1. What inspired you to write fanfics?

I wouldn’t exactly say something inspired me to write fan fictions, but when I started using Wattpad I was completely obsessed with Harry Potter, so I read some of those fan fictions. I ended up reading all of ‘I Think I’m in Love With a Malfoy’ by lollyyypop112, and I was like “I never thought that making up my own story about my favorite characters/celebs would be ...like normal.” I guess haha. But sooo many people read and write fan fictions, so that story really inspired me to write my own and up I came up with ‘In Love With Draco.’ After that one finished, I attempted at writing another Harry Potter fan fiction but it was just as bad as the first so I removed it. I stopped using Wattpad for awhile, and I never got on. In October though I discovered One Direction [by accident] on Youtube, and I really fell in love with them despite the fact they weren’t what I was looking for. So in January when I started using Wattpad again I started to write a ‘In That One Direction’ which I cheesily and cliche-like based off of Cinderella.

2. How'd you find wattpad?

Someone posted on facebook once about stuff they posted on wattpad, so I went there ‘cause I like to write,so I started using it. :D

3. What's your least favorite thing about writing? Writer’s block not included.

Least favorite thing...hmm.. my least favorite thing is that I can never write long chapters...like I try but I just can’t put in so much detail ‘cause I want to like...I dunno. Yeah. Haha.

4. What's your favorite thing about writing?

My favorite thing.... is probably that I can become anyone I want...or use it to vent.. like when I’m down or something. It’s so much fun to create a world that is perfect to you!

5. Which one of your characters is the most like you?

I would have to say probably Ella from ‘A Screwed Up Mess.’ I’m quite like Cady in the fact I had an [emotionally] abusive parent and it messed up life in so many aspects. But I’m not going to go there. I’m also like Cady in the fact that I’m absolutely in LOVE with Louis Tomlinson, as all the boys haha.

I would definitelyhave to say Ella though. Ella...is me. Ella is a character I created to base myself off of, and to use it as a venting tool. All the emotions you feel with Ella is something I am feeling or something I have felt at one time. All the songs in that fan fiction are something I have personally chosen to describe a time in my life. Ella and I are emotionally the same way, and personality wise (even though you haven’t gotten to see much of her personality.) People will look at me and probably say ‘You and Ella don’t have the same personality.’ Well, yes we do. It’s just Ella’s personality is masked by severe depression, like how I am sometimes.

6. Do you plan on writing a sequel for In Love With Draco and/or In That One Direction? If so what can you tell us about it?

No I don’t, haha, in my opinion both of those were terrible! Especially ‘In Love With Draco’, I got sick of writing it so I killed off the main character. ‘In That One Direction’ is just so cheesy and cliche...and I don’t like writing stories like that and I don’t want to anymore. A sequel, because knowing me, it would end up the same way! :D

7. What's your wattpad pet peeve?

My wattpad pet peeve...hmm..I guess I don’t really have one. I like it a lot. Wattpad is really user friendly, especially compared to sites I’ve tried like Figment and Teen Ink. Also, you can talk to people on here. Which makes it that much more fun! Haha. ^-^ But I’d guess it would have to be the colors...orange & black. It NEVER matches my background!! (Laughs.)

8. What's your favorite thing about wattpad?

My favorite thing about wattpad..I guess because it’s so user friendly and you can talk to people! Haha. :D I also like getting comments of people telling me they really enjoy something, same with when they fan me! :D So I like that Wattpad lets us do that.

9. Who's your favorite wattpad author?

I don’t really have a favorite author...but at this moment I really like the story ‘The Fallback Girl’ by 1DOnlyYou. I found it today and read all the chapters she had posted I liked it so much! :D I dunno really, I don’t have a favorite author on here because I do far more writing than reading. (:

10. What are some writing tips you can give the readers?

Some advice I can give people is write for you and only you! Don’t let people tell you when to update or what to do with your characters. Write what you want to write, when you want to write it. If you do that, people can tell that you’re passionate about what you’re writing, and it makes the story that much more enjoyable. I always forced myself to write in the beginning of my use with Wattpad, and no one really liked my stuff. When I started to do my own thing, I got loads more fans. :D I DO WHAT I WANT! (;
