Tell readers a little about yourself.
I'm something of a frustrated poet. I free my fears, doubts, and sorrows in a story—born of humble origins, rebellious by nature, someone who takes everything to the limit. I hate with the same force that I love and cry with the intensity that I laugh.
Where do you write, and what does that space look like?
I don't have a specific place. I usually write wherever I have enough peace and quiet.
Why did you choose your pen name?
I really love the Demon Slayer series and anime in general.
What are you working on right now?
The book is titled Diary of a Dream Thief, a fantasy story with a touch of mystery and terror. The dream thief is a sinister being that lurks in the darkness searching for people whose lives are miserable. He offers them money, fame, power—everything they've always desired—and charges them with fragments of the future. Then he shows them how happy they would have been and how valuable what they lost was, causing them severe depression that ends in suicide.
How do you build your story's world?
The world of my stories in general is nothing more than my own world. Each scene tells something, each landscape has its meaning. Sometimes they're things I've lived, other times they're not but I wish I had. Every writer bases themselves on what they hear, see, and feel to write. Imagination and mastery of literary resources do the rest.
Do you plan everything in advance, or discover the story as you go?
I discover the story. Sometimes I have an idea as a starting point and end up writing the complete opposite. My head has a great facility and capacity to generate entire chapters in record time, but they never match the original idea.
How does releasing a story chapter by chapter change how you write it?
The pressure is greater. It's the feeling of living one day at a time, one scene after another, knowing you can't slow down because there are readers waiting for the next plot, the next obstacle for the protagonist. That adrenaline is priceless.
