An Imaginary Interview with Bob Ong

Kaye: A pleasant morning Mr. Bob Ong! Thank you for the time you allotted for this interview.

Bob Ong: It's my pleasure.

K: May we proceed to the questions Sir?

B: Of course.

K: For my first question, as we all know you have written so many great books, do you have any favorite among the books you've written?

B: Well, I like them all and I consider all of them as my favorite.

K: Did your books all come from your imagination or they are from your own experience?

B: My books are based from my experience combined with my imagination. I get the concept from my experience then apply my imagination to make twists and turns.

K: Is that what makes your books so unique, popular and one of the best sellers?

B: Maybe yes, maybe no. I do believe that it depends on the readers who make their reaction on my written works.

K: Why do you want your identity a secret?

B: I want writing books to inspire and not writing books to be popular. I don’t need to let the whole world know me and be popular to write and inspire the readers.

K: These inspiring books are also from inspiration, am I right Sir?

B: Yes, as what I've said, they are based from my experience. The people around me, my family and my friends inspired me to write these books.

K: Sir, you said that inspiring people is what you want to do, do you have any other purpose in writing these books?

B: Yes, I want to let people know what this life is all about. That is the reason, I make sure that my books are true to life, though some have fictional settings or happenings at times.

K: For my last question, if you will be given another life, will you choose to be a writer again in this situation writing the same books?

B: Writing is my passion and I love this field. I will surely be a writer again if I would be given another life.

K: Thank you Mr. Bob Ong for this interview and it was a pleasure meeting you.

B: Your welcome and it was a pleasure meeting you too.
