ACE AWARD SUPREME - INTERVIEWS

Fourth Place in Science Fiction, B1

1. What do you, as the writer of your works, like most about your book (placed) the most?

My favorite part of my book, Keystone, is the world it is set in. I really like how my world-building translated into the fantasy-like, unique setting shown in the story. Without this setting, I don't think the book would be worth reading.

2. What inspired/ continues to inspire you to write?

I wouldn't say I have a clear inspiration for my writing. I honestly can't answer this question.

3. How long have you been writing, and what was the first thing that drove you to start writing?

I have been writing for as long as I can remember but I only started writing on wattpad when I was 12, about three years ago. I started writing as a way to express myself and my creativity, but I started writing on wattpad because my friend encouraged me to.

4. Do you get writer's block frequently? If so, how to combat it?

I do get writer's block pretty often. To get rid of it I either work on a different chapter/ section of the story or I work on some more world and character building to come up with more ideas for how to keep things moving.

5. What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

I would tell aspiring writers to not work on a story if you don't enjoy writing it. Your writing will be so much better if you actually enjoy what you are doing. Also, even if you have put a lot of time and effort into one book, it's ok to completely start over with a new story.

6. Does you own writing reflect your own thoughts intimately or are you detached from extent?

I think that a lot of my writing reflects my views on the world and is based on things I have seen and lived through. However, the characters in my stories and their feelings are usually very different from my actual demeanor.

7. What are you other hobbies, besides writing? Why are they so?

One of my other main hobbies is painting because it is a good way for me to express myself visually. Another one of my main hobbies is gardening because I find it very peaceful and calming.
