Along with her two completed stories she also has four stories she's writing consisting of Room 'Mates' (Narry/BoyXBoy), Lose Control (One Direction), Narry Storan One Shots, and Guardian Angel (Narry). The authors hundreds of followers, and thousands of reads are no surprise considering the amazing talent heystoran has. I myself was lucky enough to be able to interview the fantastic writer and here's what she said.
Q: Hello love! :) How are you today?
A: Eh, could be better. Thanks for asking :)
Q: What made you start writing?
A: Well, the first slash fic I ever read was a Peeta/Gale Hunger Games fic, and I really liked it. I started liking One Direction as well and it slowly progressed until I started shipping Niam. So I found this Niam story on Wattpad and made an account to keep up with it. Then I just had all these ideas for stories and I began!
Q: How did you come up with the idea for your first story?
A: I was inspired from my first 1D slash story and what was currently going on in my life.
Q: Any inspirations?
A: My biggest inspirations here on Wattpad are TheWayYouLookTonight, zaynsmybloke and LarryAndZiall. They're all super nice and lovely writers. I especially love LarryAndZiall because of her inspirig story.
Q: Is there a story behind your username? Why did you choose it?
A: Haha, yes! Storan is the last name of the ship Narry which is my OTP. I think heystoran just looks nice on a screen!
Q: What is writing to you?
A: Writing is like art, except you use words to create every little emotion and the depth of life. When I read I'm so intrigued by whatever words the author chooses to describe a setting. I like to relate experiences in stories I read with experiences I have in real life.
Q: How do you deal with writer's block?
A: Honestly, I'll just read other stories or go to a list I made of a bunch of scenarios I like of Harry and Niall. I listen to music, walk around the house or the neighborhood. Something as small as the weather can spark an idea for me.
Q: Do you write anything other than stories? (Poems, Songs, etc.)
A: I do write songs and poems. I like to sing and write songs especially. Other than that, not really.
Q: How often do you write?
A: On Wattpad, my fans know that I'm slow with updates. But it's because I'm just going through some stuff right now. So I post semi-often, but write down ideas at least a couple times a day.
Q: Any advice for other writers?
A: This might be a weird piece of advice but it definitely helps me write out detail. Whenever I'm alone I just kind of close my eyes and take in what I feel; weather/temperature, state of being, how the setting makes me feel, what I feel with my hands, how I'm positioned. Then I open my eyes and just scatter my eyes across the location. It's a bit odd but it helps me pick up on every detail. Also, never stop writing and never give up with your stories. If you're in the middle of a story and you think it's bad, keep going because it helps you realize what you need to fix. I look back at my old work and say "What the hell was I thinking?"
