Wattpad Block Party - Winter Edition III

RealisticWriting Presents: Q&A Session

Q&A Session

Back to the Basics

Hi, everyone! I'm Nicola Uy, also known as @RealisticWriting on Wattpad. I love reading, writing, listening to rock music, playing video games, and watching YouTube videos and anime. Also, I may or may not have an obsession with anime guys and Newt Scamander.

How long have you been on Wattpad?

I've been here for three years. I made an account back in the late January of 2014. I was only ten years old at that time, and I wrote cringe-worthy Percy Jackson fanfiction, which is thankfully deleted now.

Why did you start writing? - asked by @ichigothesweet69

I started writing when I was nine years young. I remember having a lot of notebooks with girly designs. I wrote cliché teen fiction stories in them, and they usually contained tons of OOTD's, food, and betraying best friends.

Why don't you write Percy Jackson fanfic anymore? - asked by @Hudson_11

I've outgrown Percy Jackson. I think that to improve in writing, you have to let go of the things that hinder you, even if other people tell you not to.

How many drafts do you have on Wattpad? - asked by @toohottobetrue2
I have three drafts on Wattpad.

One book you wish you had written? - asked by @toohottobetrue2
HARRY POTTER. Everyone would wish to be the next J.K. Rowling, after all.

Someone on Wattpad you'll be ecstatic to change accounts with! - asked by @toohottobetrue2

I'd be ecstatic to change accounts with @yuenwrites, because her account is super-aesthetic, and she's a really good friend of mine.

What is a book that you will never get tired of reading? - asked by @krishatheunicorn

I'd never get tired of reading Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare and The Lunar Chronicles quartet by Marissa Meyer. They're my all-time favorite books, and they are filled with feels!

How were you able to get four thousand followers?

That horrible fanfiction I wrote had more than 500,000 reads. I still don't know how that happened, though. I read, vote, and comment a lot and love making new friends.

Who are your favorite Wattpad authors?

@adam_and_jane is one of my favorite Wattpad authors and a really close friend as well. Her plots are extremely unique, and her stories are very addictive reads. Another favorite author of mine is @sonderingly, whose books never fail to inspire me and of course, make me cry. Other favorite authors of mine are @claudiaoverhere, @TahliePurvis, and @hepburnettes.

What do you do if you lack inspiration for a story?

I like to think, especially in the shower. If that doesn't work, I ask my friends for help. They give amazing advice.

Do your parents approve of you having Wattpad?

My mother wants me to hone my writing skills as early as possible. At first, she encouraged to write on Wattpad, but then I had already secretly made a Wattpad account, even before she told me to improve writing. To answer your question, yes, they approve of me having Wattpad, even if they don't know any of my books or my username.

What is your updating schedule?

Sporadic updates on all of my books, except for Pithy, which is updated twice a week. I have a lot of schoolwork, and I'm trying to get an A+ in my report card.

Do you plan on becoming a Wattpad Ambassador or a Wattpad Star one day?

Of course! It's every Wattpad Author's dream.

Where do you get your inspiration to write from?

I love reading books, and I always think of what-if's, and all those other plot twists, but they never happen. Writing gives me a chance to express my opinion and apply all those plot twists in my books. I think that reading enriches one's vocabulary and develops one's writing abilities a lot.

How's life?

Life is difficult. It's painful. Sometimes, I feel as if it's a noose suffocating me to death, and I just want to let it go. But I remember to keep enduring, and maybe, I'll be happier.

Thank you for asking all these questions! I hope you enjoyed my little interview session. Please vote, comment, follow, and remember to enter my giveaway. Once again, thank you so much and have a nice day! :)
