Well-known for the 'Two Gangs and a Golden Girl'.

When did you join Wattpad and why?

I joined in 2016 and because I wrote a book that I wanted to share.

How did it feel like when you posted your first story on Wattpad?

I felt so excited. I thought I'd get millions by the time I wake up. I paid the heavy price in learning that was not the case. After that I really tried writing m heart and soul into books, but the cliche's got fame. I took a break from writing after that and just read, but always got bored. Books were never really what I wanted. This year, I made a new account and started fresh. I wrote what I wanted to read and never expected to get popular.

Who/What influenced your writing?

I've always loved writing. Since before I could walk I made little stories. It was always with me. Maybe because of my mother that loved telling me stories at night. It was your classics, but each night it had a twist.

Your inspiration?

My dreams are my inspiration. I love series and movies, but they all lack something. At night, I'd dream. Rearrange and change the episodes I watched until I was happy. My books are my dreams.

Your reaction when your book became successful?

It took me a month to get 1M so it was a slow reaction. At first, I was like, damn, I have 1K! That's so great! And then it got more and more and more. Everyday I wake up I still can't believe this is real. I have fans. I have thousands of people that read my book.

Your advice to the younger generation of writers?

Don't ask people to read your book or promote it. It's annoying to be honest. Don't write to get famous. Write what you want to read and update as much as you can. Views will follow with time.
