Interview 63: _wallflowers

1.Can you tell me a bit about yourself?

Erm, first of all hi? My middle name is Bobby, first name is Evelin, but everyone's called me Evie for as long as I can remember. I'm a bit of a wallflower, hence my username, and I prefer the night to the day. It's when the scary things (me) come out xD

2. What inspired you to write? 

Nothing in particular. My friend joined this writing website and I joined too. I've been writing since.

3. Do you have a specific writing style?

Um, I think so? Or maybe I don't, uh not sure

4. How did you come up with the titles of your stories?

It doesn't come to me until I've written out at least the blurb and maybe even the first chapter. One of my books I named after a Dorito flavour (Inferno) lol

5. Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?

I'm not sure yet. Maybe when I've finally managed to finish a story but right now, not really

6.  How much of the book is realistic?

Next to nothing is real, but some of it could be realistic? My stories are purely fictional though so...

7. Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?

Some real life events I include in the book, but usually no. I like being able to make things up, things that wouldn't normally happen in real life

8. What is the weirdest thing that has ever been said or done to you by a fan?

I quote directly: "wanna bang bang bang"

9. What job did you want to be as a kid?

There was a list. Umm a teacher, spy, vet, fashion designer, interior decorator, and famous

10. What is your main goal with writing books?

There isn't really any goal. I do it to pass the time, to develop/improve my non-existent writing skills. It's fun I guess. I love talking and writing is like my talking online

11. Do you ever experience writer’s block?

YES. SO MUCH

12.Do you work with an outline, or just write?

 I just write. Even when I give myself an outline I end up ditching it sooner or later and write what my silly little brain desires

13. Imagine your main character dies on page one.  Everything else remains the same.  Describe the new plot to your book.

Life as we know it would come to an end. Lol no. It depends on which book. They would all have totally different scenarios

14. What do you do when you are not writing?

Music. Or Teen Wolf. Obviously not homework

15. Do you see writing as a career or a hobby?

A hobby. I can't imagine myself as a legitimate writer/author because I'm not serious enough about writing. Also, I can never finish my books. Either it's too hard, or I get bored of writing that book

16. Will you have a new story coming out soon? If so can you tell us about it?

I'm completely rewriting some of my stories (Inferno, TDOTSG), I might possibly be coming out with a new book, and I wrote a short story for Christmas (first one I've ever finished!!) that I forgot to publish. And it's practically Valentine's Day so...

17. What was the hardest part of writing your book?

Um, I dunno. Maybe romance scenes. I'm not a romantic type person. Or gory, bloody, violent scenes. I'm not really a gory, bloody type person. I can be a bit violet though (teehee)

18. Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?

Again, depends on which book. Sometimes I learn something about myself. All those pent up emotions

19. Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

Uhh, thanks for reading? Lol I appreciate the time you take to vote, comment, etc. And for even bothering to click on my book, obviously

20. Do you have any advice for other writers?

Write for yourself. Your story, you choose how you want to tell it. And there's always room for improvement. Like a gajillion miles room of improvement in my case
