q and a time with zu!
where do you write your stories?
mostly on my laptop! i do use my phone as i get ideas throughout the day, so i always write down those into my docs, but i always like to write on my laptop, it's just more comfortable for me <3
when did you start watching f1, what/who made you love the sport?
when i was around 8 years old, i remember that my late dad used to watch f1. he was a huge ferrari and michael schumacher fan, but i wasn't really watching it.
and when i got together with my boyfriend, he would watch races and i was like.. 👀 okay but why do you watch 20 men racing in circles
little did i know we would be stuck in quarantine, sick. and a new season of dts came out and he asked me if we could watch it together. well, i became obsessed with the series and i started to watch the season with him, so i've been watching since 2021 and my bf made me fall in love with the sport! my dad would be proud haha.
any chance you'll be writing a max verstappen fic?
at this moment i'm not planning to, but who knows?
favourite things to do for fun?
i love writing, obviously! but other than that, i love traveling—not only abroad, but trips across my country! i love reading, listening to music, singing, learning new languages, going to the gym! and spending time with my bf/family/friends. <3
your plans for the future (wattpad/real life)?
wattpad: writing all of my planned stories in the racing hearts series (illicit affairs / pg10, the great war / cs55, olivia / ln4), expanding the series with more fics and drivers! i need to stay down to earth tho, i'm in my last year of masters and i have a teaching practice in october, then i need to start research and write my master's thesis (around 90 pages) and prepare for my state exams so... it's gonna be tough and i hope you'll be patient with me <3
life: finishing my masters for sure!! and then becoming a teacher of history and english. traveling a lot with my boyfriend to all the places we've always wanted.
and maybe... publishing a book? that would be the biggest dream come true. or becoming a writer full-time, but idk if that's possible haha. just my dream :)
if you could choose any f1 race to attend, which one would you choose?
monaco, monza, red bull ring, hungaroring, silverstone! (but i'd love to see ANY race!)
favourite place you've traveled to?
i absolutely ADORE london. with my whole heart! and i love croatia! oooh, and i fell in love with italy. <3
how long have you enjoyed writing? what got you into it?
i think i started writing when i was 12, i started publishing on wattpad around when i was like...14?😭 but that was HORRIBLE
i've always loved reading and my head is in the clouds all the time, full of ideas and scenarios, so i wanted to somehow bring them to life!
what inspired you to start writing this story?
i'd say that the whole plot is fiction, but i always put bits of me in the stories and i definitely see some similarities. i was probably listening to some playlist tho, ideas come to me naturally!
how did you make the decision to publish it?
i used to publish stories written in czech here, so i was kinda used to publishing my ideas. it was different in english, i was kinda afraid if i'd even have some readers since all my readers were czech... but i just told myself: DO IT.
if you're afraid to publish, don't be!! the world needs to know your ideas, and you never know what impact your story can have. <3
which circuit is your favorite?
monaco, bahrain, silverstone, red bull ring, hungaroring, suzuka, monza! (sorry that was way too many)
fav taylor swift song?
WAY TOO MANY AGAIN. but if i had to pick my top songs... daylight, the archer, tlgad, back to december, i can see you, out of the woods... i can't pick one haha
how come that you are such a talented writer? i love your works (english and czech ones – i am happy to be czech because i can read your previous works too)
now this is SUCH a compliment. -hanca- has really been here almost from the start, we go way back. honestly, thank you so much for this, it means a lot. <3 (u guys let's talk Hanča into writing an english book!!)
how do you come up with characters (their appearance and personality?)
when it comes to appearance, i have some kind of a picture in my head, and then i match a face claim! sometimes i immediately see a fc in a character, it just screams the character's name for me!
their personality—i'd say i get a lot of inspiration from people around me—those who are amazing, but also those who used to be around me or i used to know and weren't... so great.
i really put pieces of me in my books haha.
what is Addy's favorite holiday destination and why?
oh, definitely monaco. and maybe she has one other favorite destination... wait for the bonus chapters. 🤭
Addy's favorite TV shows?
Addy is a simple girlie, she loves gossip girl, pretty little liars and gilmore girls. 😎 and suits!
∘₊✧── THANK YOU! ──✧₊∘
from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.
i can't even describe how much i appreciate every single of you. you've made me fall in love with writing again, you've made me feel so motivated to write with your lovely comments and messages.
i never thought this story would gain that much of readers. but i'm glad you found this story and lived Addy and Charles's story with me. <3
i know some of you have said that men like Charles are fictional and they don't exist—i wrote this story for my own Charles, and we've been together for more than five years. i can only say—never lower your standards, and when you know, you know. love will find your way to you—i know that. everyone's journey is different, embrace yours.
you all are beautiful souls and i want you to know you deserve the best. <3
(you can find my ig if you want to connect w me, if you want my personal ig and we've connected over the comments/dms, dm me <3)
please, if you enjoyed this story, check out ILLICIT AFFAIRS. the story will be about Addy's two best friends, Pierre and Hazel. i can already say that the story is gonna be one hell of a ride. 😎 and yes, Addy and Charles will be very much present!
first chapter is coming on the weekend. <3
and yes, i will write two bonus chapters, so don't remove MA CHÉRIE from your libraries and reading lists <33
also, if you are looking for some amazing stories, my wonderful friends happen to be super-talented writers. girls, i love you, even tho each of us is literally in different corners of the world.
