Interview with Ritika of Illicit chrysalism

1. Can you tell us a little about yourself , your blog(s)/website(s),and your aspirations and your hobbies?

I am the author of illicitchrysalism.wordpress.in and go by Ritika. I am from Ahmedabad and currently am slogging towards my 12^th board exams. I shall hopefully pursue Honours in English, next year. Oh well, at the risk of sounding conceited I wish to author a book; nothing fancy though, just a collection of short relatable pieces of writing.

2. How you first got involved in with blogging/writing, are you an imaginative person?

Always known to be a wordsmith, blogging had always been a milestone I wished to mark. But I never really had the patience to sit through the entire ‘buiding your base’ process. Well all that until now when I actually set my heart to doing it. And here I am.

3. What do you find most challenging about blogging/writing about your topic?

The most challenging part of writing like I do that I have come across is to not be repetitive. Usually most my works are short romantic fiction, but I manage to throw in a few motivational pieces.

4. Tell me about some of the people you have met while working on your blog?

There are quite a few people who manage to find my blog in this intense world of writing. Let me just say that they have been very loyal readers and I am immensely thankful to them for keeping up with me.

5. How would (someone) describe your blogging/writing style?

The best that I had heard someone say was that it was ‘Magical Realism’. But then it actually is that way. It is very basic human emotions weaved into words to make them look beautiful. And most importantly, this is my usp. I can safely say that all my readers follow me because they can relate to what I write and enjoy the way that I do.

6. What do you do when you are not working on your blog?

Let me just say that I am a very bad mother to my blog. When I’m not studying is when I actually write.

7 .Where do you see yourself blogging/writing wise in the next 6 months, and 5 years down the road?

In the very near future I want to have a sound background with my works published on good writing websites. And five years down the line, I definitely want to have authored a book.

7. What networking do you do that you feel helps your blogging/writing business?

I keep posting excerpts from my articles on my account on Instagram. Also my author pages on Teenink and WritersAsylum have a link to my blog. I also pay attention and reply to each comment on my blog.

8. How do you keep coming up with material/content for your blog? Many people struggle with coming up with different articles/posts and they only have one blog.

I am very observant. There are usually some moments when I am watching a movie or listening to some music when random lines strike me. I jot down every single one of them and when the idea matures to a certain extent, I sit down to put it on paper.

9. What’s your strategy with your blog in general?

Nothing specific, per se.

10. Any specific tips you have for newbie bloggers who want to make it in the blogosphere?

It will be difficult at first to gain a secure reader base, but keeping writing and you are sure to get noticed one day. It is a very rewarding experience.

11. What would you prioritize? Content? SEO? Traffic? Readers?

Most definitely, readers and content.

12. What’s the best thing a blogger can give to his readers?

An insight to his own life. Readers are hungry for something which tells them that they are not the only one in their mess.

13. A lot of people are interested in blogging/writing for the money earning potential. What are some tips for people interesting in making money from blogging/writing? What are some realistic expectations in regards to what can be made?

I haven’t taken any steps towards monetizing my writing. I am not the correct person to be giving my advice on this subject.

14. What motivates you most in life?

Appreciation and Acknowledgement.

15. What has been your strategy for creating visibility to yourself and your blog?

Relevant tags on my posts.

17 What was the most challenging moment in your blog content development process and why?

Constructing and channelizing my thoughts into one cohesive piece of writing.

18. Everyone has a favorite/least favorite post. Name yours and why?

It’s like asking me to choose between my children, I can’t.

19. Name some of the bloggers whom you look up to and why?

None.

20. What is the story behind the name of the blog?

Honestly, they are two beautiful words in perfect sounding harmony.

21. Your connection with any Blogger Network like Indi blogger or Writeupcafe or any other and the experience?

I am published on WritersAsylum and Teenink.

22. Which genre do you feel gets the raw deal?

There is such a varied audience out there that it is actually impossible to corner one specific genre.

23. Which one plug-in would you suggest all bloggers to have?

24. Five adjectives that describe you.

Intelligent, sassy, eloquent, opinionated and funny.

25. What book would you say has made the biggest impact good or bad on you?

It definitely has to be A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Kite Runner and And The Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini. He is a genius.

