1. Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?

I'm 16 and I live in California. I am poetic and open minded about music. I am shy at first but when you get to know me you know I love to pull pranks and I don't care what people think about me.

2. What inspired you to write?

What inspired me to write was the small ideas I got in English class and also because teachers forced me to write stories for my semester finals.

3. Do you have a specific writing style?

I do not have a specific writing style.

4. How did you come up with the titles?

When I come up with a title for my stories I am usually with my weird friends and they also help me out. Other times they just get taken from a song.

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

I only want my readers to be themselves and not let anyone bring them down. Stay strong peeps!

6. How much of the book is realistic?

I really don't think my books are realistic. I mean some are fan fictions.  Only realistic thing about them would be everything teenagers go through with their first love.

I do add experiences from my life or things that happen to others I know.

I do see it as a career but I am much more interested in the medical field. I've been wanting to be a doctor since I was five.

13. Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?

When I write I do find it challenging when I have no inspiration what so ever. Also when I have writers block which always happens to me. Somehow I have always pulled through with my stories.

Easiest part of writing my book... Well the first one was easy because I had help and let my lovely readers help out in which direction the book went in.

 Hardest part of writing my book is making sure I don't leave a part out which tends to happen a whole lot.

I did learn one thing from writing my first book and that was to fight for what you believe in even if you stand alone.

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

I do have one thing to say to my readers and that is to not stop asking me questions just because others tell you not to no matter how funny or ridiculous the questions are I will answer because I hold no grudges.

20. Do you have any advice for other writers?

I have advice to other writers, well two. One ask your readers for ideas when you seem to have lost inspiration on a story. Two do not doubt yourself because then you mess up and you won't like it.
