Thankyou Emma :)

~~~~~~

What is your name?

Emma, but I go by 'Emmiie' on Wattpad.

How old are you?

22 in April, on the 17th.

What inspired you to write your first book?

A dream I had. I couldn't stop thinking about it. And the characters and storyline were so vivid within my mind. It was a series which The Not So Secret Life of Helena Callahan was based from.

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

Richelle Mead is my favourite author, hands down. She is such an inspiration to me. I am in no way an avid reader, though I have a strong passion for writing, but her novels suck me in like nothing else - to the point where I actually lose sleep over them. I can see the world's she creates so clearly in my mind, and we share a very similar sense of humour which also helps a lot.

What is your favourite theme/genre to write about?

Urban Fantasy, though I wouldn't mind getting into Epic.

Do you see writing as a career?

Yes, definitely. I couldn't see myself doing anything other than writing. I am studying writing in uni. I am constantly loooking at ways to better my work. My world revolves around writing. Literally. If you could work with any author who would it be? Richelle Mead. I idolise the woman.

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

Yes. Definitely. Though it's hard to tell fact from fiction.

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

Not really. I've always had a strong passion for writing, but it used to be something I did for fun, now it's something I do for fun and want to do as a career.

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

Don't give up. Just, step away...do something else for awhile: read a book, listen to music, go for a walk, and/or watch TV.

Do whatever inspires you. Don't force it. Take a break, step back, and the creativity will come when you aren't forcing it.

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

Yes, definitely. I go for a walk or listen to music. Writer's Block mostly streams from a lack of ideas...so, the best way is to get inspired...write notes, get planning. It's hard to write without a plan or direction.

Do you have any advice for other writers?

Always have an outline. Though freelancing is fun and more exciting, if you plan on writing a sequel, it's good to have facts - especially when you're as forgetful as I am. Even if it's just random dot points, keep tabs on what you're writing. And also, I find that nothing is more intimidating than a blank piece of paper. One little trick I found handy, was that when I stopped writing - at whichever chapter point that might be - I'd keep a random note of what I was going to write next as a reminder. Otherwise, if I didn't do this, I'd often lose my place and need to re-read.

Anything fun about yourself you want your fans to know?

Oh, this is hard to answer...I only have random 'weird' facts, like: I'm double jointed, I can bend my finger in weird places and do strange things with my tongue. Other than that, I'm just your average, ordinary everyday superhero.

How would you describe yourself?

Introverted. Massively. I'm quiet, always writing (or editing - sometimes reading). I love music, constantly have my headphones in. It takes me a long time to be comfortable around someone - I mostly resort to dry (bad) humour - but when I am comfortable enough to come out of my shell, you'd wish I'd shut up again.