26. Do you get easily provoked by positive/negative comments??

I used to but I have hardened myself.

27. Do you plan to write a book, as every bloggers dream it is?

DEFINITELY.

28. Are you a judgmental person, do you prefer to take sides instead of standing neutral?

Not judgmental, but definitely opinionated. I am a debater and have learnt to analyze before taking any stand.

29. Your collaboration with other bloggers, are you much into social networking, tell us everything about it?

I haven’t had the chance to collaborate with other bloggers. However my Instagram has a lot of my works.

30. What genre attracts you the most and which genre you avoid?

I am not very choosy with what I read. However I tend to gravitate towards fiction.

31. Your Views on Contests and increasing plagiarism?

As a result of one such contest, one of my articles had been plagiarized and I was not too pleased.

32. Words for me and my blogs Desire v/s Destiny and Blogger Interviews and my Website www.MyMagicJobs.com

33. On winning the Award/s , Are they Really necessary.

I have been nominated for many awards on WordPress, but have very humbly decided to not accept any of them.

34. So what’s Next in your list?

Pursuing my undergraduate degree, and in the meanwhile working on my book.

35.Words for your readers and why they should follow you?

I shall engage your imagination like none other.

Well, I run foreverawkwardandlearning.wordpress.com, and my first book, The Inability of Words, is out in 2016 with Writer's Workshop, Calcutta. I'm currently pursuing my Masters in Public Policy from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, and I'm an aspiring civil servant. I also run a food blog on Instagram, @foreverawkwardandeating.

2. How you first got involved in with blogging/writing, are you an imaginative person?

I started writing seriously in around 7th grade, and had my phase of Facebook notes and WattPad before actually getting into blogging in first year of college. It's been quite a rollercoaster. I've always been super imaginative, so this was a great way to channelise it.

3. What do you find most challenging about blogging/writing about your topic?

I write poetry, so it's really easy to veer into pretentious writing. Keeping it honest and real are definitely the biggest challenges.

4. Tell me about some of the people you have met while working on your blog?

I actually haven't met too many people. My writing is pretty solitary.

5. How would (someone) describe your blogging/writing style?

9. How do you keep coming up with material/content for your blog? Many people struggle with coming up with different articles/posts and they only have one blog.

Hm, I read a lot. I keep observing things, and jotting them down. I never, ever delete drafts. A giant post of average quality may have a single spectacular idea that works. I've given two TEDx talks on the importance of creativity, and I'll tell you what I tell everyone. Just keep writing. Keep practising.

10. Whats your strategy with your blog in general?

Nothing, per se. I write first for myself, then for everyone else. I'm pretty sure that actually contributes a lot to my readership.

11. Any specific tips you have for newbie bloggers who want to make it in the blogosphere?

Be honest to yourself. Don't chase trends. Write what you want to. It's only when you stop living up to standards that you create your own.

My content is what sells me.

Something to think about.

14. A lot of people are interested in blogging/writing for the money earning potential. What are some tips for people interesting in making money from blogging/writing? What are some realistic expectations in regards to what can be made?

I don't earn a penny from my blog, so I'm probably not the best person to ask.

15. What motivates you most in life?

The possibility of inspiring someone.

16. What has been your strategy for creating visibility to yourself and your blog?

I just write. That's all. I write, and I write well. The visibility comes itself.

17 What was the most challenging moment in your blog content development process and why?

For every 3-4 poems you write, *one* is good. That editing is...tough.

18. Everyone has a favorite/least favorite post. Name yours and why?

Haha, it's like choosing between my children!

19. Name some of the bloggers whom you look up to and why?

None.

20. What is the story behind the name of the blog?

21. Your connection with any Blogger Network like Indi blogger or Writeupcafe or any other and the experience?

22. Which genre do you feel gets the raw deal?

Poetry! No publishers, no marketing, and we're called silly. It's so very frustrating.

23. Which one plug-in would you suggest all bloggers to have?

24. Five adjectives that describe you.

Passionate, aware, intelligent, funny, opinionated.

30. What genre attracts you the most and which genre you avoid?

Poetry. I dislike cheesy romance.

31. Your Views on Contests and increasing plagiarism?

I don't really do contests, but plagiarism is the single most painful thing a creator can face. It's terrible.

