How did you discover Wattpad? 

One day I was just browsing through the internet looking for free books to read. As much as I love amazon, I'm a broke college student and would like to read as many books as I can, without spending the money. So one day I stumbled upon this site, created an account and started reading. It wasn't until a few month's ago that I started writing my very first story.

How long have you had Wattpad, and how often do you use it? 

I've been on here for 6 or 7 months, and I use it all the time.

Why did you start writing? What age did you discover your love for it? 

I started writing a couple of months ago. The idea for a book came to me in a dream, and I thought that maybe somebody would come up with the same idea I had and then I could read it. After thinking long and hard about it, I realized that nobody would be able to come up with my idea for the book. So I took out a pen and started writing. I honestly didn't discover my love for reading until a few months ago, but I used to write song lyrics when I was younger.

Alpha, by Regan Ure. The Fallen Crest series by Tijan, The Harry Potter series, and Avaviolet's She's with me.

1,000-3,000 words

Do you think short or long chapters are better?

Are you proud of how well your book has done?

Yes, I am unbelievably happy with how well it has done.

Are you happy with the amount of reads it has? 

Yes, I am very grateful for the amount of reads it has gotten, and while I hope to gain more readers, I am also content with the place it is in now.

Do you have any advice for new authors? 

The best advice I can give you is to have fun and do what you love. Don't write for others, write for yourself. Be friendly, make tons of friends, because when the time comes they will have your back no matter what. When you get that first harsh critique, don't take it as a bad thing, take it as a way to improve your book. And last but most important, never stop writing! I can't stress how important that is. Never give up on your dreams.

This author's writing is really captivating and I enjoyed reading the first few chapters of their story. I really recommend any lovers of paranormal and horror to check them out!!
