1.) What inspired you to start writing?
Urm... probably my overactive imagination. I was always daydreaming about so many different fantasies and worlds from a very young age. Also, my mum has written a few books too.
2.) What kind of things do you draw inspiration from?
Ooh.. Many things. Life experiences mostly. My friends and family (and enemies) are all huge inspirations for my stories.
3.) What is your favorite book (or) books on Wattpad?
I absolutely LOVE Peter (written by jitterbug7) and the sequel Wendy Darlin'. As well as Cello Duet by Opalescent__. Those stories are my guilty pleasures..
4.) What was the first book you ever read on Wattpad?
Good question! I think it was Backfire by BelWatson. She writes great fan fiction. I guess she was also one of my inspirations, especially for my fan fiction.
5.) Do you plan your chapters before you write them or do the ideas for the chapters come to you as you write them?
I usually have a vague idea of what I want the chapter to conclude with... it's the journey there that's made up as I go.
6.) What is your biggest accomplishment on Wattpad?
My LouisTomlinson fan fic called: What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger. I know it's a bit of an unoriginal title but it does fit the story line. Also, when I say fan fic... I dont mean the 'meet in a concert and fall in love' type of fan fic. It's a little different... Haha. Currently it has 4,510 reads, which is incredible.
7.) Which one of your fictional characters can you most identify with and why?
Amelia King. I wrote her as a year younger than myself, with the same career aspiration. She's quiet, gets fairly average grades and shies away from the spotlight. But, she is also very blunt, opinionated and doesn't like being treated like a child. All of this I can relate to. It wasn't until I was halfway through the story, that I realised I had basically molded this character from myself. The only real difference was her appearance.
8.) What is you favorite book you have written so far? And why?
My favourite book I have written.. Hmm.. Probably the one called Nocturnal Purrings. Its about a seventeen year old girl who transforms into a cat every night. It also touches on subjects like race and sexuality. It's got quite a weird plot... but I think that's why I like it.
9.) Any advice to new writers?
Write what you feel/have felt and/or have experienced. It makes the story sound so much more real when it comes from the heart. Also, check punctuation and spelling mistakes. When you come back to read the story in a few months time, it can be incredibly embarrassing depending on all of that. Plus, you'll gain followers quicker with good grammar.
10.) How did you come across Wattpad?
I simply clicked a link on Twitter.
More about you questions:
11.) What is your favorite color?
Blue or a maroon-y type colour.
12.) Comfort food?
Mint choc chip ice cream... (or strawberry with bits of strawberry in)
13.) Your favorite quote?
"Don't be afraid to get those hands dirty. Life is out there to be experienced, so what's the point in wearing rubber gloves?" - my dad after I refused to do the washing up without wearing rubber gloves.
14.) Favorite movie?
Peter Pan... Or High School Musical. The songs are ace to sing along to.
Finish this sentence (just for fun):
That awkward moment when... you walk out of the restaurant toilets with your skirt tucked into your tights. I've done that far too many times.
One time I fell over standing still.
I know... I don't even know either.
