1. What inspired you to write a story?

The first story I finished (which I haven't posted here, cause it was kinda terrible) was inspired by a

combination of Les Miserables (the film), Tamora Pierce's Tortall books and Sarah Maas's Throne

of Glass.

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

When I get hate, I just ignore it. Someone out there is always going to hate something you do. Try

not to take it too personally.

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

The plot is always easy, until you get to that middle part that you just can't seem to figure out. The

beginnings and endings are easy, but the middle is terror, at least for me. The title sort of comes

on its own, about halfway through the outlining, or sometimes the title just pops into my mind, and

I know I have to come up with a plot to go with it, which is what happened with my story 'Magic

Promises'.

4. What books would you tell your readers to read?

Whatever they want. Why should I pick their reading material for them? Though, if you haven't

already done so, check out Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic series, and April Legacy's Soul Fire.

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

Probably@inkzerospace or@littleLo.

6. Who is your favourite character in your story and why?

In "They Call Me Princess" I like Splotch, because who wouldn't like the adorable kitty?

From "Silver Words" I like James because I tried to make him the perfect combination of sweet

and sarcastic. From "Magic Promises" I like Lucian and Isabeau equally because I think they each

have a part of me in them.

7. Can you relate to any of your characters?

All of them. That's how I created them, and gave them thoughts and feelings. Even the evil ones

have to have something that I can relate, otherwise they just don't seem real.

8. Are their any wattpad authors that have grasped your interest?

@AxisDreamer and@littleLo. They both write well and show great potential.

9. What do you think your cover says about your book?

You cover is what first attracts a reader's attention. It has to say everything so they know they'll like

what's beyond it, but also nothing so it doesn't give away the plot.

10. Any advice for other writers who are writing a story?

Yeah. If you can't finish it, leave it for a while, edit what you have, and come back to it.

Sometimes it'll finish itself.

11. Anything specific you wanna say to your readers?

Thank you all, for the positive, the negative and the neutral. I take your criticism seriously, and you

are all wonderful... Just sometimes I wish there were more of you. Hmm.

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

Don't delete your work. Save it, come back to it, add to somewhere in the middle, outline it, and read

similar stories. Who knows? You might get ideas.

(Also, if you have a short chapter you want to put in, maybe a side story or a memory, that can

be really helpful, and it sometimes jars your mind.)
