How did you find the site?

I joined Wattpad in August of 2011. A friend of mine told me about the website. I began to read the books and am now just beginning to write.

When did you begin writing?

I just began writing on Wattpad a few months ago. I had been writing for myself for a very long time, but I never finished anything.

What inspired you to first start writing?

What inspired me to start writing was that I loved to read. Always have. So, I then began to write. It wasn't that great at first, but it kept getting better as I worked at it.

What is the best part of witing?

The best part of writing for me is the fact that you can create something totally new. Something no one else has ever thought of before and make it your own.

The most stressful?

Consistently writing. I am horrible with that. And, I'm sorry to any of my readers that haven't heard squat from me in months.

What is editing like?

Editing is somewhat heartbreaking. You could have an absolutely beautiful description or line in your story, but you have to take it out because it doesn't fit quite right or has continuity issues.

I honestly don't prepare: I just write. If I am in a bad mood, so are my characters. If I am totally excited and happy about something, so are my characters. I mean, obviously, I research a little bit. For instance, if I'm going to write a historical story, then I research the customs and such of that time. And if my story is in a foreign country, then I research the landscape. But, for the most part, I just write.

Any tips for new writers?

My tips are the following:

1. Start writing! No matter what it is about; now matter who it is about; no matter if you have the time, start writing. Everything you write is important.

2. Make time for your writing. Now, I am awful with this and am trying to work on it. But, making time to write is vital.

3. Don't make the story too complicated. People like simple, easy-to-read stories. You don't have to be Shakespearean when you write. Just do it.

Any closing comments?

Closing comments. . . Well, I would appreciate it if you would read my story *wink wink*, but I'm not forcing it. I would also like to say thanks to all of my amazing readers. Love you, guys! Thanks for the interview!</pre>
