So one of my favourite authors, Jessica has agreed to do an interview. What do you all think? =)
1. What do you most want people to take away from your story?
I think the most important message that I want people to take from my story is that you shouldn't take people for granted. Even if you're sure they love you to the moon and back, they might not be around forever, so it's important that people treat the people they care about with much much love and never miss a chance to tell them you love them (:
2. Why do you choose to write the story you did?
It just occurred me! I had this urge feeling that i should try and write something like that, and I was inspired (:
3. Do you relate to any of your characters in "From Sam to Lexi?"
Definitely. Most of Sam's thoughts came from deep within me and my feelings are all over the pages!
4. Is this based off of anything personal that has happened to you or someone you know?
Not entirely, but I can relate a lot to Sam. There's someone I miss really deeply...
5. What is something you do when you get writers block?
Uhm that doesn't happen to me very often.. it used to though! I used to write narrative stories, but I had this problem, when I got bored of writing. I didn't have a solid plan of what I wanted to write so every time I started a new story, around the fifth chapter I'd give up. Writing in letter format really helped me in that way, since I had the plot in my head all along from the beginning! (:
6. What is one of your most favourite things to do while writing? (Listening to music, watching movies etc)
Actually no. I often use videos or movies or even music to get inspired to write, but when I'm writing I just want to be focused and that requires quietness (:
7. What kind of movies do you enjoy watching? Do you think it influences you to write certain genres? (If you like horror movies, you'll write horror stories etc)
Uhm, I think the type of music/movies we listen to/watch really affects us in the way we think, but me, personally, I LOVE horror/suspense movies but suck at writing horror stories ahah, but I don't know, if I get a really good plot idea for something like that maybe I'll be able to develop it ;)
8. What are some authors that inspire you (wattpad or published)
Uhm, that is hard. I'm not much of a reader on Wattpad because most of the stories are cliché and there are a lot of issues that annoy me a bit.. but there are really great stories in here! Published authors that I absolutely ADORE are Dan Brown and Stephen King, definitely!
9. What is something you enjoy doing besides writing?
Reading! TONS of books! When I don't have a book to read in my backpack i feel so empty ahah. I also love watching old movies, but recently I've lacked the time to do so :(
10. Any tips for wannabe writers?
Try to find your writing style before hand. Find what makes you more comfortable writing. Is it narrative or poetry? Or even in letter format? Just don't make the same mistake I did of trying to write in a format that I wasn't comfortable with. It makes you give up of great ideas!
11. What is something you always have to eat or else you would go crazy without it for a month?
Uhm... probably chocolate ahah. I often have this urge to eat something sweet as a snack between meals.. oopsie!
12. Any sports you enjoy to play?
Like moving and stuff? Ahah I don't know, I like volleyball but I'm not really good at it S:
13. Favourite tv show/movie and why
THE SHINING. BEST. MOVIE. EVER.
14. Your favourite store in a mall and why
Torn between clothing shops and the library, for obvious reasons ahah. I wish I was rich and could have cool clothes and tons of books!
15. Something you wish you could do, but don't have the courage to.
I wish I had the courage to talk to my ex boyfriend...
16. Something you want to tell your fans?
YOU ARE AMAZING. Really, my fans give me so much support! I love them so much! THANK YOU (': ♥
