Interviews Of The Winners

CE_Parker

*Comes out on the stage in my black dress*

Assalam o Alaikuma and hello friends and fans!!

I'm your host and dost Kounj Muzafar. And today I'm very lucky to be interviewing our author and winner CE_Parker of a Freedom Award for her book Destination 1974.

Thank you so much C.E. Parker (Mostly people online call her Pebbs, so you can just call her that) for agreeing to this interview, we feel so good to have you here. Let's start with the usual question.

Tell us a little something special yourself and your background?I was born and raised in Canada, eh. I live in southern Ontario, real close to Niagara Falls :D My great granddad on my dad's side and my Nanna on my mother's side were both born in London, England, and moved to Canada when they were quite small. My background expands a lot more than that, but it would take a while to get into it - no need to put ya'll through an unnecessary history class about me, lol. I'm as pale-skinned as they come, and it's super sensitive to everything, especially the sun. BUT, that doesn't stop me from walking into walls, getting bruises and scars on countless occasions because I'm a moron, and having the shittiest looking hands anyone has ever seen (I'm an artist, though, so luckily that's all that's ever expected from me.) My hair is a sandy blonde, and I've got grey-ish blue eyes (not icy, but like a soft darker hue of bleu) Also, I wear big glasses and have braces because I'm a NERD.

What's your age, your date of birth and zodiac sign? *

I'm 20 years old (02 at heart, haha). I was born on Wednesday August 6th, 1997 - so that makes me a Leo :)

Which genre did your winner book belong to? What draws you to this genre? *

My book got first place in the Mystery/Thriller genre-category. I always felt that a story had to have some sort of mystery aspect to it to be intriguing for me to actually like it and not close the book out of pure boredom. I also love the raw emotion in Thrillers since they can really delve into the psyche of a character. It feels real, and that is probably what draws me in the most is that realism :) (Also, I like solving puzzles and I always aim to figure out mysteries in movies before everyone else, and proceed to annoy the shit outta everyone for calling it in the first ten minutes.)

What do people hate the most about you?

I've been told that I'm pretty intimidating because of my honesty towards others, and most people would rather be told what they want to hear rather than the cold-hard truth. (Well that, and also the fact that I don't know when to shut the fuck up about fandoms I'm a part of, haha. Lord, I was born a rambling man...er, I guess I mean woman...? ((haha... It's time to S T O P)))

What's the most strangest thing you have done?

The strangest thing I've probably done was whenever I acted like a normal human being and not like a woman-child. Weird stuff. It's not like me at all to hold a normal conversation and not have a slight panic attack at least once.

Do you ever get writer's Block? Give one tip on how to get through the dreaded writer's block? 

Oh god, yes I've gotten writer's block many times, especially while writing "Destination 1974". The way I've always gotten through it was taking a step back from my work. Maybe I'd grab something to eat (because everyone knows I've been putting it off all day, haha) or I might watch movies to get the inspiration back, or maybe read some short stories online. If I'm in a writing mood, but have no ideas, I'll just step away from my current novel that I'm stuck on, and just do random writing prompts or even fanfiction requests from my followers just to write anything, ya know? Eventually, I might have an idea just pop into my head, and then get back to writing my novel.
