1) "Name?"

Marissa Green

2) "Age?"

18 (19 on the 24th of April!)

(OMG We are birthday buddies!!!)

3)" What are your hobbies?"

Outside of writing, I love reading, needlework, watching films, and baking!

4) "When did you start writing and why?"

I started writing seriously in about 5th grade. I never found myself particularly passionate about writing, though I loved reading. Then one day, I wrote a poem and received praise for it. It was so foreign to me at the time and I spent a lot of my time from then on out writing, writing, writing!

5) "Which was your first story generally?"

I was (still am) obsessed with One Direction and was a Louis girl through-and-through. However, the first story I wrote was actually a random Liam fan fiction that generally had no storyline. It was kind of like a soap opera where there were all these mini-dramas every few chapters that were resolved almost immediately.

6) "Do you write in some other website except Wattpad?"

I recently was accepted to write on Radish! My username is marissa.green and my story is entitled "Lilac Summers". It's Dead Flowers with different names and dates, basically. And written a bit better!

7) "What has given you motive to keep on writing?"

I feel really motivated by images and sounds. I draw a lot of inspiration from films and music, most notably Ain't Them Bodies Saints (film) and a lot of Rolling Stones/Harry Styles songs.

8 )"Have you ever wanted to give up everything? (writing I mean)"

I have--many times. Writing is never easy and in my opinion, if you think it's easy, you're not working hard enough. I frequently look back on my freshman year in high school when I was deciding between pursuing a writing career or teaching career, as I'm very passionate about children. I was so tired of the advice everyone gave me when I told them my choices. "Write children's books!" "Writing will probably just be a hobby." But then I met an old woman named Eleanor through a program in my school. She was a retired English teacher. Our project was to interview them and then write a memoir-like essay for them. When I told her of my choices, she smiled, looked down at what I wrote her and then immediately said, "You're a writer."

9) "Which is your favorite story on Wattpad?"

My favorite story on Wattpad has got to be I Sleep Naked by uniquelyxlarry or Fine China by yumharryy. They're so intricate and heartfelt.

10) "Have you gained any friendship from Wattpad? If yes, which are your Wattpad friends?"

I used to be much more social and active on here and had a very best friend named akinoreV0707. I also love hastagraura!

11) "Do you relate with any of your characters from your books? If yes, which one and which characteristics are similar?"

Jane is truly like my child. She is my most-developed, three-dimensional, dynamic character. I relate with her struggle to be independent but also wanting to be loved deeply. I also loosely based her physical appearance on myself.
