Earlier on this year, I interviewed a wonderful writer by the name of Lilly Ward of Australia, like myself, but you will all know her as Help-me-think-of-one. It was a great pleasure to interview her. She says that she doesn’t “have favourite colours as other tend to get jealous”.  She says that is she was able to change one thing in this world it would be “Humans. Just get rid of them all together.” You have to see her point! We humans have destroyed the plant more than help it, haven’t we?

Anyway, if you want to debate her comment, you will have to take it up with Lilly herself.

This is how the interview went:

Where does your inspiration come from?

Anything and anywhere and from my desire to write something that'll shock even me.

Does anyone help you? (The way they act)

No, it's not generally the people that help me, rather than the idea of them. Or what my interpretation of them is

Is the help intentional?

I don't think so

Do you have an editor, and if so, who is your editor?

Nope. I edit my own work

Who is your favourite writer(s) on Wattpad®?

xoStardust? I don't know, I don't read very often on Wattpad.

Frozen Angel by LynnWoodbury

It's all I want to do

If you weren’t able to become a writer, what else would you like to do and why?

Become a personal assistant or a kindergarten teacher or something boring

Do you have any tips for people who want to write a book?

Just do it. The only thing holding you back from doing something great is yourself. Cut through all the crap and JUST WRITE

What was the first book you posted on Wattpad®?

A really embarrassing story called False Serenity

Why did you decide to post the book on Wattpad®?

When a friend got another friend super addicted to Wattpad, and the two of them refused to shut up about it

What is the book about?

Ugh, it was about a recovering survivor of a plane crash that killed every person she ever loved

What is your favourite book so far that you have written?

Red Leather

Why is it your favourite book?

I pull things off that I didn't even know I could do. I worked harder on that story than I'd ever worked on anything else in my life. I'd say that I deserve to feel proud

Which book did you enjoy writing the most?

Red Leather, definitely

Who is your favourite character?

Ted Griffin

Why is he/she your favourite character?

He was heavily based on my own father

Ugh, I'm awful at updating books. Some days it takes 2 weeks, sometimes I'll update three times a week

How many books have you completed?

Two

How many books are you writing at the moment?

I have ideas, but no solid plot or anything concrete

Is it hard writing that many books at once?

I don't write more than one book at a time. It makes me anxious

Do you enjoy writing?

It's all I enjoy doing

Describe writing to someone who has never heard of it before?

Writing is the study of human experience. It's the study of feelings and relationships and self-discovery and morals. Anyone and everyone can relate to books

Why do you write?

I can't think of doing anything else for a living

What was your first ever stories called and about?

Oh, here we go. The first story I remember writing was about what I did on the weekend in Grade 2. I also wrote about witches. And pet thieves

Is there anything you would like to say to all your fans out there reading this?

I love you so much. : 3

I think you can all see, by this short interview, that Lilly has strong beliefs and is always ready to defend them

Personally, LOVE her book “white lies” and “red leather”. I find that they are wonderfully written and are a great read, maybe you could try and read on in your own spare time, sitting on the toilet, can get to sleep at night, bored in Maths class, or even English class, and given that reading is part of the English curriculum.
