Wattpad Interviews With Writers.

Interveiw #46 With xxsmilexsadxx

When did you join wattpad and why?

>>I joined Wattpad on Oct 27, 2012. Actually I've been around since July 2012 but I deleted my account. I joined wattpad because I was curious about this website since my best friend is very addicted to it. And after a few seconds on the website I instantly fell in love with it. Writing and reading is my passion so I am glad to be a memeber here.

What is the best part of writing?

>>The pest part in writing is when you're thinking about some twists and turns in the story. Like what will you write to make the protagonist look like an antagonist? Will you make new characters? Or will the protagonist encounter the enemy while he's emptying his load in the bathroom? A lot of thing can happen in a story. I tend to think too many twists and conflicts that I have to list them down one by one!

Why did you become a writer?

>>First of all I never really thought of me being a writer before. I'm just like any normal bookworm you see. But there are times ideas started forming in my head and I would list them down. Soon enough I would write a whole story. I guess I became a writer because I want to feel how it is to become a 'god' in your own made up world. In writing you can write anything about anyone. And also You can influence other people into writing as well!

What inspires your work?

>>Usually whatever happens to me in real life. My life is a bit of twisty unlike others...Then there are also awesome books out there that inspires me to think about a plot twice as awesome as those. So generally my experiences and books inspires me to write stories.

Who are your favorite authors? How do they influence your writing?

>>My favorite authors are Anne Rice, Rick Riordan, Veronica Roth, Pseudonymous Bosch and a lot more. My imagination went wild after reading The Lightning Thief so that's the time I really took writing seriously. Most of my favorite authors affected the way I write my works. For example Pseudonymous Bosch influenced me to make my works somehow humorous to the read. Stuff like that.

What genres do you write in?

>>I usually write fantasy and romance stories. Now I'm trying my luck in the mystery/thriller, science fiction, vampire and werewolf genres.

Why should readers check out your work?

>>Readers should check out my work because...I really want to improve in writing. I'm pretty much confident (okay maybe not so confident. About 75% confident) to say that my works are original plots (but some of them are probably a mix up of other plots). I really can't say if they really are original, it's up for the readers to decide.

What is the editing process like for you?

>> Editing process is the HORROR of writing!!! I'm from SouthEast Asia so I'm really not a total expert in the English language. I usually write my stories down in Microsoft WOrd and consult my ancient dictionary from time to time.

What is your biggest writing pet peeve?

>>EDITING. Just the thought of it hurts my brain!!!

Any closing comments?

>>Don't feel down if your story isn't that popular. There will be a time that your story will be the next big hit! Just remember, you started writing because you love it, and not to be popular okay?
