Wattpad's Finest

Icholland82700

Icholland82700 is a pretty undiscovered user on Wattpad, with only one book out. But for many, that book is more than enough to satisfy them. The book, Child of the Inferno, is a fantasy story that is very fast-paced and doesn't ever drag. Definitely worth a read if you like fantasy or action. Or just a good book.

The interview:

Icholland82700, what made you join Wattpad?

Well I joined first joined Wattpad a couple years ago because I was looking for free online books, and I found here! I kind of ran out of actual books to read from my library of books on my bookshelf, and when I found Wattpad I never looked back!

Who do you thank most here on Wattpad, for helping you?

I probably would break the rules and thank two people equally, because my I believe that they both were very helpful from the beginning. First, I would thank my friend @EmilyLikesToWrite for editing and just being there in general to run my ideas by whenever I was unsure of something (which is pretty much always...). Secondly, I would thank @SomethingsHere for being one of the first people ever to read and comment on my story and for helping me to realize that I might actually not completely suck at writing!

What is your favourite book on Wattpad (Other than your own)?

Agh! That's a tough one... Am I allowed to have multiple? I would have to say the Paragon and The Demon Records are among my favorites, but I have an entire library of amazing books that is way too long to list off...

What is your favourite of your own books?

Well, Child of the Inferno is probably my favorite out of all the novels I've tried to write so far, and I'm still enjoying the idea and developing the world. I've tried to start a few others before, but none of them really clicked with me, you know? This one has taken ahold of me and even though Arie's adventures have only just begun, I can actually see more unfolding in the future, unlike with some of my other novels I've tried to write before.

Do you have any ideas for a next novel? And, if so, can you give us a sneak peek?

Well one of the ideas I've played around with in my head revolves around John Locke and Thomas Hobbes's differing ideas upon how society should be governed and their views on human nature. Locke believed that people need to self-govern and that this could happen because the fact that people are naturally good. Hobbes was pretty much the opposite, and believed that monarchies and strong governments were needed to keep people in check because humanity is ultimately "bad". And so I designed an "experiment" of sorts, an "experiment" that tested these theories by taking away the factor that might affect the people in question that I would be playing around with. That's all I got for now, while I toss around the idea in my head and combine it with how exactly it could realistically be done within a world, but anyway...

Last, but not least, who is your idol, as an author?

Again, this is a hard one! I think I idolize J.K. Rowling the most though, mostly because she is pretty much a goddess of writing and I love her novels. It's also because I've grown up reading Harry Potter and she's the reason why I wanted to try writing in the first place.
