Author [@arios2004]

Welcome, everyone. Today we have the lovely arios2004

A big thank you to her for taking the time to answer these questions.

If you haven't read her books then please do. They're amazing...

Without further ado...

...

1. What inspired you to start writing?

   Tbh that is something I'm still trying to figure out. I used to hate writing like in school but one day someone recommended this app for me to read but as I kept reading other people's stories, I guess I felt inspired to write my own and that's what I did.

2. Did you have any writers' block along the way? how did you get past them?

I get writer's block ALL the time. It's why some of my stories haven't been updated in months. Usually, when I get writer's block it's for one story and maybe for a whole fandom. When that happens to start to write for another book or a fandom. Usually, I get the inspiration back out of nowhere. Other times, I don't. It's kinda why I have so many stories. I have writer's block for one story so I make another  

3. Do you see yourself in any characters and why?

I think there's a small part of my own personality in all my characters but the one most like me is probably my legacies OC Valerie. Like her, I'm cast into the shadow of other siblings and constantly compared to them, despite being completely different  

4. How old are you?

I'm fifteen now, but I'm about to turn sixteen next month! 

5. How old were you when you started writing?

I was in the eighth grade I'm pretty sure. 

6. Can you remember what you felt when you first started writing? what did you feel?

I was awful at it because I wasn't used to it yet. I'd just do it here and there to have something to do but it did give me an escape from my dysfunctional life (which I still feel now) It kinda relaxed me even if that sounds weird. 

7. What's your outside life like?

Most people view me as an extrovert because I'm loud, outgoing, and talkative but as much as I may have a social life at times, I prefer staying at home. 

8. Where do you get your ideas from?

They honestly randomly pop into my head at the most random times. then I write them down and sometimes I make them into books, other times I don't 

9. What do you like to do when you're not writing?

Read, binge watch a show and hang out with friends 

10. What does your family think about your writing?

They know I write and they constantly ask about it but I never tell them what I write and I definitely don't show it to them 

11. What do you think makes a good story?

A good plot and a character that has depth and actual personality and flaws with development. 

12. What's your favourite genre?

Mystery and books that take place in a different time period.

13. Do you write on wattpad or do you use software (like Microsoft word)?

I usually write right on wattpad but it's when it's having one of the moments where it's getting all messed up I go write on google docs. I also plan all my stories on google docs too  

14. What's the hardest part for you to write, and why?

Probably big romantic scenes. I make them too cheesy sometimes and they come out cringy and horrible 

15. Do you work on an outline or just go with the flow?

I usually work with an outline but that just makes out the basics. I'll write a ton of other stuff within the chapters I plan out 

16. Do you have anything specific you want to say to readers?

What I want to say to my readers and thank you so much for taking the time to read my stories. I am always so shocked by how many reads and votes I get cuz honestly, most of my stories suck. I appreciate all of you so much!!!

17. And lastly, Do you have any advice for new writers.

no matter what, keep writing and update frequently! If you keep writing, you'll get better and better with practice
