Who is your favorite author?
Sarah Dessen
Do you see yourself still writing in the future?
I see myself writing but only as a hobby, not professionally or anything.
What was your reaction when you first hit over 1 million reads? How did you feel?
I was really happy. I think I reached it when I was writing Lay Me Down. It's the most popular story I've written on wattpad.. I was definitely happy with its success.
Is there anything specific you did to have your stories become so popular? If not, why do you think it did so well?
I didn't do much but continue to write. Like I said Lay Me Down is when I really became popular.
Is there a writer on Wattpad, or an author in general, who influenced your style of writing?
No one influenced my style but I do have some fav authors on wattpad
Can you relate to any of the characters in your stories. If so, who and in what ways?
Not really. I'm not like characters in my story. I don't base my characters off my own personality or characteristics
Did you ever imagine your stories would become so popular?
At first no, I still don't really see how they are that popular.. I think my writing is just run of the mill. It's not great to me.
How did you find about this website [Wattpad]?
I joined this website in like 2010 and I found it while trying to look up some info for a book report for school and I found this book called me+him=impossible and I've been hooked every since
Do you have any advice for up and coming wattpad writers?
Don't give up on writing. If no one reads it's okay. Some of the best books I have read on wattpad have few readers. Also write what you truly want to write about.. don't write about wants trending or popular.
