Wattpad Interviews

@minusfractions

1)How did you discover Wattpad?
I discovered Wattpad when my friend recommended it to me for reading and writing.

2)When did you join Wattpad?
Technically I joined a year ago, but I'm one of those users that forgot about their account for ages and I only started using it in August.

3)How often are you online?
Generally I'm on for at least a little while each day.

4)Who or what inspires you to write?
As a sci-fi writer, I'm very much inspired by the developments of science and technology, and I've always had a big interest in fantasy worlds, space, magic and aliens.

5)Do you experience writer's block?
Occasionally, but never for very long because I've found methods of getting around it.

6)Who are your favorite author's/what's your favorite books?(Anything Wattpad is accepted)
Stephen King, Iain M Banks and Brandon Sanderson are some of my favourite authors and my favourite book is probably The Gunslinger by Stephen King.

7)Where do you usually write?
I pretty much always write in my bedroom or on trains.

8)Do you listen to music while writing?
Yes, I tend to listen to instrumental music, video game soundtracks and movie soundtracks, because I find them useful for setting the mood.

9)What are some of your hobbies?
Apart from a lot of writing, I love reading, playing video games and watching movies. I also play the piano and the clarinet.

10)Do you see writing as a career?
I would love to make money off of my writing, though I'm not sure whether I would like to do it full time and it's not something I'm aiming for.

11)Are you happy with how your book/books have been going?
I'm very proud of my books and I'm very happy with how they're going. I would like them to have more reads, but since they're both relatively new, I'm happy that they'll go up with time.

12)Should there be a new category for books on Wattpad, if so then what?
Not that I can think of, but I'd prefer if I could put my story in two categories again because I feel one is a bit vague when most genres have so many sub-genres.

13)Any advice for new writer's?
Don't feel pressured to write in a certain way just because everyone else does. Planning and mapping don't work for everyone. Try your hardest to write the best you can, do it because you enjoy it and try to take any criticism well. Get involved with the social side of this site, because it can really help you and it can be a lot of fun.

14)Out of 5 stars how would you rate Wattpad?
I'd give it a solid 3.

15)Why should people check out your work?
I like to think of my work as science fiction that people who don't generally read the genre can still enjoy. I also update weekly and I'm always editing and redrafting to improve them.

16)Anything else?
I do critique for critique, so if anyone's interested, PM me.
