Interview with TellTaleHeart author of Talk about the Direct Approach, Alphas and Angels, and The Temporary Brother.
1) How did you find out about Wattpad?
A friend of mine convinced me to read a story on here and I did, but became hooked when I read other stories as well.
2) Did you ever think you would start writing on Wattpad?
In the beginning, I thought about it but didn't do it because I hadn't really ever wrote a story before. Eventually, though, I gave it a shot and now here we are(:
3) What do you do outside of Wattpad? Hobbies?
I wish I had some super interesting life outside of wattpad, but it turns out the most interesting thing about me is that I'm a writer with a popular story on wattpad. Ugh, ok, I don't like calling my story popular but I don't know what else to put there so I'll just go with it. But yea, as far as hobbies go, I like doing outdoorsy stuff, like camping, fishing, hunting, all that good stuff.
4) What are your inspirations for writing? Favorite authors outside Wattpad?
I don't think I've ever said this before but now that I think of it, my mom is a pretty big inspiration for me writing. She used to love writing poems, and while I completely suck at poetry (I tried once for a school project. Rest assured, she ended up writing the other nine poems for me) I always liked the idea of creating a story. Also, music is a pretty big inspiration for me. And my favorite writer outside of wattpad is Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games.
5) Favorite authors on Wattpad?
makeandoffer, Coldlady_19, and WeAreAHurricane just to name a few :p
6) Do you get your character’s personality or life off your own? Which one is like you?
A lot of my characters are based off people in my life. And their lives as well. Well, mostly just Alexis' life (minus the whole werewolf mate and all that comes with that) comes from my own.
7) Do you want to make a career out of your writing?
I don't know, to be honest. It's sort of like a kid who wants to be president. They believe they really can do it, but odds are, it won't happen. I think it will be more of an on-the-side thing,that way it won't be too demanding. I think it would take the fun out of writing if I had no choice but to write all the time.
8) What is the most random or sweetest thing a fan ever said to you?
That's hard. I get messages all the time that are just so sweet! I'll be completely truthful here--no matter how bad this will sound--I love getting those messages, and I read them all, but most of the time I don't reply. I don't know what to say when someone tells me they love my story and I'm a great writer other thank 'thank you', but that's just too generic for me. I dunno, it just sounds like I'm saying "Oh, another one of these. Thanks." When really, I just want to put THANK YOU UGH YOU'RE THE SWEETEST THING ON THIS PLANET I LOVE YOU. I don't want to freak people out haha.
9) When did you start writing?
I started writing in 1st grade, but I didn't start 'officially' writing until about 2 years ago. Most of the things I wrote were short stories. There was this one, however, I started writing in 5th grade that I had set in the colonial America period. I found it the other day, and I was actually mildly impressed with it. Even though it was only a page and a half long.
10) What would you like to say to your fans?
I'll just say what I said above since I already made myself look weird. THANK YOU UGH YOU'RE THE SWEETEST THINGS ON THIS PLANET I LOVE YOU ALL. NEVER STOP BEING AWESOME AND NEVER STOP BEING YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL PERFECT OK. YOU GO GIRLS/GUYS. Seriously, I do appreciate you guys so very much, so thank you.
