Books From The Unknown: Interviews

Interview 2: Eleanorxxx

Hey there, Eleanorxxx! So...just to start things off...how old are you?

I just turned 13.

How did you find out about Wattpad?

My friend, Girlintherain, found out from her friend about it and because we both like writing stories, she told me.

Are writing and reading one of your favourite hobbies and what else do you like to do?

Absolutely. I just love reading and writing! Hmmm...other hobbies...dancing, acting, singing, shopping and I've recently taken up rock-climbing.

Who is your favourite author?

Sophie McKenzie. I'm working my way through The Medusa Project series at the moment and I can't tear myself away from her writing! She's just an extremely talented author. Read her books!

Are you experiencing writer's block at the moment?

Sort of. Well, the thing is, I know what's going to happen next in my stories I just don't know how to write it down.

What do you enjoy most about writing and reading?

I love the way reading sucks you up into a completely different world where anything's possible. Your imagination comes alive. And what I love about writing is that when I write a story, everything in it is mine and I control everything. My characters, my storyline and my imagination. And nobody can take that away from me.

What stories have you currently got on Wattpad?

The Choice, Hell On Earth, The Lessons Of Life, Jenny McLawson And Other Stories, The Pentagones: Re-United, May The Best Man Win, Capital L.O.V.E. and I have co-written a story with Girlintherain called He Loves Me; He Loves Me Not! The Lessons Of Life and Jenny McLawson And Other Stories are currently on hold because I'm focusing on my other stories and haven't really been very inspired lately to continue with them! Capital L.O.V.E. is a poem and Hell On Earth is a short story and they are my only works which are completed.

They sound interesting. Please can you give us a summary of all of them?

Sure! Here are the descriptions -

The Choice: When Imogen Hunter wakes up after her car accident, she convinces everyone and helself that she is fine. The results from her many amnesia tests back her up. However, the doctor warns her she may forget a couple of things even so. Choosing to ignore this she doesn't realise she's forgotten about someone rather important - her secret boyfriend. Unaware of the fact that she is already involved with someone she gets a new boyfriend. But when the past starts catching up with her, who will she choose?

Hell On Earth: Anya and Isaac are Jews stuck in a concentration camp in the Second World War. Anya, old and widowed, tries to keep strong and positive for her grandson, Isaac. However, when she is informed that Isaac may have typhoid she starts to develop a plan.

The Lessons Of Life: Meet Genevieve Long, a typical fifteen year old searching for love. Alongside her two friends Addie and Haley, follow the events of her teenage life and the lessons she learns along the way.

Jenny McLawson And Other Stories: Here are the tales of little girl Jenny McLawson and her life. You will never be bored when Jenny's around.

The Pentagones: Re-United: Five children. Five different backgrounds. One purpose.

May The Best Man Win: Sofia Kennedy and Matthew Holder have been best friends for as long as they can remember. When they realise that they're pretty much the only people in their year who don't have an ex or current boyfriend or girlfriend they decide maybe it's time to start looking for love. Matthew, to make things interesting, bets Sofia that he can be a better wingman than her and Sofia takes on the challenge. But will they ever really find true love?

Capital L.O.V.E.: Capital L.O.V.E. is a love poem about...you guessed it...love!

He Loves Me; He Loves Me Not: Damon Cole and Brittany Walker have been best friends for what feels like forever. Brittany is completely unaware of the fact that Damon is in love with her. When new boy Jason Hyde turns up at their school, Damon knows instantly he stands no chance anymore with Brittany. Follow them through the ups and downs and see if true love really does conquer all.

What are your favourite genres to write and read?

I love lots of different genres. I would have to say though that my favourite genres to write and read are Humour/Romance. I just find them really easy to write and read! However, if I wanted to give myself more of a challenge, like I have done with my story The Pentagones: Re-United, I like writing and reading Adventure/Fantasy stories. I feel like they have more imagination in them.

Are there any books you would recommend people to read on Wattpad?

Yes, definiteley. The Kissing Booth and The Hunger Games. They're both amazing. Also, The Wild Star series is really good.

Who are they written by?

I think most people know who The Kissing Booth is written by - the one and only Reekles. The Hunger Games is a Fan Fic written by Girlintherain, the author I have co-written He Loves Me; He Loves Me Not with. All of her books are awesome but if I had to choose one to recommend it would be that one. The Wild Star Series is written by Cords707.

To finish off, what do you want to achieve on Wattpad?

When I'm older, my dream is to be an author, so I would just love for my books to be loved! I would love for them to get on the What's Hot list. But most of all, what I'd love to achieve, is finishing a book and then going on to get it published.

Thank you very much, Eleanorxxx!
