Meet The Authors Edition #5 (Sept. 2019 to March 2020)

interview #28 @PenNameCrystalVibe

1 what's one of your favorite books?

One of my favourite books, that's hard because I have so many! But right now, I would have to say my favourite book is either Southern Saturday Nights by @halloon23 , Journey To Joseph by @rhymeswithfry or More To Life by @Voyageavecmoi (all on Wattpad). My list of books is way too long.

2 what inspired you to write?

I've loved writing since 4th grade at school when we were doing narratives, but what inspired me to write on Wattpad was reading lots of books.

3 what's your schedule regarding your writing?

I update whenever I feel like I can post a chapter. I tried having a schedule (i believe it may still be up in my bio) but that didn't work, too much pressure.

4 what's a good piece of advice for a newcomer?

The industry saying of "Your first book is always shit" is billshit. Your first DRAFT will always be shitty, (let's face it, your just jotting ideas down) because that version of the story is you getting to know your characters and story. Just keep writing, don't care what anyone says. You know what you want from your story and YOU are your own worst critic.

5 if you could hang out with your favorite celeb for a day, who would you choose and what would you do?

I don't know? I don't really have favourite celebs either. Can't help you here!

6 what's your favorite snack?

I really like brown rice cakes and cheese. It's simple, healthy and delicious. 

7 what's your favorite thing about Wattpad?

Not a lot right now really, there are so many issues with their coding.

But when I first joined I loved the idea of being able to connect with writers who had similar interests to myself.

8 if you could gain advice from your favorite author, who would you choose and what would you ask?

Again, favourite author is hard. I can't choose one, but I would ask how hard it was for them to become who they are today. Like what was their journey like creating books for the higher ups.

9 what's your favorite holiday and why?

Meh, i don't have a favourite, they're all as boring as each other.

10 Are you still surprised when you get a new vote, follow or comment?

Of course! It's great to know that someone somewhere liked my story.

11 what's the best way to handle a bully?

Ignore them and ask them to stop. If that doesn't work, tell someone (preferably older) and if that doesn't work.....deck 'em in the face.

Request time!

I would prefer not to do a shameless promo. But anyone can feel free to check out my account and if any of my stories sound interesting, give em a read!
