Interview with Arthesia Cornelia
Published 2017-11-21.
What is your gender?
I'm actually a female, who really wants to be a boy/man but life is really unfair.
When did you first start writing?
When I'm the age of 9, that time I want to explore my skills and tried everything, but writing a story made me think that in this field I can do more and create more stories not only for myself but for everyone as well.
What type of genre/s do you write?
To tell you honestly my main genre is BL or boy's love, but my sub genre that I really like are: fantasy, action, supernatural, romance, and historical.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
My greatest joy is that someone is enjoying reading and appreciating my stories that I put more efforts and time just to make it more worth it to read
How come you like to write stories about same genders?
My motivation to write about them is how our society treat them, well I'm not saying that our society treat them so very badly, what I want to say is some people in our society are so close-minded saying hurtful words to them, not minding that they have emotion as well like a normal person, treating them like an abnormal or abomination. I just want to open their mind through writing a stories that can possible to change their views about them.
We not forget all of us are equal in the eyes of our Creator whether we straight or not.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
Before I go to sleep, I always reminding myself to wake late, so I can piss my mom. Hahahaha well that definitely true.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
When I get myself an author's block I usually do is watching anime series to relax my mind or listening to some classic song (what I mean classic song, purely instruments only)
How do you discover the ebooks you read?
Through searching in Google, sometimes my friends recommend me.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Yes, of course. I do remember I entitled "How many times can I fall in one single person" and of course that is BL but I don't have any intention to post it, caused my sister already keep it in her collection.
What is your writing process?
My process is:
First, when some interesting plotline are occupying my mind immediately write it to my notebook, then making the characters of the story that fits the plot. Second, before I start the story, I make a plotline in each chapter, so I can prevent myself losing the main story.
How do you approach cover design?
In my cover design usually I'm the one who make it, if I have some of materials, but this days I became lazy, because making stories occupying my mind, so I tend to call a help to someone I know who can do it.
