You guys should listen to hmm... Blame it by Jamie foxx :D

Thankyou Courtney! :)

~~~~~~

What is your name?

On Wattpad, I go by kaboodless, but in human-form, I am referred to as Courtney.

How old are you?

When I first got on Wattpad, I was fifteen, but now I'm sixteen. I can't drive until Thanksgiving, though. D:

What inspired you to write your first book?

Oh gosh, that's a hard one. I suppose it would have to be Biology class, where I had enough time to brew up ideas and Roommates with a Player just so happened to pop out from it.

Who is your favorite author and what is it that really strikes you about their work?

Geez, another hard question. It's a tie between Roald Dahl and Jennifer McMahon. Roald Dahl wrote the books of my childhood and the imagination he put into his work changed my young mind. Jennifer McMahon, a less-known author, has this uncanny ability to draw in her readers and never let go, even when the book's finished. I hope to have both of these qualities.

What is your favourite theme/genre to write about?

Teen Fiction/Young Adult, seeing as that's what I am. But maybe as I get older, that genre might change. I love mystery and crime, but romance is a given. ;D

Do you see writing as a career?

Very much so, yes. Maybe for journalism, maybe for novels.

If you could work with any author who would it be?

John Green, because he's the coolest cat out there.

Do you use real-life facts based on true stories?

This question confuses me. ;u; I guess I do. ;D

Did you ever think you'd be, where you are right now?

NO WAY. When I submitted the first chapter for my first book, I didn't know what I expected, but it definitely wasn't a million reads! It's been amazing. :)

What advice would you give to people who "run out of creativity" when writing?

Creativity is literally all around you. You just have to be able to see it and use it. Like I said, I got the idea for my first book in Biology class. It shouldn't be that hard if you put your mind to it...just don't think too hard!

DID u vote? if u didn't ----->>> :)

Do you ever suffer from writer’s block? If so, what do you do about it?

Ah, writer's block; the kryptonite to our species! When I was midway through writing for my first book, I suffered greatly from it. Luckily, I pushed through. But! That was only after I discovered my secret weapon. Let me let you in on a little secret of mine: WRITE IT OUT BEFORE IT HAPPENS! What I do is, I have my own "writer's journal" and I'll summarize each upcoming chapter so I won't get stuck when it's time to actually write it out. I take it everywhere I go, so when I get a good idea, I'm ready to write it down! :D

Do you have any advice for other writers?

DON'T. STOP. TRYING. You don't actually think I was automatically given a million reads when I clicked the Sign Up button, do you? NO. I wasn't. I worked for it, and you can, too.

Anything fun about yourself you want your fans to know?

Hm...I love putting the number four into my work and Donald Glover is a HUGE idol of mine. :3

How would you describe yourself?

A professional Lucy Pevensie lookalike.
