Wattpad Interviews

We have ... leigh_!!!!

Dantopaz: Why did you join wattpad?

leigh_: I first came across Wattpad on the App Store, when I'd never heard of it. It was advertised as a reading website and before I knew it I was addicted to the books on there. I first joined last year, but only uploaded a few chapters of a really bad story and didn't promote it at all. I just gave up with it. Then suddenly, in about July this year, I decided to start again and uploaded Serenity Falls, making an effort to promote it. And it just went from there :)

Dantopaz: What story are you most proud of?

 leigh_: Well, I've only written one complete story and that's Serenity Falls, and I have to say I'm pretty proud of it. I'm already working on the next one but I am pretty pleased with how SF turned out... although I'm sure I will always be able to find things I don't like. Hopefully my next story will be even better, though! :)

Dantopaz: If you had to choose your favourite story on wattpad, what would it be?

leigh_: Without a doubt, A Surreptitious Relationship by XxSkater2Girl16xX. It is so well written and... yeah. I just love it.

Dantopaz: What would you rate wattpad out of 100?

leigh_ : Uh... 90. Because it's such a good site, but they do promote the popular stories too much, instead of the undiscovered ones. That's the only negative.

Dantopaz: What’s your favourite story off wattpad?

leigh_: Hm... I actually haven't read a lot of published books since I joined, since I've been too addicted to reading on here! But if I had to pick one... Kiss Heaven Goodbye by Tasmina Perry. It's so good.

Dantopaz: Who is your favourite author on all of wattpad?

leigh_: XxSkater2Girl16xX. Enough said. She's just an amazing writer, and I really look up to her.

Dantopaz: I agree! Who is your most faithful fan?

leigh_: My most faithful fan is probably emergencyreaction. We just got talking on here one day and now we speak practically every day. She comments and votes on all of the chapters, and she's awesome. But there are so many other fans who are so faithful too, and I love them all!

Dantopaz: What is your most embarrassing moment, that you’re willing to share?

leigh_: Oh God... I have way too many. Falling over... in a public place... always bad. That's all I'll say.

Dantopaz: What’s your best way to get rid of writers block?

leigh_: Oh dear. I don't have a good answer to this question, since I actually have writer's block right now. Argh... hate it so much. I don't really have anything I do specifically to get rid of it, I find it usually goes away in a day or two if you just take a break from writing. Either that, or force yourself to write, even if what you've written makes you want to scrap your whole story. Don't scrap it. Because a lot of the time, it's just the writer's block telling you it's bad!

Dantopaz: Where do you find your ideas? 

leigh_: I find my ideas everywhere. Just from everyday life... oh, and reading. Reading is good for ideas. Just don't copy. Plagiarism is bad, folks.

Dantopaz: How often do you upload your stories?

leigh_: Every 4 days. I'm actually pretty good at uploading on time, but it's a lot easier for me since I write way in advance. I've got the whole of Serenity Falls written and completed, ready for uploads. That helps to avoid late updates.

Dantopaz: Are there any stories you are working on at the moment, that are not published? If so, would you mind telling us something about them/it?

leigh_: Yeah, actually! I'm waiting for NaNoWriMo to start so to fill the time I'm currently writing a short story about a fake romance between a girl and her famous best friend. It's completely cliche and probably been done a hundred times before, but I like writing it. And that's the most important thing.

Dantopaz: Is there anything you would like to say in addition?

leigh_: No, I don't think so. Just keep writing and reading, everyone! :D

And that's the end everyone!
