Meet the Authors Edition #1 (Nov 2017 To July 2018)

Interview #2 @ChasingMadness24

1 What's your favorite holiday and why?

My favorite holiday would probably be Christmas. This is because for years I would travel to visit family during Christmas time.

2 What's your daily writing routine like?

My daily writing routine is actually a little complicated. Since I'm homeschooled (for the time being, won't be in August) I have a lot of school to do, then my working out, then finally at night between about 8-12 I'm able to get some writing done. Sometimes I can during the day, but it's rare.

3 What's your favorite movie?

Titanic

4 Do you have any other creative outlets?

I do a lot of graphic designing and song writing, and occasionally draw.

5 If you could gain advice from your favorite author, who would you and what would you ask?

I would ask Cassandra Clare, author of The Mortal Instruments among various other incredible novels. I'd ask her exactly what it is that helps her piece together her novels to create such masterpieces.

6 How would you celebrate a publishing deal?

I would celebrate a publishing deal, first by celebrating it here on Wattpad. This would mean free graphics all day, giveaways, among a ton of other things. Then I'd probably dance around the room and buy myself a frozen yogurt

7 What's one tip you'd pass to a newcomer?

Write for YOU. Yes, you heard me. It may seem like it's best to write what you think everyone else wants to read, but the most important key to being any sort of successful author is to write for YOU and put yourself in the readers shoes. This will help with writer's block as well.

8 If you could hang out with your favorite celeb for a day, who would you choose and what would you do?

If I could hang out with my favorite celeb for a day it'd either be Leonardo DiCaprio or Cassandra Clare. Leo, because he's an incredible person at heart, an activist for animal and human rights, and a great actor. Cassie, because she's one of the best writers I've read and it'd be an honor to be in her company. I would be okay with doing anything honestly, as long as we were able to talk.

9 How would you spend a rainy day?

I would likely write all I can haha

10 What's your favorite book?

Mmm, my favorite book would probably be Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver (read it long before the movie was even a wink in anyone's eye) and favorite series would be The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare.

11 How would you handle a bully?

See, each person has their own story. Bullies are insecure people with a story that just can't face on their own. They decide it's best to lash out and be a bully because more times than not, it's how they are/once were treated or how they feel on the inside. I would deal with one by first confronting them calmly, and if that didn't work, talk to a trusted adult about the situation at hand before it could get out of control.

Request time!

If I were going to suggest any of my books to readers, I'd say Puck. It's an emotional ride of depression, anxiety, and the feeling of not being accepted. I feel a lot of people will be able to relate to it in one way or another and it touches on topics that are sadly broadcasted in pop culture these days such as school shootings.
