Wattpad Interviews With Writers.

interveiw #62 with jessalynnnotjessica

When did you join Wattpad? How did you discover this site?

I joined just this February. My friend has been on here a while, and she just recently decided to be nice and tell me about it. I seem to know everything she likes 5 months later. When did you begin writing?

There are 2 answers to this. A. the smartbutt answer B. the answer you want. The smartbutt answer is since I learned to write. The REAL answer is, um, I'm pretty sure it was 4th grade.

What is the most rewarding part of writing? The least rewarding?

Well, probably it would have to be when people other than my family show that they like it. Families take oaths that they'll lie to make you feel better. The worst would be when your sister LOVES the story you write and you're too lazy to work on it so she basically won't get out of your room so you have to drag her out and she hits her knee in the process so she cries and gets you in trouble.

If you were stuck in a closet with any one of your characters, who would it be and why?

Ooh, this is tough. I'm pretty sure it'd have to be Anna from Hating The Drama Girl. Just because she's just awesome and loud and slightly crazy, just like me.

Who are your favorite authors?

How do they influence your writing? Gotta be Rick Riordan, James Dashner and Suzanne Collins. Reading Rick's Percy Jackson and the Olympians probably brought out more of my twisted humor than it should have. Apparently I have a 'dark sense of humor'. Whatever that means.

What is the writing process like? Any unique tips you'd like to share on how to make a first draft?

The writing process is basically, you write something, it gets a vote, you write 4 more good chapters in hopes of them voting again, then getting depressed when it's a month and you still have 1 vote. If you want to write a good first draft, just start daydreaming. Soon enough you'll find one daydream you start expanding, and then you've got a book

How do you promote your work?

I don't, sadly. I have this delusion that if I wait long enough, somebody will read it and then it will just go viral. I realized recently that it wasn't gonna happen, so that's why you get to read my rambling.

Which one of your stories has done the best, and why?

Demigods From Europe, definitely. I honestly don't know why people like it, and I don't really feel like asking them. Maybe it's because I got a cool cover for it. Everybody likes cool covers.

Why should readers check out your work?

Because I'd love them forever and give them virtual hugs and cake and candy. As you can see, I have no good reason. I write fanfictions. That by itself is a reason people DON'T read my stories.

Any closing comments?
