Interview With The Author [Book One: Completed]

Interview with One_Of_The_Weasleys

My Wattpad username is:

One_Of_The_Weasleys

Age:

I'm 14 years old, and a female:)

What are the names of all the books you write or have posted on Wattpad?

 I have 5 stories, 3 of which are fanfics: Alice Cullen, Before the Cullens(Complete); My side of the Story(Jacob black fanfic) and the one I am currently writing, Neville Longbottom: The Boy who Lived. I have a short story called Goodbye, Dad; Also a prologue to a new story called, The Heart Never Lies.

Which of these books are/was your favorite story to write and why?

 My favourite story at the moment is my Neville Longbottom Fanfic because it gets the most reads and votes and I enjoy writing it because I love Harry Potter and this story is a way of me expressing that in my own way.

Do any of the scenes in your books come from real life experiences, and if so do you want to elaborate which scenes and in what books?

 My story, The Heart Never Lies, is my story that is loosely based on a real experience. I really liked this guy, and nobody really liked his twin, so i started being friendly with him, to let him know that someone was there to comfort him when he was bullied ect. My story just expands on that, but makes the main character end up falling for him rather than his good looking twin.

When you're writing, do you have a schedule or maybe you have something that you do when you're writing?

 My writing schedule is that i try to upload once a week, but this is easier in the holidays. Seeing as I am starting GCSE's in school now, it is harder to find time to write, but I try my best. Also, I have decided to write one book at a time, as i find it difficult to keep up with two or more at a time.

What inspired you to want to start writing and posting your stories for hundreds, perhaps thousands of people to read?

 My inspiration for joining Wattpad was my sister. She was already on here (Simply_Moi), and was encouraging me to join up. I decided to write some stories in the hope that someone might share my HP and Twilight obsession and enjoy what I have wrote as much as I have. Also, votes and comments inspire me to continue. My First fan, AmiesCheepers is who encouraged me to write and finish my first story, Alice Cullen, Before the Cullens. Before her, no-one was really reading it, but I am glad I have almost 4000 reads on it. Thanks AmiesCheepers!

When did you first start writing?

 I have been writing stories since I was young and wrote a story called Lost in a Museum, about a child getting lost in a museum and mutant teddies chase her through the exhibits. I have been on wattpad though since January 26th 2011, and have loved it ever since.

If you could change one thing in any of your books, what would it be?

If I could change a book, I would make My side of the Story set in New Moon, rather than twilight. As we didn't really know what Jacob was doing in the first book, it can be hard to write about something other than him meeting Bella and how he thought. I am having a writers block at the moment, so may not be updating that until after my Neville story :)

When you start writing a new book, does it already have a plot or are you as clueless as to what will happen as your fans are?

 Most of my stories have a basic plot line, all mapped out in my head, but it doesnt always end how I thought it would. I like this because it means I can base some chapters around my fans and readers comments, rather that have a story line fully mapped out, wrote in stone.
