When and why did you start writing?
I started writing about the age of 11 – 12. I had been reading a lot during those days, and inspiration struck me. I just went, 'Hey, I can do it too!' and just went to write. The story was super childish and didn't make sense, but it did help paved my road to churning out the stories I'm writing today. :)
Is there a specific genre that you like to read/write?
Humour, teen fiction.
What or who inspires you in your work?
Books, essentially.
Can you tell us a bit about your current story and why people would want to read it?
It's about an overweight girl whose trying to lose weight, but can't. She gets sends to fat camp and there, she manages to lose some weight. Of course, when she goes back home she decides to get back on her former tormentor, but the main thing about this story, is that it is not cliché. So whether or not she really gets her revenge all depends on me (*evil laugh*).
Well I hope people would want to read this...because it’s not cliché? If I’m in a particularly good mood that day I was writing the chapter, you'll laugh your intestines out. ;)
Is there a message for your readers in your work?
This story is about loving and accepting yourself. Sometimes, things just aren't within your grasp, and no matter what you do, you won't get it. Sometimes it is just meant to be like that, and this story, (I hope) will portray this.
Do you have any advice for other writers?
I didn't start off with the 14,000 reads I have now. It takes a lot of promoting, darn cursing when people don't do their deals, and perseverance in churning out chapters on friday nights when you're just super shag from a whole day in school. I started off with 79 reads, 2 fans, and it blossomed into what it is today. Don't lose hope when you don't get what you're expecting. It takes time.
Is there anything else you would like add?
I loathe Physics and Math.
