Author Interviews

Interview with @sweater-paws

1) Where did you find out about Wattpad and when did you create your account?

I don't remember, honestly. I think it was 2013 when I found out about it. Maybe through Twitter? Not sure. I created my account about a year ago but I don't remember when because I forgot.

2) At what age did you start to show an interest in writing?

I started writing this year and I was so bad like vERY VERY BAD, hideous. I wanted to try to do something new and all and I started writing because there was this english project in school and they let the students make a mystery short story and that's where I think that hey, maybe I could try writing a story on this website and I did.

3) Do you feel pressure to update due to the amount of readers you have?

I do like 24/7 because of school and because I'm on writers block most of the time and I also struggle to make it funny because I'm like reallyyyyyy boring but yeah!

4) Who would you say is your biggest inspiration as a writer?

Veronica Roth. Her books were the reason why I kept reading novels until now (so I can have inspiration to write) because before her I read very thin books for like kindergarten kids I'm so embarrassing :-) Her writing is just brilliant. The Divergent Trilogy was just amazing and I love her.

5) Do you have a favorite out of the books you've written?

I'm co writing this story with @bless5sos and it's called Baby Daddy and I love it to be honest. It's a little bit kinky and its a Lashton fanfic but it's so fun to write because they both have a very unique personality and I like how it goes for now :-)

6) What is your greatest challenge as a writer?

To find inspiration and to write with big words, honestly. Like I said, I'm on writers block most of the time. And also, English isn't my mother and tongue so every time I see a word I don't know the meaning of I have to define it and sigh, it bothers me that I don't know that word because English is hard oKAY. The grammar and vocabulary and all makes me wanna punch myself in the head but I love English! I don't know what I'm talking sometimes.

7) How has writing affected your life?

It's like something I do for fun and I think I've learnt a lot about proper grammar, vocabulary, writing, and about having conversations and other stuffs. By reading you can improve your language too, and by writing you can challenge yourself to see if you've really made progress in it and not just learn it. You have to do it too.

8) How do you cope with your up and coming popularity?

I don't think I'm popular. There are A LOT of other amazing writers that has more recognition than me. When I started to write texting and then I got 50K reads I was so pumped! Like wow!! 50000 PEOPLE IS READING MY STORY WOW I JUST HAVE TO PLEASE THEM WITH MY WRITING AND NOT DISAPPOINT THEM. I just wanna please my readers

9) Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?

So, when I started writing I managed to ask claryvette about this and she just said to keep writing and I did. Here I am. And one more thing! READ! R E A D! R E A D !!!!!! It's important

10) Is there anything you would like to say to your fans/ supporters?

Umm I don't know if I have fans or supporters but I just wanna say a massive thank you if you read or vote or comment on my crappy stories and just keep doing what you're doing, okay! Thank you thank you thank you
