Wattpad Interviews [Closed]

Millie-L-Blake

How did you discover Wattpad? 

I was once on a website, it was called Mibba and they were advertising Wattpad so I clicked on the advert and found out what wattpad was.

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

I have been here for a long time but only just, had a new account since I didn't like my pen name from before. At the time I was still new and didn't know, you could keep your account and change your name from the settings lol. 

Is there a meaning behind your username? 

There is a meaning behind my username. I love the actress Mila Kunis So with her first name, I used Mila and the L stands for Louise my sisters middle name, and well the Blake is one of my MC in a new novel I am writing as we speak 

Why did you start writing? 

I started writing, because I was Born with a serious heart condition, that has left me to do very little. And so writing helps me take my mind of my problems, and my head in the clouds with all my characters. 

What age did you discover your love for it? 

I'm not sure what age I discovered my love for writing, but I remember when I read The Diary of Anne Frank at college, I think I must have been about 15-16 years old I read that book and I just fell in love with the idea of writing. The emotion from that book, and how she was hiding from Hitler got me she and many other authors inspired me to start my own journey into the world of stories and books. 

Who are you favourite authors? 

I have many fave authors, Roald Dahl, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte, John Green, Ann Frank, E.L.James Sylvia Day, Kitty French, JK Rowling, J.R.R Tolkien.

What are your favourite books? (Books on Wattpad count too!)

Anna Santos, XFakingaSmileX, Leila Adams

What is your favourite genre? 

Romance, but I find that a lot of romances have taken after Fifty Shades Of Grey, I love Fifty Shades Of Grey, of course, but most of what I have found on wattpad have that billionaire cliche going on. But I don't mind we all love a billionaire ;) 

Do you want a career in writing? 

Yes I'd love to have a career in writing. Who supports you the most in your writing? I would have to say a member of a band who I am close friends with, I have known this person for years and we talk every day :)

Choose one of your books:

What is your book called?

A Brother's Love. 

What genre is it? 

 Romance 

What is it about (2/3 lines)?

It is about a young girl, in her 20's who has been dumped by her long term boyfriend of four years. Her Brother finds her in the bathroom, of the bar they are in and things start to get steamy. 

What inspired you to write it? 

I guess I read a lot of Romance, novels and I wanted to think outside of the box, and not have that cliche thing like most romance's do. And so I started to get my pen and paper and wrote my ideas down. 

How often do you update?

I put this book, up in September time of 2015, and haven't updated it. But I am re-writing the new version of it as we speak

 When was it last updated? 

I would say it was last updated again September.

How long are your chapters? 

My chapter are going to be with the new version about 1,500k words. 

Do you think short or long chapters are better? 

Long chapters are better as long as they don't drone on and lose interest. 

Are you proud of how well your book has done?

Yes I am I find that my 6k reads keep going up every day when I wake up and it is making me want to write the new version even more.

Are you happy with the amount of reads it has? 

Yes it has past the goal I original set when I first started it :)

 Do you have any advice for new authors? 

Don't be shy at what you write, don't be so negitave and doubt yourself also write for you and no one else have confidence in yourself to write new things, and don't always be the one to say this is no good. What ever you write will help you in the future.
