Interview 120: _beautifullyawkward_

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

2. When did you first realize you wanted to be an author?

When I noticed that I'm much more interested in my own writing than reading anyone else's

3. How’d you find wattpad?

A lot of my friends use it to read

4. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

 Happy or dead

5. Do you plan on publishing one of your stories? 

Self publishing or receiving a book deal would be great, but right now both of those options are things I'm not trying to pursue right now

6. If you could have been the original author of any book, what would it have been and why?

 I wouldn't want be any author but myself but if I had to choose either Stephenie Meyer, James Patterson, Stephen King, E.L James or anyone else substantially famous

7. What is the weirdest thing that has ever been said or done to you by a fan? 

Nothing.

8. What are your hobbies?

Reading, Writing, Singing, Debating, Eating, Sleeping and googling dumb movie and celebrity facts

9. What does your family think of your writing?

My mother thinks I'm a good writer and my best friend thinks I'm incredible

10.  How do you think you've evolved creatively?

 I don't think I've evolved at all since joining Wattpad or even since I wrote my first poem. I've read books that I've loved and discovered authors that I appreciate, but I feel that growth only comes with new found knowledge and life changing experiences. My life has been the same for a long time and I haven't gone to school yet for writing, so I feel like my writing right now is the same it's been for a good 3-4 years

11. What is your favorite quote?

"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything" and "No one cares unless you're pretty or dying"

12. Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?

What kinds of things do they say? My readers don't talk to me much but when they do they're usually saying they like my writing

13. What do you think makes a good story?

A unique plot, excellent writing, and a bleeding heart

14.  Imagine your main character dies on page one.  Everything else remains the same.  Describe the new plot to your book.

Well if my main character was to die in only book I've finished, that would royally fuck things up. My first book was about a girl hating her town and running away to New York. If she died, the book would  follow her family and friends and how they react to her death. Damn that's pretty good...maybe I'll rewrite the book

15. As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?

 I wanted to be a news reporter. That was just the absolutely coolest job to me and I don't even know why

16. Which famous person, living or dead would you like to meet and why?

E.L James. Mainly to figure out what a 51 year old woman is doing writing Twilight fan fiction

17. What's the easiest part about writing? 

Coming up with a title and plot.

18.Did you learn anything from writing? If so, what was it?

 I think I learn a little about myself when I write. Everything that I write about doesn't exactly fall into my lap.Whatever I chose to write about connects with me somehow and after I finish writing I can go back and see what I consider a "good plot" or "great ending".

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

Thanks for reading and sorry for the grammatical errors

20. Do you have any advice for other writers?

Write about what interests you and hopefully it'll interest others. Unless of course you write One Direction fan fiction
