ShonaLeopardess:

HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT WATTPAD?

I found out about Wattpad in 2013, I was searching for a website where I could publish stories for free, and also read stories for free. I looked at Wattpad, and I thought it sounded good, so on July 30th, 2013, I joined Wattpad.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT WATTPAD?

I like that there are really good books out here on Wattpad, and I like hunting the sections (such as Undiscovered Gems, or Teen Fiction) for some really good stories that aren't 1D fanfiction. I mean, seriously. I don't want to read fanfiction that's in Teen Fiction category.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE STORY GENRES?

Comedy, fantasy, sometimes Mystery, Romance, sometimes Thriller, and realistic.

ARE YOU WRITING A BOOK? WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Currently, I have so many ideas swarming my head that I can't seem to write down. But I am working on a werewolf story, I'm not very far into it, I'm halfway through developing all the characters.

IF SO, THEN WHAT GAVE YOU THE INSPIRATION TO START WRITING IT?

My inspiration? I have to say reading about some most popular ideas, and seeing werewolf. I had thought, 'that might be interesting to write about!'

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PUBLISHED BOOK OF ALL TIME?

Oh my gosh, that's tough! I have so many favorites! I'd have to say...Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson. Or Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.

I'M SURE EVERYONE HAS A BOOK THEY DON"T LIKE SO WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVOUITE BOOK?

I'd have to say Coraline by Neil Gaiman

ON A SCALE OF 1-10 HOW MUCH WOULD YOU RATE YOUR LOVE FOR BOOKS?

Total 10!!

DO YOU WANT TO BE A PUBLISHED WRITER ONE DAY?

Yes. I just have to improve my writing a ton before then.

DO YOU PREFER E-BOOKS OR PAPERBACKS? WHY?

E-books while traveling or if I'm in the mood because it's not that much space. Usually paperbacks because you can hold them in your hands and everything. I prefer paperbacks.
