More with writer Nye Manns

• When did you first realize that writing helped you cope with the parts of life you couldn’t

control?

Response: when I was younger ,no one understood the things going on with me so I

escaped in my writings and build worlds that I could control every detail of .

• Can you describe a time when writing helped you through a difficult moment?

Response: it helps me everyday ,I don’t express my emotions in a right way so I’m

always being misunderstood but writing helps me put my thoughts somewhere other

than my brain,I use writing to cope from the surroundings I’m in ,I write when I’m

angry,hopeless,sad and happy but it truly helped me when I started writing letters to

GOD for understanding and hope.

• What kinds of stories do you find yourself returning to again and again?

Response: as a writer aspect I love writing all types of stories mostly the magical worlds I

create but it’s hard to choose just one but as a readers aspect I love stories of fantasy

and adventure where every chapter makes you invested like my favorite graphic novel

the wicked and the divine,I hope to be able to write the same way one day .

• How do you manage ADHD when it tries to pull you away from a writing project?

response : I have to either be completely alone to stay focused or play music on my

headphones to keep my mind occupied as I write ,to many distractions causes me to

abandon what I’m doing and to go do something else.

• What’s your favorite environment to write in—and how does it support your process?

Response : if my environment is positive it’s makes it easier for me to think and clear my

mind from negativity that has nothing to do with writing so I guess my favorite

environment is anywhere positive,quiet and safe.

• If your mind feels chaotic, how do you begin to write through that chaos?

Response: by writing the chaos down so it’s no longer just sitting in my mind,I put the

chaos somewhere I can see it physically and try to understand why I felt so chaotic ,I

think so much that if my brain gets quiet then I feel a emptiness,I love my chaos same as

my peace because without both then i would not be me.

• Do your characters reflect parts of yourself, or are they more like who you wish you could be?

Response: they’re a mixture of both ,I give many of my characters parts of me and give

them their own life that’s better than mine or worse than mine but I never make them fully

me ,I enjoy creating the personalities of my characters sometimes I even use the ones

around me as examples,I feel so many different things so I take them and spread them to

my world and characters to make something new .

• Have you ever surprised yourself with something you wrote? What was it?

Response: yes all the time , when I get inspired I can write about so much but my favorite

thing I wrote was the foundations of a book series I hope to bring to life ,I wrote a entire

language just for the story and made it about a dire wolf ,I wrote it when I was younger

and it’s still one of the writings I wish to complete .

• How do you stay motivated to return to writing after getting distracted or discouraged?

Response: by writing anything that comes to my mind everyday no matter what it is and I

like taking time to write chapters for my forgotten stories but writing Wattpad stories

helped me get back into the groove of writing .

• If someone told you your writing helped them feel less alone, how would that make you feel?

Response : I would feel a sense of joy because my writing is the stories of my soul and

all I ever wanted to do is share my soul with anyone who wish to read and listen to it and

I would also feel less alone ,I want my writings to inspire and bring joy to others , I want

to be a writer that writes in a way you can feel every word being read.
