Books From The Unknown: Interviews

Interview 11: Surf1996Girl

Hey there, Surf1996Girl! So...just to start things off...how old are you?

I am 15.

How did you find out about Wattpad?

I actually found Wattpad by accident when I was trying to find some books online. And to be honest I'm glad I found it!

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

Yes! I love reading! My room is so full with books that I'm actually finding it difficult to find places to store them. But I'm also very sporty, and play Netball and Basketball!

Who is your favourite author?

Suzanne Collins.

Are you experiencing writer's block at the moment?

I'm not experiencing it at the moment, but I have in the past and I have to say it's the worst thing ever!

What do you enjoy most about writing and reading?

The thing I enjoy most about reading and writing is the freedom of it all. I love reading, it allows me to go places I've never been, experience new things, explore possibilities, learn something new, and often about myself. Only in books can I fly on the back of a dragon, talk to the gods, travel the world, go to the future and the past. Reading makes anything possible, dreams come true, your imagination takes flight and your problems fade as you take on the problems of those you are reading about. Basically, reading makes even the impossible, possible and that gives you hope.

What stories have you currently got on Wattpad?

 Currently I've got two stories on Wattpad...Living the Lie, and Waiting for Deception.

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

Living the Lie was actually a spur of the moment story! It's summary...everyone has something to hide, but some things are better off left in the dark.

Waiting for Deception was written when I was 13 and had a slight obsession with spies. It's being edited at the moment. It's summary...Kate may be capable of surviving an attack on her life, but staying awake during lessons is proving a struggle for her. The only thing that's keeping her sane is her four friends. But something's happening in Bishop's Academy, and is Kate's trust in the wrong people going to make matter's worse?

What are your favourite genres to write and read?

My favourite genre's are probably romance. I'm a sucker for good romance stories.

Are there any books you would recommend people to read on Wattpad and who are they by?

There are loads of books I would recommend to reader's on Wattpad...loads of my fans have brilliant books! Though I would have to say that You're a Crappy Teddy Bear by xsnickerss and Trying to Cope by BeccaM304...are two amazing books that deserve more recognition!

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

To be honest, by being on Wattpad and having my work being read by people across the world and making friends is better than anything I could acheive. Though, I would like my works to have reached the What's Hot list!

Thank you very much, Surf1996Girl!
