Now then, let's get forward with the FAQ...
Q: Where do you get ideas for writing novels?
A: Frankly speaking, I seldom read novels but always read manga,
newspaper and magazines as well as watching movies. Therefore, the main sources
the the ideas are mostly from manga and anime.
Q: When do you start writing novels?
A: Actually I should have started writing novels right after winning the
consolation prize for the Open Writing Category of Malaysian New Comics Talents
Competition 2002 (Peraduan Bakat Baru Komik Malaysia 2002) [refer to
http://www.gempakstarz.com for details]
but it was not until recently when I decided to write seriously due to how busy
I was when I became a student.
Q: When is your reason of writing novels?
A: I have so many reasons to write a novel as follows:-
-
Talent
- Talent is gifted by God and should be
unleashed to maintain it. Therefore, winning the prize is just a step closer
to sharpen my talents but in order to strengthen it, I need to write a lot.
-
Promise
- During the prize-giving ceremony, I've promised
to a friend who also won the consolation prize in the same category to make my
own novel, and now is the time to make it as reality.
-
Application
- The knowledge that we've learnt in school,
in university or anywhere else won't last long if we haven't applied them in our
daily lives. By writing novels, I can apply what I've learnt before, and share
them with the readers.
-
International
- I always want to bring my novels and
journals to the international level, but in order to do so I have to start from
the very bottom base before advancing to the further level.
-
Love
- Love is a wonderful feeling that may give
happiness to humans. By falling in love, people may learn to appreciate their
loved ones as well as value their lives. For me, my beloved person is the one
who always give me maximum support, so I have to give her everything that I have
in store and succeed in return.
Q: Can you publish your novels in Malay?
A: Depends on the readers' requests, but if there's any publisher who is
interested to publish my novels, most probably the novels will be in Malay for
Malaysian market. Hey, the government encourages Malaysians to learn English, so
reading more English materials may strengthen your English level, okay?
Q: Can I have all the chapters of your novels?
A: Yes. All you need to do is to check out this site frequently and watch
out for episode updates to make sure that you won't miss a single chapter since
I will publish only one chapter per novel.
Q: Can I save the novel chapters from this site?
A: Yes, but for viewing and evaluation purposes only. Make comments via
shoutbox or the main page so that I can improve my novels or make corrections
for mistakes.
Q: Can I make comments on your novel?
A: Of course you can! Your comments are greatly appreciated. If there are
any mistakes in the novels, please tell me so that I can correct them. If you
feel that the novel contents seem to be boring, please tell me so that I can
learn how I failed and improve them. Make your comments via the shoutbox or the
comment links at the main page. よろしくお願いします!
Q: Can I sell the novels from this site?
A: No. You are not allowed to sell any chapters from this site for cash
since this action violates the copyright acts in Malaysia or any countries in
the world. You can only buy or sell the original novels which will be published
once the entire chapters are completed.
