1 what is one wattpad goal?

To Win a Wattys award. I think that would be most writers first step to success on Wattpad.


 2 What inspired you to write?

Reading the amazing work of some talented writers on Wattpad and just the diversity available.... inspired me to just stop overthinking it and have a go. And now, 18 months in, I'm so grateful that I did.


 3 How would you celebrate a publishing deal?

Ah! By thanking everyone who made it possible and then inviting as many of them as I could to have a drink with me! Though many Wattpad friends are no where near me at all! It's a team effort on Wattpad for sure.


 4 are you still surprised when you get a new vote, follower or comment? 

Absolutely! Everyday, every vote and comment is a blessing and I will never take it for granted. That's why I also make sure to return the favour when reading too. It makes a huge difference to the author to feel that people are actively involved.


5 What is a good piece of advice for a newcomer?

Stay true to your own voice. Don't try to alter your writing to suit others.


 6 What's the best way to handle a bully? 

On Wattpad- Mute abs report all bullying and trolls. Ambassadors are there for that very reason, to protect our Wattpad environment. Remember, the minimum age is 13 so it needs to be a safe haven.


7 What is your favorite book? 

hmmmm..... so many. I think right now, Shatter me by Tahereh Mafi. But it literally changes when I find another amazing read on Wattpad! I like to have a few reads in the go always.


8 what's your favorite movie?

I never pick a favourite movie but I do have a list of go to movies that I always return to, depending on the frame of mind I'm in! Same with books.


 9 What's your favorite holiday and why?

Christmas! As a mum, watching the kids get excited decorating and talking about Christmas and then hitting all new excitements levels on the day, Magic.


 10 How would you enjoy a rainy day

Reading and trying to draw myself out of a book to catch up on my own writing! I'm always stuck in a book and procrastinating my own work!


11 What is your favorite thing about Wattpad? 

Wattpad gives everyone the chance to be an author. And it's magic. The personal growth and satisfaction you get when you put your heat into something and then release it... is amazing. It's equally thrilling and daunting at the same time! But it's so much fun. And then you get to meet people from all over the world that have the same passion and it's just awe inspiring. I love it. I'm grateful for it everyday.

There are also bountiful opportunities within Wattpad that people have no clue about! Like being an ambassador. It's another glimpse into the huge hidden world on the other side of the app and there are some truly amazing people who work for Wattpad that keep the day to day things turning without anyone knowing. It's fun to be a tiny part of that.

I would love people to read How to choose the one. It's a slow burner because so much is going to happen, and people can sense it. It's a complicated mess waiting to happen! The characters are the right amount of sass and sexy and hopefully, it's as fun to read as it is to write.Also..... it may or may not be about my life......?!!!
