Know about your Authors

@SindhuraKotaru

Pen Name: Previously JheovaCindy but now itz SindhuraKotaru

Username: I already answered that

Is your pen name your legal name? If no, then how did you make up one?

Right now it is but not my previous name and I'm going to answer that meaning here. (All of ya who asked, this is for you!) So, Jheova means only one god and Newton use to sign his name as Jheova often and that fact literally go to me, so Jheova and Cindy to add a personality to that name

How many books have you published till date?

I think approximately ten but I keep taking down and keeping up a few stories if the impact of writing the story wears off in me. I write only if I feel like it, I hate it when the words have to be forced out of me. Writing is an enjoyable process not a chore for me.

What are your future projects?

Darling, many. I'm done for my life with the ideas in my head but those devious little bitches pop into my head every now and then like mushrooms that grow on a moist log of wood.

What is writing to you?

Writing is a wonderland. You can make anything or break anything. It's literally in your hands and that's the best escape from our mundane life now a days. Actually it was writing that helped me pass through ten years of my depression, it turned me to a sane person and its not enough if I call it my Elixer.

Is being an author, your long time dream or a hidden passion you found out later?

Strictly speaking, I use to hate reading itself as a child if the front cover doesn't spell Tinkle but I use to write fan fictions of Enid Blyton's famous five and secrect seven (I had a wierd obcession of winning the bravery award which I never got) and it got lost with time as I lost my obcession of adventure. Later, I read a book outside Wattpad and thlught 'I can write like this' and writing was unearthed again! So, I'd say its a hidden passion.

What genre books you like to work on?

Genre is not a criteria for me, its mostly a story which gets stuck in my head for ages and I have to get it off my mind, that I write. I need to enjoy writing the story and the characters should interest and facinate me. For some switching Genre is difficult, its no biggie for me but I can't write fanfictions.

If we challenge you to write a book of another genre we suggest, then would you take it up?

Sure, bring it on!

Then we would love to read a Historical book from you soon.

Writing is a reality that paints a beautiful fantasy. What do you think are the charms of writing fiction/non fictional books?

Writing is the only way we can open a door to imagination in a reader. In other forms of art, you make it clear to the viewer's eye of what you did but writing is the only form of art which can be personal to the preciever. You hold a long duration of a person's attention and the impact you can make (if you achieved to do so) will be massive and I think those are the charms of writing.

Who are your favorite authors in and out of wattpad?

There is a long list but I'll sum it up with a few: Douglas Adem, Issac Asimov, Wilkie Collins, R.K. Narayan, Ruskin Bond, Joe Rowling and in recent times its David Nicholls and Jo Jo Moyes. Coming to wattpad  kiarasinha, helloastrido, KatieCross4, TahliePurvis, and akrox58

What is your favorite series you have recently watched or read?

I don't usually finish a series if something irks me off and if I do finish it, I read it a million times. I recently read Six of crows series and it does fall under read a million times category for the two books that are out.

Who is your favorite actor/actress?

Jhonny Depp, Helena Bonaham Carter, Alan Rickman, Nandita Das, Kathi and Aditi Rao Hydari

Who is your favorite Villain you couldn't help but love?

Anyone can fit in that category except for Dolores Umbridge, Cersie and Jaime Lanister

What are your hobbies other than writing and reading?

I sketch or paint and I garden.

What are your hidden talents?

Well, apart from writing, I love doing Charcoal sketches. The picture you find as my background image is what I drew. I also do mixed media works but I haven't tried oil painting, yet and I'm an orator.

Who is your first celebrity crush?

Okay, I won't call it a crush but adoration, maybe? So, I kinda adore Danield Radcliff for playing Harry Potter.

What is the most embarrassing situation that you have ever been through?

There was this time when I went for an inter school debate competition representing my school and I got Conjectivitis right then. So, I didn't prepare and I stood in front of the mike after defining the topic. It was embarassing as our school would have won if I spoke someting.

One craziest thing you have ever done?

Darling, crazy is me :-)

There are many authors who just started their journey and many readers who want to write but have no courage to do so. Please give them a tip and a word of encouragement.

Fear of not reflecting what's in your mind on the paper is common but if you let that fear rule you, that first step to a miracle will never happen. Remember that you can mend what's on the screen or paper but when you didn't jot down your thoughts, there's no way to mend it. So enjoy the process as your creating something which is personal. Keep grammer, redundancy and all that in the back burner and just write. This is coming from someone who use to think that if your last name is not Dickens or Shakesphere, you can't write.

Last but not the least, have you ever dreamt of writing your own comic?

Yup, I have, I happen to draw a comic version of myself to put as my dp but it came out mediocre and slightly close. So, sometime in the future, I might write a diary comic, although my mom would be the focal point if I ever write one
