Wattpad Interviews [Closed]

minusfractions

How did you discover Wattpad?

I heard about Wattpad through a friend who wrote some fanfiction on here a while ago. It sounded like an interesting site, so I made an account.How long have you had Wattpad, and how often do you use it?

I have had my Wattpad account for 8 or 9 months, though until recently I didn't use it much, mainly due to me forgetting about it :s I now use it every week :)Is there a meaning behind your username?

Yes! I was with my friend one day in the school library while she was doing her maths homework. She turned to me and said "can you get minus fractions?" at which point I, in my highest and most annoying voice said 'minus fractions!' over and over again until she could have murdered me. Not long after that I made my deviantart account and it was the first thing that came to mind :)Why did you start writing? What age did you discover your love for it?

I discovered that I loved writing very early, from about the age of eight. I've always loved reading and writing, so I have spent a long time writing various different things. Who are you favourite authors? What are your favourite books? (Books on Wattpad count too!) What is your favourite genre?

My favourite genre by far is Science Fiction, though recently travel books and crime have also been appealing. I have quite a lot of favourite authors but a few are Terry Pratchett, Stephen King and George R R Martin. I have too many favourite books to count...

Do you want a career in writing?I would love a career in writing (If I could make a living off of it...)Who supports you the most in your writing?

My friend Daffodil :) she reads everything for me and give her honest opinion. She also nags me to write when I loose momentum :)

_________________________

Choose one of your books:What is your book called? What genre is it? What is it about (2/3 lines)?

My book is called "Do I want you to remember?" and it's a science fiction. It's about a woman going through the main character Cennek's memories that he has stored on a memory chip, to try and figure out why he chose to wipe all of his memory.What inspired you to write it?

I was just lazing around one night when the line "Echoing through the wearied, gentle town, the radio speaks." popped into my head. So I wrote the prologue as a one-off thing but then really began to like the character. After that, the ideas just kept on coming and so I kept on writing.How often do you update? When was it last updated?

I update every week on a Friday (or Thursday if I'm busy on a Friday). It was updated last Friday.

How long are your chapters? Do you think short or long chapters are better?My chapters are generally around four pages in a word document but it can vary. I think that long and short chapters both have their merits, so long as long chapters aren't dragged out and short chapters are short for a good reason (i.e. not because the writer can't be bothered).

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

I'm proud with whatever this story achieves, because I never really expected it to get any reads at all because I knew that the stories that were most popular were teen fiction stories.

Do you have any advice for new authors?Just write something. It doesn't matter what it is for the first draft. Then go over it, and if you want to (and have a willing friend) ask someone you know will give you the truth to read it and give you their opinion.

The plot for her book is amazing and really original. I love the whole concept of it and can't wait to read more.
