Listen to... Beauty and a Beat by Justin Bieber =D

Thankyou Emma :)

~~~~~~

What is your name?

yoyo Emma Powell(: 

How old are you?

14 

What inspired you to write your first book?

Ummm... Well I started writing at an early age and my dad's a writer so yeah. Haha(: If you mean writing BOD I think it's because I became a fan of one direction via Wattpad and I wanted others to have the same experience!

Who is your favorite author and what is it that really strikes you about their work?

Oh goodness. Well.... It may be Suzanne Collins. I knew all of her work before the hunger games came out. I really love how she's so descriptive and there are all these little things that connect throughout the book. I love Coleen Paratore's work too... And so so so many others!

What is your favourite theme/genre to write about?

Probably teen fiction. Maybe romance! I'm one of those people that gives really good relationship advice and I've never had a boyfriend lol. Sorry off topic... I also like writing Christian books. I find it really hard to find novels for teens that have the romance/Christian theme in them.

Do you see writing as a career?

Yes!! I'd love to be a writer- most likely It would be part time because my dream since I was 3 is to become a preschool teacher! I ADORE kids and that's actually how I started BOD... My love for babysitting and the idea sparked!

Did you VOTE??? if u didn't  --->>>> :)

If you could work with any author who would it be?

Oooooo... Real life or Wattpad? Idk... I'm really not qualified for that! I just turned 14 and um yeah... That's a far stretch haha

Do you use real-life facts based on true stories?

Yes! I'm actually writing a story right now (not to be published on Wattpad) about some drama that's actually going on and with a twist. My ideas come from real life. Say my friend has a boyfriend. Say 4 of my friends like her boyfriend. I don't. So I got to thinking... What if he liked me? Dun dun dun! Lol

Did you ever think you'd be, where you are right now?

Not at all. I never thought it would explode like that! I've had tons and tons of other books on Wattpad and NO ONE has taken interest! The funny thing is I had posted BOD a couple months earlier on a different account and later deleted it!

What advice would you give to people who "run out of creativity" when writing?

You can never run out of creativity! Think about the what ifs! What of this happened! Or that! Seriously do think about the what ifs though! I also like to sit in a coffee shop, say starbucks, with my ipad and watch people. characterizations :) I know that sounds stalkerish but that helps too!! ( Also see below!)

Do you ever suffer from writer’s block? If so, what do you do about it?

Ah, writers block. Writers block is the fancy word for... I don't have any ideas and I can't concentrate on the stupid sheet of paper. If I run out of ideas, or can't write, I set a timer. Make myself write for 10 minutes. Even if its I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW all the way down the paper. This seriously works though. It triggers something in your brain. 

Do you have any advice for other writers?

Keep writing! Don't give up!!! I'm just saying, you aren't 'gifted' with the talent of writing--- anyone can write, it's a matter of a good idea and hard work. :)

Anything fun about yourself you want your fans to know?

I have really bad allergies! I'm allergic to almost everything outside... Grass, trees, weeds, all animals with fur, dust, pollens, molds, scented stuff (like perfume and shampoo) and yeah.... Haha

How would you describe yourself?

Ummm.... I'm hyper! I play basketball. I'm told I have a really cool taste in fashion (haha yeah right though. I wore a t-shirt, jeans, and my basketball shoes to school today) I'm happy. I'm always happy. Even when something's wrong I can be happy. If you want to know why I'm happy, feel free to message me!! On @emmakathrnpowell

Also!!! I'd like everyone to know I'm answering all messages etc on my other account @emmakathrynpowell !!!!:) HIT ME UP I NEED A NEW BESTIE!!!:)
