Joy a.k.a @joymoment

So I will describe our guest today in Taboo words and you know your job people...

1. A sucker for good action flix, she gives a good choke slam to all the cliche Knight in Shining Armor stories.

2.She is in a love hate relationship with ice cream and has a toy poodle.

3. Has an obsession of greeting her readers with weird ways of saying hello.

4. Is found wherever the WiFi is available.

Oh yes, you are right it is our beloved joymoment

Me: Hey!

Joy: Wacka doodle!

Me: Uhmm... What?

Joy: Sorry, you know that obsession...

Me: Ohhh yeah! Of course I do know.
<whispering> What did I tell you guys?

Anyway, let's start the interview.

Me: Tell us something about yourself.

Joy: I am Joy Jenkins. I grew up in an artistic family of ten. We were the type of family who wrote our own plays and musicals and put them on in the backyard.

Me: Ok that tells us about your writing.

How did you get the motivation to write?

Joy: My sister Grace was actually the one who got me into writing and the one who has kept me in my writing. She started writing a story for a friend of mine who was on his Mormon mission and that inspired me to write as well. Now the moment I've finished a chapter I send it off to her and she's the first one who reads it.

Me: A huge thanks to Grace for doing that.
How did you get to know about Wattpad?

Joy: Grace was the one who knew about Wattpad way back in 2011. It wasn't until we started really writing books in 2016 that we decided to post our work on the site.

Me: Grace, I love you! Seriously!
It is said that books are somehow related to us. Is it true in your case?

Joy: Hahaha, yes and no. My characters are bigger than life type people and I'm not. But they do have bits of me in them. Elliot has a bit of my insecurities, Gigi has my love of horses, Amelia has my love of the Flash. Those are just pieces but on the whole my characters are very much their own people. ☺️

Me: ☺️☺️
Ok, I seriously want to know this. How do you manage your busy schedule along with writing?

Joy: Habit. I've made of habit out of writing an hour a day so even if my days are crazy I still find the time to do it.

Me: Ohh man... I am going to try this. I miss writing on Wattpad. 😣
Who is your favorite writer on and off Wattpad?

Joy: My favorite writer is
Claire-Merle. She's amazing and her writing is simply stunning.

Me: So I am going to tag her here so she gets to know how much we love her. Claire-Merle We love you ♥️♥️

Tell us something fun and something distinctive about you.

Joy: Fun? I dance while I cook because I don't like to cook and so to make the whole experience better, I dance.
