Okay, here's what I'm thinking. If you are interested, you can fill some interview questions and I will start making a book of Aussie Author interviews.This gives us a chance to get to know a bit more about each other,and our stories.

So if your Aussie and are interested, I will post the questions later, answer as many or as few as you like:)

Questions -

Name: Nikki Vivienne V.

Username: Just-Nikki

State: VIC

Current Work(s): Darling, Deceive Me

Favourite Character (own): Ingrid Kensington from Darling, Deceive Me

Favourite Character (others): Rosemarie Hathaway from the Vampire Academy Series

Where does your inspiration come from? From my imagination and reality.

Is there any meaning behind your username? Just-Nikki is my username, it's simple and easy. I did however get the idea from fellow Wattpad friend and talented writer, Just-Krissy.

Personal cure for writer’s block: Well I just began writing after a long year hiatus. So my cure is: be motivated, do what you can. I suggest writing a diary, it could be helpful for future scenes. Read more books, watch movies, observe things that go around in your life, listen to music while you write..stuff like that.

Tips on writing: It shouldn't be forced. Write when you feel like it and you should have a look at different writing styles to help improve your story. It's good to start off by using things from your life because I'm pretty sure, your family and friends all have unique personalities. Remember that you may receive constructive criticism for your writing but hey, don't see it as something negative, see it as a way to improve. It's your choice however, to take that criticism onboard or not. You can't make everyone happy. Just as long as you are satisfied and proud with your work then keep your head held up high and keep writing.

Story Pet Hates: I don't like a story when it doesn't have much description, is too cliche, too long and when there are too many grammar, punctuation and spelling mistakes. I cringe when I see someone spell "writing" as "righting" and "writting".

Clichés you avoid at all costs: Arranged marriages..some alpha mate wolf pack story...a deliquent falling in love with a nerd or something... (NOTE: I am just generalizing some of the cliche stories I've seen, some may actually be good but the titles don't impress me, just my opinion.)

Favourite authors/members/stories: Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead, The Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins, The Queen of Raviena by shade36t and Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling

Favourite Book (Excluding Wattpad): Shadow Kiss from Vampire Academy Series

Must Read Authors (Excluding Wattpad): Richelle Mead, Lauren Kate, J.K Rowling, Lili St. Crow and Suzanne Collins

Hobbies: Wattpading, Tumblring, photoshopping, eating gourmet food, sleeping in, making posters, swimming, bike-riding, reading, watching endless tv shows and writing.

Favourite Food: Hard one, maybe my mother's home-cooked meals. Yum.

Favourite Song: It changes regularly. At the moment it is..nup still can't decide.

Favourite Band: I've got heaps...hard to choose..maybe..uh..I'll get back to you..

Are you in a relationship? If so who and are they on Wattpad?: Haha that's a bit personal. I might be in one. *wink wink*

AFL team: Essendon. Yes, I hate you Collingwood.

Other random things about you: I laugh all the time. I can be loud and shy. My nickname is "Violent Girl" to many of the boys I know. I am obsessed over finding out who "A" is in Pretty Little Liars. I have a tumblr addiction. I'm awesome. I'm immature. I can be stupid at times e.g. "Is karma a god?" I lose arguments easily and....you must be extremely and utterly bored from reading this, so I'll stop. :)
