Ask Me Anything!

Question From @mylesnielsen24

As an aspiring author myself I understand that you breathe through your characters lungs and see through there eyes. But how do you pull yourself out of it and not let them start the take up every possible piece of your thinking brain? I know sometimes I get caught in the characters world and forget that I am alive, do your haventhe same feelings? Xx

 

I find having an "Off" activity helps. A lot of people with varying degrees of exciting or stressful jobs have the same problem. It's hard to turn off the things inside your head sometimes, especially when you're enjoying it.

For me, it's episodes of Judge Judy. For my husband, it's video games. Find something to distract your brain for a little bit when you get done writing, and then try to move onto your next activity. It doesn't work all the time, but it helps.

 

Your books are incredible no denying that but how did you become so famous? And was it through Wattpad? I kno2 I may seem desperate and to tell you the truth I am. Becuase if I don't become a writer I literally have no idea what I will become xx

 

I started self-publishing a little over years ago, and my books took off. A year later, I signed up with my publisher. I've published over fifteen books, and some of them have been on the New York Times bestseller list. I joined Wattpad to better connect with readers and have a place for excerpts and short stores in the worlds of my published books.
