Q
As a writer do you prefer using a pen name or real name?
Why?
A
I use
my real name, so my writing is linked to myself directly.
Q
Which genre do you normally write? Are you comfortable
going out of your comfort zone?
A
I'll write any genre of poetry,
except erotica and fan fiction. I enjoy leaving my comfort zone and trying new
styles and forms.
Q
How old are you? Male or female?
A
I am a fifteen year old female.
Q
Do you like cats or dogs?
.
A
Cats.
Q
Tell me something about you that no one else knows.
A
When I am home alone and want to
write, I blare music and tape paper up on my walls. Then I dance around and
write on the paper.
Q
Are you married, dating, or single? If you’re married or
dating; have you ever cheated on your spouse or significant other? If you’re
single; do you like to play the field?
A
Dating, and never.
Q
Have you ever contemplated suicide? If so, why did you
feel that was your only option?
A
Nope. The thought has never crossed
my mind. Not directly, I suppose. Watching the ground from a tall building, I
think how much it would hurt if you were to jump off. Taking A Tylenol, I
wonder what would happen if you were to ingest maybe eight or so. But I've
never actually thought of myself doing it.
Q
Have you ever been in trouble in school? At work? At home?
A
But of course! No one can stay out of trouble.
Q
Did you have siblings growing up? If so, how many?
A
I have one younger brother.
Q
Did you have siblings later in life? If so, how many and
at what age did you get them? Were they adopted?
A
I
still only have that one brother, and I doubt I'll be getting any more
siblings.
Q
Where do you get your inspiration?
A
Anything and everything. Clouds, a sandwich, my friends.
Anything.
Q
How do your approach your writing? Are more OCD? Plan
everything out with outlines and what amounts to storyboards? Or do you just
fly by the seat of your pants and work everything out as it comes?
A
Well, writing novels, I believe it's best to write out your
plot beginning middle and end, so you don't get off topic. Novels are long
pieces, and it often happens. Poetry, though, I don't really do any planning.
Q
Do you like horror movies? Comedy? Pick your poison.
A
I love horror movies, just not too
gory. I like any kind of movies per se, but nothing too boring, gory, or
raunchy.
Q
Do you enjoy certain types of books, but like to write in
another genre? If so, why?
A
Well I've never actually finished a book. I've always trashed
them. The one I have posted on this site is the one I'm going to try to
continue. Like I said, I'll write in any genre except erotica and fan fiction.
I'm definitely going to try to not take my book down the typical frilly teenage
romance road, but it will have some romance in it. Really, it's a mixture of a
bunch of genres.
Q
What are you currently working on? Do you have any novels?
A
Poetry comes spontaneously to me. The only thing I'm steadily
working on right now is my novel, The
Very Best Of Friends.
Q
Anything else that you would like to say before we end?
A
Nothing that I can think of...
