Fantasy Authors Interview

Meet Spencer Sinclair

What is/are your favorite trope/s to use and see in the media? Why?

Girl falls first but boy falls harder is my favorite trope in the world when it comes to romance. I don't know why it's such a sweet concept to me but it is. I also love the adventure trope of a ragtag gang getting together and becoming found family by the end of it.

Share some interesting worldbuilding facts from your works.

Four cultures that play a big part in my life are American, Scottish, Korean, and Liberian culture so I try to include those elements in my worlds every single time. I love languages so I end up always including a second language in my work or a character that can speak multiple languages.

How do you come up with the names of your characters?

Sometimes it's just a name I thought up. Other times I go to baby naming websites if there is a specific meaning that I have in mind. But even then, I usually know the first letter and how many syllables I want the characters name to be.

Are you a planner or a pantser?

Both. I "plan" by visualizing the story as a movie before I start writing. Sometimes I write that down in a very loose outline. Then I just pants it from there.

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Introvert. I used to be an extrovert in middle and high school. But I find myself leaning more introvert nowadays.

Favorite food?

Noodles in broth and Korean Fried Chicken.

Favorite color?

Pink. Yellow is a very close second.

What is your most used app?

YouTube. Even when I'm writing, I'm playing videos.

Name a country or city you would like to visit.

I went to The Netherlands and Belgium with my mother. But the trip was only four days so I'd like to go again. I'd also love to visit Iceland again.

How do you relax after a long day?

Watching Kpop music shows or ASMR cooking channels. I also knit.

Who is your role model?

Viola Davis and Michelle Obama. I love how they work and how far they've both gotten in their respective careers.

How has the reader community on Wattpad influenced you in writing your stories?

I don't really get influenced by readers when I write.

What are your future plans in writing, whether they be on Wattpad or outside it?

I have lots of writing projects that I want to publish to the world. I just finished the first book in a six book historical fantasy series so I'm not slowing down any time soon.

What are your hopes and wishes regarding your journey as a fantasy writer?

Biggest Author in the World. That's the wish.

What would you like to tell up-and-coming writers out there?

Keep going. It can get hard when you don't have the numbers or the support that you see so many other writers get but it doesn't count you out. Keep going.
