This is my interview with, she's an amazing author. You should all cheek out her books especially Pandemonium. In the External Link is the link to her book, Pandemonium.
Here is her interview.
1- Tips in writing? Never give up. Writing is something that you have to have a passion for. If you have that passion, you will force yourself to write, which is a big help. Remember, just write your heart out the first time around. You'll always have time to come back and edit later.
2-How did you become so good? Aha, well, I wouldn't say I'm that great yet, but it requires two things: practice, and passion. I've been wiritng for a long time now, which developed my skill, and I have a passion for wiritng, which is a big help. Also, try and find the genre you like. I adore historical fiction and fantasy, which is why I write it most often.
3-What not to be in a story? Hm, that would depend on the book. My advice here would be to read out what you have written out loud, and take out anything that sounds off. Also, ask others for advice. Its always good to have a second opinion.
4-How long have you been writing? I've been writing for almost 8 years. Yep, about seven years. I began wiritng when I was 8, so it'll be 8 years as soon as I turn 16 ^-^
5-How long does it normally take you to write a story? That would depend on the story, the chapter, and whether or not I have inspiration. I'm almost done writing my first full-fledged novel, and it took me almost 6 months, including breaks and all. I like wiritng chapters in one go, so it usually takes me around 4-6 hours, depending on inspiration. I usually have around 6,000 words per chapter, which is why it takes so long.
6- The inspection for your story came from? I suppose this is inspiration, haha c; Well, I was inspired to write The Daemon Legacies after I read The Infernal Devices, and for Charlie's Vineyard was Little House and Anne of Green Gables. The rest were just random things ^-^
7- How to be descriptive? That's a bit hard to explain. Hm, you basically want to give people a scene to imagine in their head. Say, they suddenly wake up in a strange room. Okay, how much would you need to know to imagine it? You would need the furniture, the size, and the way things are set in the room. Create a visual image. Don't go overboard, though! Describe things, but don't go over the top, and don't describe unnecessary things. This is most important in Fantasy/Paranormal/Adventure/Action, I think. The view can create a big difference in the plot.
8-How big do you think your vocabulary is? Mine? Huge. I like using big words to annoy people. I try and keep it moderate in my books, so people can understand, but I'm one of those people who like reading through dictionaries and thesauruses just for fun, haha c;
9-Why do you write? I write because I love to. ^-^ It's a great way to pass time, and I can pour our all my emotion and my imagination into it. I'm creating my own world, basically. c;
10- And most important, what would you say to those new writers out there? Keep practicing! That's what I always say, practice and more practice. I know it sounds boring and a long process, but in the long run, that's what you need. Another thing is to never give up. Never let others put you down, always push forward. I promise you that you won't regret it!
