Wattpad Interviews

@seventhstar

seventhstar is an account home to some amazing books such as 'The Hall of Games' which has 663k reads and they have 11.2k followers. It was great to interview her and this is what she had to say!

Why did you start writing on Wattpad?

I don't think there is a specific reason why I started writing on Wattpad, probably because I love writing? Then I finally summoned the courage to post my works here, and the reception was great!

How did you become so good at making amazing graphics?!

Practice, cry over other people's work, continue to practice. It's an endless cycle.

What was it like to win a Watty?

It was pretty cool! I didn't know I won a Watty until like a day in as my entire town lost internet connection. When I got on, my message board was flooded with messages congratulating me on the wattys win and I was like "what is going on?". Then I realised I won a Watty! All around, it was an amazing experience.

Have you got any books planned for the future?

Right now I am working on the goodness knows how many rewrites of my fantasy story "Hall of Games". I don't have any other books planned for the future other than my Celestial Chronicles, but I have some plot bunnies stored away just in case!

What was the process to becoming an Ambassador like?

I became an Ambassador in early 2015, it was a pretty selective process. I think my passion for the clubs (it has died down now, so I changed roles from Community Ambassador to Engagement Ambassador) got me into the team! You just sign up your name in the google docs form available in the Ambassador's profile and give good reasons why you want to join. I have to say beforehand though, being an Ambassador is not a liability, it's a responsibility.

What's been your best Wattpad experience?

Probably getting to know so many amazing people on Wattpad! Wattpad changed my life for the good, and taught me so much.

And finally, what advice would you give to a new writer on Wattpad?

Don't write for the sake of reads, write because you love it and you want to share your story to the world. Don't look at the reads, just don't. If you are passionate about your writing, eventually someone is going to come along and appreciate your hard work.
