-When did you join wattpad? Why?

I joined Wattpad on July 7th, 2011. I was on Facebook and Is aw a link that had something to do with character list for a Halo fanfic. I thought, 'No way. There's a place you can put your writing online for people to see? I must.'

-What is (in your opinion) the best part of wattpad?

I think the best of Wattpad to be the hugely diverse group of talented writers. I've never seen so many people write about so many different things. It's great to see the youth (as if I'm not young myself) doing something productive.

-Why did you begin writing? I started writing because I thought this life to be boring. I was always a child with an imagination, so I was told. I wanted to create a world that I could escape to and live out a fantasy life I've always dreamed of.

-What makes your writing different than any other authors?

That's a very good question and it's caused me to pause and think on this one. I believe my writing to differ from some authors simply because some like to write as small hobby while others do, in fact, write because they absolutely love it. My writing is, to me, a child I get to see grow up. I get to make it better when I see a few things wrong. I can watch her become a prosperous part of me that I will always love and cherish.

-=Which of your stories are you most proud of? What is it about?

The main project I'm working on is Howling at the Moon. It wasn't the first story I've but it's the most developed. I had a co-writer but she's gone MIA. It's about a boy named Auron who has recently turned 13 and as he is celebrating, his entire family of werewolves are slain right before him by his uncle who was banished years ago for killing Aurons father, Auron must now with the aid of his two best friends survive and flee across the country.

-What is the most stressful part of writing? The most stressful?

That's an easy answer for most authors and that is absolutely writer's block. It's completely frustrating.

-Who are you favorite authors?

James Patterson. JK Rowling, and Rick Riordan.

-Why did you become a writer?

I became a writer to live out my own life adventures and danger through my imagination and creativity in words.

-Any tips for new writers?

I have a few: plan out your plot before anything and THEN create your characters who can help assist the plot. Readers love detail. Attention to detail is one of, if not the most, important thing to do while developing a story. Lastly, never let anyone put you out of writing something you think is a fantastic idea for a story.

-How do you promote your writing?

I promote by going to the clubs and see who's looking for an interesting story to read or for people who like to critique. I ask them to critique the prologue and the first chapter. If they fall in love with it from there, then I have done my job.

-Any closing comments?

Thank you for the opportunity to let people see what is stirring around in my head and allowing myself to help others in any way, if at all. Thank you and may the best of luck go to you up-and-coming writers out there.
