Meet The Authors edition #9 (March 2022 to the November 2023)

interview #2 @Nyhterides (profile)

1 What type of stories do you have on your profile?

Mostly dark stuff. I have a handful of other genres, too.

2 When did you join Wattpad?

June 2013. A decade ago!

3 What is something you've come to learn about writing, while you've been on Wattpad?

I've learned a lot. I've toned down my wild OTT descriptions (I still have a lot of descriptions, they just aren't everywhere) and I edit a lot better now, as well.

4 What do you believe is important to have when creating a Wattpad profile?

What catches my eye is an interesting bio and both background picture and user pic. 

5 Do you think you should rush to publish stories on your profile, when you first join Wattpad?

 I published poetry right away. If you want to publish something, go for it!

 6 What is your current story update routine?

 I try to post 2-3 times a week. It's not always possible because I work and have a toddler.  

7 Is there anything you would've changed to your profile when you first joined Wattpad?

 Yes and no. My username, which is a Greek word. Yes, because it's a pain to spell and I see random versions of it when people write it! No, because it's an important part of why I began posting.

 8 Do you believe it is better to have a short or long bio section on your profile? 

 I enjoy the mid to longer bios. 

9 When you're on Wattpad, what is something you notice first on fellow Wattpad writer's profile?

Apart from the bio and pics, the first three stories they've shared.

10 What do you believe is important to include in the bio section of your profile?

A bit of info about the writer is always interesting. It doesn't have to be anything personal.

11 What are some suggestions you would share to fellow writer's about creating/maintaining a Wattpad profile?

It's like a garden. If you leave it for ages, it wilts. You need to keep watering it. And by watering I mean posting stories/poems and sharing stuff in the Conversations bit.
