Wattpad Interviews [Closed]

MollyRMiller

How did you discover Wattpad?

I'm not really sure. I think I was browsing the internet, looking at self publishing things, and found this amazing website (:

 

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

I think I've been on Wattpad for about 3 months or so...? I use it every day.

 

Is there a meaning behind your username?

It's my name. Creative, right? (: But I purposefully made it plain because that's what I want people to know me as.

 

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

I have evidence that I was writing when I was about 6 years old, but I could have been writing before that. I really discovered my love for it when I was around 11ish.

 

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

My favorite authors are Margaret Peterson Haddix, J. K. Rowling, Orson Scott Card, and Michael Grant.

My favorite books are the Harry Potter series, all the books I've read in the Ender's Game Series so far, The Phantom Tollbooth (I've read it a least 12 times), and all the books in the Gone Series.

My favorite genre? That's a toughie. I really like mystery, thriller, horror, fantasy, teen fiction... I don't know! How 'bout a little of everything?! (except chicklit, romance, and fan fiction)

 

Do you want a career in writing?

Y. E. S.

 

Who supports you the most in your writing?

My family and - of course - my Wattpad fans! (:

Choose one of your books:

 

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

The Suicide Club. Horror/Thriller. It's about 17 teenagers who have decided to join a club called The Suicide Club. (I'd rather not give much stuff about it away, you'll just have to read it!) (:

 

What inspired you to write it?

I'm not really sure. I think I just thought, "Oh! What if there was a club called The Suicide Club?"

 

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

I update whenever I finish a chapter which is normally every day. I last updated yesterday in the evening.

 

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

My chapters are quite short. I personally think short chapters (especially when you're reading the book online) are more desirable for readers since it's easier to find a breaking point, although, they may be looked down upon by some writers.

 

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

 Yes! I did not expect it to ever get this many reads! Granted, I would like more reads (like every author), but I am so grateful for the reads I have (:

Do you have any advice for new authors?

My advice is this: Don't always take people's advice to heart. I know this sounds silly, but seriously, every person's writing style is different. So - and I'm being seriously - don't take this to much to heart. This is what I've learned and what helps ME. And it might just possibly help you, but if it doesn't, so be it.

Also, don't change your writing style just because of one person's personal opinion. If you get multiple comments on readers wanting you change something, then maybe you should think about it. Not everyone is going to like your book.

This author has two completely different books, however they are both really good. There is a book of stories written as a child which I found rather humourous. Contrasting that, her novel 'The Suicide Club' is slightly insane but has a good plot. I recommend her to horror fans!
