1 what inspired you to write?
A combination of things, really. I enjoyed creative writing classes I took awhile ago. I'm also an avid reader, and would fall in love with books, but I'd also be like, "what if this happened instead? What if these two characters got together? What if they made some other choice?" So one day, I decided to write my own story instead, with the decisions *I* would've made. Then I became addicted to it when I realized I could weave in my own pain, my own experiences, the topics that are important to me... I could make people listen without them realizing they were even listening.
2 what's your schedule regarding your writing?
I'm messy and don't have a schedule. Anytime I'm not working or sleeping, I'm writing, trying to write, or talking to people about writing on the forums or in my Discord server. My update schedule is just as messy - I update once a week, but the day it will be is a mystery!
3 what's your favorite holiday and why?
Thanksgiving! I love to eat, and Thanksgiving has the best food. Who doesn't love turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie?!
4 what's a song you enjoy? Who is the artist?
This is a really hard one because I love music and can't pick just one song. I'll go with "Peaches" by Grandson featuring K. Flay. The chorus says, "we'll turn our pain into peaches" and that's kind of my motto for life.
5 Are you still surprised when you get a new vote, follow or comment?
I wouldn't say surprised at this point anymore, but I am grateful and it puts a huge smile on my face! I can't respond to everyone who follows or votes, but I do respond to as many comments, wall posts, and messages that I possibly can!
6 how would you spend a rainy day?
WRITING! And READING! I'm looking out the window right now and it looks like it's going to rain. Fingers crossed!
7 if you could hang out with your favorite celeb for a day, who would you choose and what would you do?
I'm honestly not big into celebrities, but I'd probably pick Iliza Shlesinger. She's a hilarious comedian, and laughing is the best medicine, and she's a feminist!
8 what's your favorite thing about Wattpad?
Definitely the community and interacting with people. I love being able to have conversations in the comments section of my books, I love getting messages and wall posts, I just love it all.
9 what's your favorite snack?
NACHOS!
10 if you could gain advice from your favorite author, who would you choose and what would you ask?
I would choose Chuck Palahniuk (I know, weird, right? I mostly write romance but Chuck is my favorite), and I would ask him how he's able to come up with such bizarre, twisted ideas. And then, how he's able to weave together an entire story around one crazy idea? I just don't get how that man's mind works!
11 what's one Wattpad goal?
I would love to be "Wattpad famous"! I'd like for people to know my name and my books. I'd like for my readers to want to read anything I wrote, simply because I wrote it. I want a ginormous Wattpad family! ❤️

The story I'd like to mention is my newest ongoing story called "Distortion". It's about a woman who is in an abusive relationship, but she isn't quite ready to come to terms with that. She discovers a clinic that offers to seamlessly implant artificial memories as a way to remember experiences without ever having lived them. And even though this clinic is advertised for entertainment purposes, she sees it as a quick fix to wipe just the bad memories of her relationship and replace them with something better. Of course, the problem is how do you recover from your trauma if you keep choosing to forget it?
