Questions and Answers

1. What is your inspiration in writing “Chasing Mr. Prefect”?
   
   I was reading a story written by a friend back then that featured a main character / love interest that were complete opposites. It made me want to play around with this trope and then I decided to use it for my #SparkNA pitch.


2. How is your writing process like? Do you have any quirks in your writing process?
   
   Process - I don’t usually use outlines. Most of the time I just write what I want and work from there, but I learned how much easier it is to write with an outline thanks to the #SparkNA class haha! As for quirks… sometimes when I’m out of ideas I turn to liquor. I also try to go out when I’m stuck since I tend to get a lot of scene ideas while in transit.


3. If you will be given a minute of face to face encounter with any of your book characters, who would you want it to be with and what would you say to him or her?
   
   I would want to have a minute with Vinnie’s stepsister, Liana, so I could learn how to make the perfect Sansrival.
   

   


4. Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not?
   
   I believe in lust at first sight (lol) but love, not really. Maybe you get really infatuated, but love, that’s a long stretch. 


5. Give us your best banat or pick-up line.
   
   Are you my manuscript? Because I’m not doing you when I probably should. (Engk! That’s my last na!) >.<
   
   
6. Finally, use “spark” in a sentence.
   
   Every great revolution begins with a spark :)

For the first time in her life, Vinnie finds herself on the brink of academic suspension.

While standing up to a bully is something she'll never regret, she has to take on additional responsibilities in lieu of punishment for the offense. This unfortunately involves working with Cholo, the head disciplinary prefect, who seems to take delight in other people's blunders.
