What is your username?

A. Explosively

When did you join Wattpad? And for how long have you been writing (in general)?

A. I joined on January 2nd, 2014. I have been writing since I was about 8 and still am.

What can you tell us about the current story you’re working on? Tell us a little about the plot and the characters in it?

A. The story I'm working on is called "Masquerade Kiss". Basically, it's about a headstrong girl named Mikayla who dreams about becoming a successful music artist. She has the talent, but not the fame so she is extremely bitter towards Blake Ryan, a teen pop sensation who seems to have everything. The two meet and their meeting didn't go well, but as the story progresses, they find out that they need each other so they decided to fake a relationship.

Why do you think the readers should read your story (mention the factors which will be appealing to the readers)?

A. They should read my story because the plotline is original. I don't think I have ever encountered a story where a famous popstar and an ordinary girl decide to fake-date for publicity. This story contains humor, plot twists, drama, romance, and anything a teen is looking for. It shows that people can find a common ground, and it shows that it is hard to trust someone again when they have backstabbed you.

Which is your favorite character, in the current story you are working on?

A. My favorite character is Blake Ryan's sister, Jade. She's extremely caring and forgiving. She acts like a kid but can be an adult at crucial moments. Jade is the kind of girl I would want as my best friend. She can brighten up people's moods and is a great listener.

How many stories have you posted on Wattpad (excluding short stories)?

A. 1 (and still ongoing)

Do you offer critiques to other users? If you have offered a critique, mention that story?

A. No because probably when I feel comfortable with critiquing other people's work, then I will!

Can you tell us about your other stories, any two other stories that you are working on?

A. After I am done with Masquerade Kiss, I want to write a regular teen fiction book about an average, shy girl who wants to reconnect with her ex-best guy friend who became extremely popular. I was thinking about making it super hilarious so that it's more unique. I haven't really gotten toward the specific details, but I'm eventually working toward that!

Do you write for yourself or for the readers?

A. I write mainly for myself, but if people actually like my work then brownie points for me (:

Describe yourself in ten words.

A. Stressed, depressed, well-dressed, but still enjoying writing my wattpad story (:
