Know about your Authors

@Athikil

Pen Name: Athikil

Username: Athikil

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

It's not my legal name, this is silly but it's my actual name spelled backwards.

How many books have you published till date?

I have written six full fledged novels on Wattpad. I have not published in print, but I plan on doing so in the near future.

What are your future projects?

I am planning to write a romance thriller about an affair between two unlikely people. Hopefully will work on it next year.

What is writing to you?

Writing is therapy to me. At the end of day, I honestly just want to take out of my laptop or my phone and type away, it helps me release my stress. It makes me happy.

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

I have to say, it is sort of both. I realised I like to write, funnily my name Likitha actually means "the one who writes." But it has been my dream to be a published author someday.

What genre books you like to work on?

I love Romance, but I want to write a Thriller.

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

Depends,I have a hectic life. I will write it, but I cannot promise when I will finish it.

Then we would like you to try a Fantasy Thriller Romantic  genre 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 a passion. It's the most beautiful thing because you are offering the reader an escape through your work. Sometimes when you've had a bad day and you read something positive, it really makes a difference. So the most important impact of writing is that it's subjective, what you write is just 10%, your story is different to every reader because every reader has his/her own imagination..

Who are your favorite authors in and out of wattpad?

I don't really have favorites, but the writer of a book called "Islands" I think I'm not sure...I really enjoyed that book

Name few of your close wattpad friends.

I'm not active in that way on wattpad, I haven't really made any friends but two of my biggest supports have been readingescapsm and Toluwanimi200. I absolutely love them both!

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

I'm a huge fan of Stranger Things so I was really excited about the latest season. It was a great watch. So that's the most recent thing I've watched.

Who is your favorite actor/actress?

My favorite actress would be Kangana Ranaut(she's a very versatile Bollywood actress, I'm Indian you see) and favorite actor has to be LeoDiCaprio( :P )

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

Villain...hmm I can't really think of anybody right now.

What are your hobbies other than writing and reading?

I love to sing and dance!

What are your hidden talents?

I love to sing and dance!

Who is your first celebrity crush?

This amazing actor called Hrithik Roshan. One of the most attractive men on the planet, easily.

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

I once cursed on stage at a very important event in school. That was very embarrassing and scary. Nothing happen though, thankfully.

One craziest thing you have ever done?

Probably I once sneaked out of the house and went for a drive around the city at 3AM. It was great.

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.

I think everybody should write. We all have millions of stories in us and writing is a great way to show that. And it's not important to be a popular author, but if even one person relates to your work or if your work resonates with someone, I think that's commendable.

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

Comics? I love to read them. But write them? No. I've never thought about it but I am certain that I am not interested to write a comic. It's just not my cup of tea!
