Wattpad Interviews [Closed]

aishalam

How did you discover Wattpad?

Well It was a summer not long ago that I wandered into this fair land...umm seriously I really don't remember *shrugs* Even though its not been that long but still..

How long have you had Wattpad, and how often do you use it?

Hmm, I believe I've been on here a few months. Wait isn't it written somewhere on your profile? Wait let me go check....yeah it has been four months to be exact and how often do I sit? Everyday I believe.

Is there a meaning behind your username?

Not really my username is actually just my mother's name

Why did you start writing? What age did you discover your love for it?

Hmm again, I believe its pretty hard to pin point the exact moment in time. I loved reading from a very young age, most of my family members being avid readers. But as to when I started writing... I don't know, probably around the time I had the operation for my clubs foot. I started writing because it was a way to express myself but above all, writing and books to me is a way to exist in non existence and its also something that brings people together. I owe so much to writers who belong to different regions of the world and spoke different languages. Yet they have molded me, made me who I am today and I thank them everyday.

Who are you favorite authors? What are your favorite books? (Books on Wattpad count too!) What is your favorite genre?

My favorite genre would be historical fiction and fantasy. Favorite book? Well they are so many but if I had to chose a favorite, it would definitely be one of Jane Austen's novels.

Do you want a career in writing?

No, not really. I write for myself as a sort of thing I like to do when I'm free.I always wanted to be an ambassador so lets see how that works out.

Who supports you the most in your writing?

Well my parents of course. And my amazing friends have always played a part in my works too. They have always supported me and really no one could ask for better family and friends

________________________________

Choose one of your books:

What is your book called? What genre is it? What is it about (2/3 lines)?

As stated above its called "Of Blood And Bracelets".The genre would be action but because of a few elements in it,I would say that it would fit in fantasy.Well basically its about 5 friends and their adventures.How they come across five bracelets which change their lives forever.Well in the course of the first book they come across Eric Sinclair(the male lead)As a good protagonist he saves the five girls and most properly a few of them fall head over heels for him but of course that is not the main focus.The main theme would be friendship.

What inspired you to write it? 

A number of things.My friends were the inspiration for the five girls in the book and of course they lent their personalities to the characters as well..so yeah without them the book wouldn't probably exist.

How often do you update? When was it last updated?

I try to update once every week but due to exams I haven't been able to for the past two weeks.The thing is I have the story all planned out but I being me, am wayyy too lazy...so yeah it doesn't take that much time if I'm in the mood.

How long are your chapters? Do you think short or long chapters are better?

Fairly long, 2 pages sometimes more. Yes, I prefer longer chapters.

Are you proud of how well your book has done? Are you happy with the amount of reads it has?

At the present actually I am.I really didn't think that people would even give it a chance but it has done well enough for me and I am happy.

Do you have any advice for new authors? 

Advice? Well, um, always write what you want to read cause there is a quote that I love it goes somewhat like this:"If there is a book that you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."

Yeah and always be true to who you are. Don't pretend and above all, always be proud of what you have done.

She is a new writer and her books have good story lines, although an editor wouldn't go a miss. Apart from that, she has lots of potential and her book is worth reading.
