Interviews With Wattpad Authors

Interview With Dreamerse

I interviewed Dreamerse next, who wrote the story His. I've read it nearly twenty times now and I knew that I had to interview her when I had the chance. His currently has over 3 million reads. So, here's the interview:

Do you have any advice for up and coming Wattpad writers?
Advice? I'm not the best at advice but I'll hit you with my best shot:) basically, write what the people want to read, you need to think about others rather than yourself, you need to be really thingy about that. If you like stories about paranormal activity, that's great, and it may get you a lot of reads, but if you want loads, it's always teen fiction and romance. Don't be afraid to be cliche and cheesy either, sometimes originality can be bad, even though it's amazing most of the time. You need good grammar and so on so fourth, and you definitely need to be good and passionate at what you do. Also PROMOTE PROMOTE PROMOTE! Keep the readers interested and the reads coming in. If your book doesn't go far in the end, you're still fab, and you should be proud for writing even a little bit of a story if you don't complete it. Stay positive anyway:)

How did you find out about Wattpad?
My friend told me about it, she knew I like to read and she said you could write stories too and I thought, why not? Best decision ever:)

Did you ever expect that your stories would get so popular?
Well, no, like I'm a girl from Britain who sits at home every night with a silly routine which consists of eating, listening to music, reading and laying in bed for the whole evening. Of course I didn't think myself in a position where I actually achieved something even as little or as big as this. I'm just your average teenage girl, if your with me, holla baby, you know how it feels:)

Can you relate to any of your characters?
I don't really relate to any characters, I usually relate them to who I think and to the people who surround me on a daily basis. I'd rather base my characters on other people rather than myself, it's more of a challenge and it's a great way to really grasp your friends and family;)

Have any authors influenced your style of writing?
Would it be weird if I said the writers of bared to you and this man? Well, those stories are my favourite and well, their writing and the way they portrayed their characters definitely made an effect on me:)

Did you do anything specific to have your stories become so popular?
Oh god, well, I promoted it on my old story and others. I told people about it and things, and mostly I think it's about what the story is about. If you've got a good story going, even by the beginning, the story will go far because people talk:) just promote and hope to the heavens people read read read:)

What was your reaction when you hit one million reads?
Well I had hit 1 million before, so this time again really shocked me. I did this for fun knowing no one knew about this, but now it just became so serious and all the reads were flooding in and I was almost amazed. I was definitely a happy gal;)

What inspired you to write His?
Hmmm, this is a hard one. I have another wattpad account and my story on there got 1 million views but all my friends knew about that account and I wanted to write a story which no one of my friends knew about so I just thought about it and thought about what I would like and enjoy in a story and sort of went from there. I guess comments on my old wattpad account helped me and inspired me to do that and to improve:)

Who's your favorite author?
Well, I'm not quite sure. I have loads of authors I really like and I enjoy reading their books, but I don't just have one, I believe many authors are great at what they do and are equally inspirational:)
