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.
What is your favourite book(s) on Wattpad®?
Frozen Angel by LynnWoodbury
Do you want to write professionally later on in life?
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
How long does it normally take for you to update a book?
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.
