Wattpad Interviews With Writers.

Interveiw #8 with ohbaby22

Why did you join wattpad?

I was looking for books that I could read online for free and I came across Wattpad. For the longest time, I didn't know how to even use it and I didn't know you could post your own stories until I was nearly a year into reading the stories on here. I'm STILL struggling to figure out everything that can be done on Wattpad, but I love it a lot.

How long have you been on wattpad?

I think a few years. I've been writing for much more time than that, but I never it the guts to post anything or show anyone my stories. On Wattpad, people don't even have to know who I am to enjoy my stories.

What kinds of stories do you write? (Genres, plots, ect.)

I write a bunch of different stories about fantasy, thrillers, romance, that sort of stuff. I'm a total action-lover, so I barely write a story without action in it. Romance I'm terrible at because I've never experienced the sort of stuff that happens, so I have a hard time imagining what could possibly be going on when someone is in love. So, if you ever read my romance stories, just know that I'm pulling all of it out of my butt

When do you prefer to write?

I prefer to write when no one is home and I can listen to loud music. I hate writing with people over my shoulder or in complete silence. It's just harder for my brain to concentrate with people or if there is that sort of loud silence shiz going on.

What is the editing process like? Do you find it stressful?

Editing definitely sucks! But sadly it has to be done. Usually, about a day after I've written something, I go back and reread it to see if I made any mistakes.

Where do you see your writing career in 10 years?

I hope to have either won an award or something! I don't really plan on becoming a writer( I want to become a forensic scientist) but I won't stop, of course. I love writing and making up my own worlds and having complete control of everything, but I don't know how far I'm going to get on only writing in my life. It'll be a crutch, but only that.

Do you plan on publishing any stories?

I would love to, but it would be hard to contiue to write if it was to get a good feedback from readers. Already my life is hectic, I can't even imagine what it like having everyone waiting for you to write hundreds of pages for only one novel.

WHich of your stories is most popular? why?

I don't actually know, maybe Lick the Flames? I'm not too popular, as you've guessed, so I don't get much feedback on my stories. I don't know WHY Lick the Flames is popular, but what I really want to be popular is The Royal Peasant. I love writing about it and I've already fallen in love with some of the characters and it's only two chapters in!

Any tips for newbie writers?

DON'T GIVE UP! The number of reads doesn't matter. What matters is that you're having fun and you love writing! Also, take criticism as help to improve, not to heart so it won't bring you down. Writing is hard for some people, so my motto is: As long as you love to write and you keep going, everything will soon fall into place for you. DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

Who are your favorate authors? Any on wattpad?

Well, my favorite author here on Wattpad is EKShortstories. She's so fabulous and probably the kindest person I've ever met! Out of Wattpad, my favorite author is James Patterson. I've loved him ever since I was younger and I always will. He was truly my inspiration to begin writing
