Yes, I'm allowed to interview myself...
1. Do you use an alias or your real name when you write? Why?
I use my real name.
At first I was petrified of putting it out there, but as soon as I realised that you have to be able to take the bad with the good in this industry, it didn’t matter anymore. So what if people don’t enjoy my writing? Anyone who doesn’t enjoy my writing – please don’t comment. :) Hahaha
2. How old are you?
I’m 26, which, in Wattpad terms, means ancient.
3. What inspired you to write your book?
A very badly written work of fiction by a well known author - if she can do it, anyone can.
4. How do you come up with your titles?
I usually take a phrase or word relevant to the book and voila.
5. Who designs your covers?
I do. I’m yet to find someone that will blow my mind. Any suggestions?
6. How did you make your story so popular?
Patience: If you write it, they will read it (eventually).
7. Do you write an outline for your book before you start to write?
Yes, but I’m not very good at sticking to it. I always think ‘that would go great in there’ or steal things from other stories I have in my supply.
8. What do you think makes good writing?
Good (GREAT) Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation. I sit with a dictionary and if I really don’t know something, I'll consult my trusty assistant (Google).
9. How do you deal with writer’s block?
I just write anything that comes to mind, even if it doesn’t relate to my story. Eventually I come up with something good that puts me on the right track again.
10. Do you have a favourite line from something you’ve written so far?
Yip from my poem, Necromancer:
Lost in the echo of my plea –
Don’t go, don’t go away from me.
11. Are there any Wattpad writers that have your attention?
Han_Man, check out his videos on Youtube – he’s awesome!
12. How alike/different are you and your main character?
Besides the fact that she’s a vampire, rich and super hot. We have very similar characteristics.
13. Do you have any advice for fellow writers?
Write like your life depends on it.
