Wattpad Interviews

@Wordtoyamother

1)How did you discover Wattpad?
I was on another site (I can't remember the name) looking for examples of query letters and someone mentioned how many readers they had on Wattpad and the rest is history.

2)When did you join Wattpad?
Maybe, six months ago

3)How often are you online?
A LOT. An unhealthy amount.

4)What or who inspires you to write?
Well, my little brother is my muse. We sit around and he tosses out a bunch of bad ideas left and right and I just try to catch one or two and make them good. As for inspiration...I don't know...I write because I can.

5)Do you experience writer's block?
Actually, no. I never make a story do what it doesn't want to do. So I never get blocked because I'm not trying to make something up and pack it into this tiny little box. The story tells me where it wants to go, my only problem is procrastination.

6)Who are your favorite authors/what are your favorite books?(Anything Wattpad is accepted)
I'll just say my ultimate favorite. Which is Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampires series.

7)Where do you usually write?
My house

8)Do you listen to music while writing?
No. If I listen to music, I'm dancing. Not writing.

9)What are your hobbies?
I guess you mean outside of writing...umm...music, I suppose. I used to be in a band in college but, you know, that was college.

10)Do you see writing as a career?
Of course. My mentor is about to publish his 15th novel and he's helping me to publish my first. I'm going to learn everything and more about how to make this my life.

11)Are you happy with how your book/books have been doing?
Not exactly but I'm not unhappy either. I believe good things take time. I'm wary of instant gratification.

12)Should there be a new category for books on Wattpad, if so then what?
Oh gosh, yes. And they should put all of the books wrongly categorized, into the right category. There should be a New Adult and Young Adult category, an erotica category, romantic suspense, urban fiction, the list goes on for days.

13)Any advice for new writers?
Be open to taking advice from others. I mean, don't always take their advice (some people just love to hear their own voice), evaluate it first but be open. In fact, I'd say the best way to be a better writer (aside from reading, reading is ALWAYS the best way) is to have ONE person that you trust to guide you through your writing. Over time that one person will grow to understand how you write and where you write from and they can be your greatest aid in developing yourself as a writer and if you pick the right person, a human being.

14)Out of 5 stars how would you rate Wattpad?
Depends on what I'm rating them for. I've made some great friends through the site and developed my work in unexpected ways but there are still great plot holes in the story of wattpad.

15)Why should people check out your work?
I may be biased but because I think it's good :P

16)Anything else?
Thanks for the interview 