32. Words for me and my blogs Desire v/s Destiny and Blogger Interviews and my Website www.MyMagicJobs.com

So much cool work!

33. On winning the Award/s , Are they Really necessary.

Of course not.

Book review of Without a Goodbye by Swati Kumari

Blurb :

“27th October was like a normal weekend. Danica was in Patna with her uncle’s family. Before going for her competitive exam, she had called up her mother (Aarti) who lived in Fatehpur in a joint family. They had a regular conversation and ended the call. Aarti said that she would call Danica after her exam, in the evening.

In the evening Danica called her mom, but both her mobiles were switched off.

She called her aunt and was informed that Aarti had been missing since afternoon.

What happened to her? How can the thread that unites a family completely break with this sudden incident?

Does ending one’s life really end the problems?

Is giving up, the only solution to the problem?

A daughter and a mother. This is story of a life. You choose to live or to die.

About the book :

Swati in her debut novel has shared present state of women and how society looks at her when she is under some sort of critical phase in her life.She has written the book as her view of the society and is true to all extent.She has written simple English and is very easy to understand , the narration style uses picturesqueness and is amazing and you can actually feel what is written in the book.The book and plot is mildly paced and you feel no hurry in shifting from scenes.There is only a few scenes in the story where you feel you dont want so much details because you might know well in advance where it is heading.But overall you will be happy to finish the book.

I am trying to avoid spoilers here but you wont be able to guess the protagonist very easily till the last part of the book.book. Swati has shown the pain a women has to go through.Swati is successful in giving the message at the end which she wanted to.The book talks about what society actually wants from a women and what she should follow.As a debut novel she has done a great work like simple English , not too much drama and detailed perspective on things.

Overall the book is a onetime read and is very easy to understand.The book is short lengthen ,can be read in a day is light on the mind as well , if you enjoy reading thoughts on how you see life and situations you will certainly enjoy this book.We wish her all the best and congratulate on her debut book.

Overallrating : 3.7/5

I don’t have any secret strategy. It is simple ,I write for readers.So There is no secret strategy behind my blog .

11. Any specific tips you have for newbie bloggers who want to make it in the blogosphere?

I want to say to all your readers that blogging is not walking in a park You will get good and bad times .You will get achievement in the event that you do diligent work . I don’t like people who start blogging for a cause like they blog for some days and then stop blogging just because they don’t get money and traffic ! why I mean why. You should Focus on your content rather than focusing on your traffic ! So My advice to new bloggers is like don’t quit if you don’t get traffic ! Start posting some quality stuffs and you will get a decent amount of traffic . Remember This quote of mine You Should Blog to Express , Not To Impress! … Even I started from zero ! Take a step forward everyday and you will reach your destination ! You cant achieve anything in this world without dedication ! And One more thing don’t get into some cheat sites claiming you will get 1000sof $$$$ They can cheat you ! So my advice is to stay out of this or you may land up into in some big problem ! so don’t be a victim of online fraud or cheat … it will tempt you but don’t do it ! You should be punctual in your work .Make a task list of your day’s work and work accordingly . Plan for the best . Hope for the best . Don’t get upset if you are unsuccessful in driving traffic.

If you need to clarify any doubts just pings me on facebook (facebook.com/abishiekh.jain)

12. What would you prioritize? Content? SEO? Traffic? Readers?

That’s a tough question indeed.I would prioritize everything,because every element you listed plays an important role in every different field,so if I pick up just SEO,that wont make any sense because if you just do SEO without writing useful content then there would be no readers or traffic .So I guess you should work on every element effectively

13. Whats the best thing a blogger can give to his readers?

Content,useful content.And even honesty and motivation .

As I said in question #11 ,Don’t blog for money. If you come in blogosphere with the potential to earn easy money ,then you would go home disappointed ,PS Personal experience .I will share my story here.I came into blogging field to earn money,some people said it is the way to earn easy money ,just create a website,show ads and you will earn 1000$ I was very much interested ,did this but didn’t earned for first 11 months.Then started focusing on onpage seo ,quality content and then I was able to drive traffic and making money , you will get money if you work hard and there is no one in this world who will give u $$$$ without doing anything .
