Wattpad Interviews [Closed]

How did you discover Wattpad?

I really don't remember. I think a friend put me through it because she was reading a really great book. It took me three profiles and quite a lot of sitting around before I started writing.

How long have you had Wattpad, and how often do you use it?

I am frequently on wattpad ((except for my recent hiatus)). I've had wattpad for probably three years but this account for one.

Is there a meaning behind your username?

It's just my name really.

Why did you start writing? What age did you discover your love for it?

I started writing really young, probably because I read heaps as a child and I had an over active imagination. It was probably at the age of eleven when I started to really love writing though.

Who are you favourite authors? What are your favourite books? (Books on Wattpad count too!) What is your favourite genre?

Rainbow Rowell, J. K. Rowling, Veronica Roth, Suzanne Collins, George. R. R. Martin and Melissa Marr ((jeez I think I've covered them all)). My favourite books pretty much co-relate to those authors. There isn't a book I pick up from those authors and don't like. But there's also books on wattpad like: No Sparks Required ((added it the other day and read it all in one sitting)), Miles To Go, Bite Me and Top Bunk. Literally they are the best. Uh I kind of read every genre like my bookshelf range has Game of Thrones (George. R. R. Martin) and Fangirl (Rainbow Rowell). Kind of very diverse.

Do you want a career in writing?

Heck yes.

Who supports you the most in your writing?

My grandmother. She's always going up to people and saying 'my granddaughters a writer' and she's always very proud of me which I think is just the cutest thing ever.

Choose one of your books:

What is your book called? What genre is it? What is it about (2/3 lines)?

The Christmas Mission. It's my christmas book that is set to come out in November ((so I'm damn excited)) and yeah I just love it. It's about Holly Claus who is the descendant of Nicholas and Noelle ((mr. and mrs. claus)) and is set with a mission to restore humanities faith in christmas.

What inspired you to write it?

I've always wanted to do a christmas novel and I just felt the need to do it this year because I LOVE christmas.

How often do you update? When was it last updated?

((it hasn't even been put out in the world yet)) it will, however, be updated once a week for the span of november and december ((there might be a double update in there though))

How long are your chapters? Do you think short or long chapters are better?

Since the book is twelve chapters I'm going for around 2k word chapters. But I usually aim for at least 1k. it really depends on what I need to say in the chapter to see how long it is though.

Are you proud of how well your book has done? Are you happy with the amount of reads it has?

((again hasn't been posted)) but yes I am proud with what I have written so far. I simply adore all of my books and I know that I don't need a loot of reads because however many readers I have are all precious to me.

Do you have any advice for new authors?

Love what you write. Don't listen to critics. Be yourself. DO NOT RE-READ AND SELF EDIT! Get someone else to sit down and just read it because you will be way too harsh on yourself. ((I DID IT FOR TWO YEARS, IM NOT LYING))

I really like ehr style of writing and her idea for her new Christmas book sounds amazing so I can't wait for it to come out.
