What inspired you to write a story?

There's people running around inside my head and they won't leave me alone until I write them back to life.

Do you get any hate on your stories? If you do, how do you handle it?

Not at all.

How did you come up with the title and the plot?

The title -- that was after much hair pulling. I looked up quotes on one of my main themes, celebrity culture. I found a really good one which resonated with the plot: "In Hollywood, they'll give you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul.". That was by Marilyn Monroe. As for the plot, I have no idea. I pretty much pantsed everything until chapter 5 or so, when I understood where I was going. I just wanted to write about a rebellious girl falling in love, I guess.

What books would you tell your readers to read? 

If you could work with any author on Wattpad who would it be ?

Hmm, on Wattpad, I'd say, 'If I Matter', 'Alonso Creed-Penance Day' and the 'Soup and Sorrow Digest'. Well, finished books. There's too many I know of that aren't finished and I can't pick out of.

Who is your favourite character in your story and why? 

Absolutely no idea. Too many good ones.

Can you relate to any of your characters? 

Fairly. Not a lot. Their emotions, sure, but not much beyond that. Which I think is pretty cool. They're more alive that way.

Are their any wattpad authors that have grasped your interest?

WontLookDown, StoryofAshlyn and  Black_Dahlia all have

What do you think your cover says about your book?

A little bit mysterious. Maybe serious. A broken character. That's what I'm guessing.

Any advice for other writers who are writing a story?

Finish the damn thing. Learn to take criticism well. Parentheses DO NOT belong in fiction. Don't do it man. Don't do it. Keep it to essays.

Anything specific you wanna say to your readers?

You guys are the most mysterious beings I have ever encountered...love you though c:. You put a smile on my face! So thank you, thank you for reading :).

What do you want to say to writers with their books on hold?

*Hugs* I understand. Life sucks. BUT BOOKS DON'T FINISH THEMSELVES.*slaps writer* *gives writer cookie*
