1)When did you first start writing?

I started writing years ago, just child stories. But I got into my first real story about 5 years ago, gave up, and then tried again when I joined Wattpad 2 years ago, so around then. 

2)What inspires you to write?

I tend to get bursts of imagination after watching films and listening to music. And also from reading other books. I love the way a book can make me feel, and I’d love to be able to do the same for other people. 

3)Do you often get writers block?

All the time. And also I get an amazing idea which will pop into my head when I’m say, working, and then when I sit down to write, It’s all been forgotten.

4)Does negative feedback on your stories affect you?

Not really. Obviously if someone comments that something is majorly wrong then I’ll look into it. but I don’t think I’ve ever had the kind of real hate mail. I don’t have enough fans for that!

5)Has your writing developed since you joined Wattpad?

Definitely. But I don’t think it’s because I joined Wattpad, I think it’s because I’ve gotten older and that’s really helped me to write. I’m more mature now.

6)On average how much time do you spend writing?

I’ll spend about an hour a chapter. And I just sit down and write in one go, sometimes if the chapter is shorter, I’ll only spend about half an hour. If its long or I have writers block, it can last all night. 

7)What genre is your favourite? And which one do you tend to write in most?

Definitely romance. I think every book needs a romance aspect to work. Although I do love Stephen King’s horror/sci fi books. I also love thrillers and anything that gets me thinking. You know what... I love everything.  

8)Do you share your work with friends and family members?

Nope. Wattpaders are the only ones lucky enough! Haha. None of my family or friends even know I write.  

9)Are you planning on getting your work published?

Being completely honest, It’s not my life goal, and I won’t go out of my way to do it. If it happened then yeah I’d be thrilled, but I’m not holding my breath.

10)Do you write on any other sites? Which one do you prefer?

No. That would be too much work!  

11)Who is your favourite author? And wattpad writer?

Favourite published author is a hard one. I’m a romance girl at heart so I’d have to say my absolute favourite author is L.J Smith, as I’m yet to find a book of hers I don’t love.

As for Wattpad authors... probably Kirsty1000 or hmmcghee.

12)Which of your stories are you most proud of?

Cassé.  It was my most out there story line and I spent a long while thinking it through. I think my Theo Clayton story has gone down the best, but that story is really a load of crap Haha, there are so many lose ends that I just couldn’t even be bothered to tie up.

13)What story are you/did you enjoy writing the most?

The Taking of Destiny Connors. I love it, its my favourite. Although I love writing it the most, I’m not that proud of it because sometimes I don’t feel as if I’m doing the characters or story justice. I need to work harder on it.

14)If wattpad disappeared what would you do?

Die.

It actually rules my life.

15)Have your fans ever inspired you enough to want to write?

Yes. There are a few of my fans who are so loyal and constantly comment and they are the ones I really write for, they make an effort.

16)And lastly any tips that you can share with other wattpaders?

Don’t ever do it if it feels like work. I know I don’t! (That’s probably why I take so long to upload! Haha)
