Hey loves! Welcome to a new and much better blog. In today’s post, I’ll be sharing with you the answer to a few frequently asked questions, and spilling the beans on my weird but still pretty awesome writing process. Let’s dive right in!

FAQ: Where did you get the idea for Keep You Forever?

Answer: If you guys didn’t know, I published a completed Young Adult romance titled ‘Keep You Forever’ over on Wattpad a few months ago, and it now has over 2K+ reads online. You can read the synopsis and story here.

I get asked a lot about how the story originated, and how I built my characters up: basically my entire writing process.

The truth is, I get a lot of my story ideas through songs. This case isn’t any different.

When I listened to Polaroid for the first time, in my head, there was only one picture. Two people walking through a sleeping town at night, singing at the top of their lungs and capturing each other in photographs.

Yes, I built an entire story on that picture.

That story goes by the name of Keep You Forever.

Here are a few cliche but amazing elements I used in my story:

City VS Town
Bad boy, good girl
A mean girl turned good
Love Triangle
Super Rich Bad Boy Hero
Serenely beautiful town setting
A Happy Ending
Lots of drama and plot twists

FAQ: The Development of Asher Prince

A lot of people ask me if Asher is, in fact, based on a crush or someone in my life. The answer is, hell no.

I mean, if I had that guy, I know I wouldn’t be wasting my time writing hopelessly romantic stories.

(i would be busy somewhere else, if you know what I mean ;))

FAQ: Is Lissa like you?

Yes, bitch.

Lissa isn’t like me.

She IS me. Lissa is exactly me, and basing a character upon myself made me realise a lot about how I react in certain situations, which improved my overall understanding of myself.

Do we look alike, though?

Nope.

You can find pictures of me on my Instagram, which is @chhaviandbooks. See for yourself, people.

FAQ: Is there gonna be a sequel?

Short answer: no.

There is a reason the ending was open ended–I don’t think I left any loose strings to tie in a second book.

If you wanna read something cute but at the same time insanely hot, check out my other book Shall Be King!

FAQ: Is this the end?

I am working on a revised and expanded version, because my dream is to one day publish this book with a reputed publisher. I’m not someone who will wait for my book to reach millions of views to get it published. I believe in my writing, and I know for a fact that a published version is the right way to go about it.

Stay tuned for updates!

Thank you for reading this. Thank you for believing in these characters and in me, even when I didn’t. Thank you.

See you all soon with more,

Chhavi xx
