Information
I’ll answer a few questions just as I would if you were right next to me—casually, during a walk or over a cup of tea or coffee.
Frequently asked questions
It all began with a simple idea, fueled by my passion for creation — through music, painting, and my curiosity about why every culture has its own customs and traditions. Who are you, the one reading this now? What is this thing we call a “universe”? And just like that, everything became imagination.
Why did you start writing?
I started writing as a way to escape a very difficult phase in my life. But it turned into something entirely different — from a simple 20,000-word book, it grew into an entire universe.
Do you have any formal knowledge about writing?
I may not have formal training, but I write from instinct, emotion, and observation—and that’s what makes it real.
Have you included personal experiences in your book?
Absolutely. Not just my own, but also many stories from people whose voices, in my opinion, deserve to be heard and reflected upon. The work also explores philosophical themes and dilemmas that invite deep thought.
Why don’t publishing houses release it?
Honestly, I’m not sure what to say… Even though I’ve received strong reviews and positive feedback, they keep pushing me toward self-publishing. But if I have to pay them to publish it, I’d rather share it for free on a few platforms and earn through ads — if those platforms allow it. And if people want to support it, that would truly be wonderful.
Do negative comments bother you?
Yes, if they’re expressed in a harsh or disrespectful way. But practically speaking, no — because if someone is telling the truth, I’ll take the time to look into it and see if they’re right and if something needs to be corrected. It’s very important to learn from our mistakes. And of course, when someone takes the time to point something out with respect, they deserve twice as much respect in return.
Do you write every day and just share a little at a time with your audience?
Yes and no. The first book of Aeterna Civilight, titled The First Light, is complete — at least in my opinion. Still, new ideas come to me every day, and I jot them down for future chapters: epic battles, humorous moments, awkward romantic scenes, and much more.
Do you work strictly to make your project exactly how you want it — or to make it “perfect”?
Perfect? What does “perfect” even mean? Of course not. I work how I want, where I want, and on my own terms. Trying to make something perfect doesn’t matter if the reader lacks imagination — no matter how hard you try to convey the feeling, they’ll never receive it. Just like with Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter — the magic, the effort, the books are all there. But how you read something is what truly makes the difference.
