes most. For that tiny amount
of time, her broken life is forgotten -and, as impulsive as any other career
decision, Grace knows she wishes to make it her future.
In order to embrace the
competitive world of art, however, artists need to repeatedly alter their
techniques and skills to match their opponents.
But how can somebody, so afraid of letting go, chase
her unstable dreams?And what about MidnightAria? Let's have a sneak peek at how and why she writes!
Name/Wattpad username/Pen name: Ramisa R or MidnightAria. You
are welcome to call me Remy.
Country of Origin: Bangladesh, although I currently reside in
the warm glory of Australia (so much sun!)
Place of inspiration: Anywhere, really. I can honestly write
whenever or wherever I want, as I believe writing is more subjected to
discipline rather than inspiration. However, if we're talking in terms of inspiration,
I love reblogging things on tumblr (midnightaria.tumblr.com) of things that
inspire me. Sometimes, when I click on my website, I find inspiration. :)
Current finished work(s): Currently, I have completed The City
Is Silent and have uploaded it on Wattpad. I plan on completing Violet Ink
before the end of this year.
Genre and why you like writing in this genre: The City Is Silent
is literary fiction/coming of age fiction. Coming of age will forevermore be my
favourite genre. Watching a character differentiate from the beginning of a
book to the end (not always in a good way) is beautiful beyond words.
Published works of inspiration: Like the novels I write, I am also extremely fond of the
coming-of-age genre. I simply love watching the main character change, in any
situation, from the beginning to the end of a book. My favourite authors do
just that: Siobhan Dowd, Maureen McCarthy and Kate McCaffrey. My favourite book
of all-time is a non-fiction book written in the prose of a narrative (Joan of Arc,
Lili Wilkison) which revolve around the actual adventures of Joan of Arc but
told in a rich, engaging way.
Editing process: I actually tend not to edit until I've got my
first draft, as editing gives me the "writer's doubt" and will result
in an uncompleted manuscript.
Reaction of friends and family who have read your works: My
family and friends don't read my works. My parents are too busy, and my friends
in reality have a life (!). However, my internet friends are wonderful,
beautiful supporters --they are my family and friends.
Anything planned for the future with your writing: I plan on writing many novels once my OP (senior years) are over. I am thinking of a main character with a mental illness, a science fiction story questioning humanity and a lighthearted comedy about the life of comedians (while also exploring the darkness in their lives).
Thank you for this opportunity to interview you and for wanting to promote! if anyone hasn't had the chance to check out Wattpad, do so now at www.wattpad.com :)
Have a great day! :)
