Q
As a writer do you prefer using a pen name or real name?
Why?
A
I prefer to use my real name because people will know
my real name and not a class one. It also gives me the ability to be myself
completely. However on this site I use a pen name for Internet safety.
Q
Which genre do you normally write? Are you comfortable
going out of your comfort zone?
A
To tell you the
truth I don't write any particular genre unless generic fiction counts. I'll write
anything except for non-fiction and I'll write it in any genre whether it be
action/adventure or the supernatural/occult.
Q
How old are you? Male or female?
A
I'm fourteen and I'm a female.
Q
Do you like cats or dogs?
.
A
Dogs by far, though
I love kittens. Kittens are different from cats because they are small, cute,
and a lot more fun.
Q
Tell me something about you that no one else knows.
A
Something that no
one else knows? That's a hard one but I think I've got one. Nobody knows that I
have a lot of things to say about topics we discuss in class because I never
speak up. Or if you don't like that one nobody except for my friends knows that
I'm not just the brainiac in the school, I do have a fun personality.
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
I'm single and no I
don't really "play the field" as you put it. I mean I'll look to see
if there's anyone good but I won't ever engage them in a conversation.
Q
Have you ever contemplated suicide? If so, why did you
feel that was your only option?
A
I've never thought
about suicide, though I did say that I was to be dramatic and get the attention
of my parents.
Q
Have you ever been in trouble in school? At work? At home?
A
I've never gotten into trouble at school and
don't have a job so that's out of the question. I've gotten in trouble at home;
everybody does, but was never anything too serious.
Q
Did you have siblings growing up? If so, how many?
A
I have one
sister.
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 have one sister and she was born a year and a half after me.
Q
Where do you get your inspiration?
A
Really my inspiration comes from all over the
place: things people say, songs, things I see, etc. In fact the inspiration
behind my current novel came from a black marble and a white marble.
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
Depends on how I feel about the story.
Sometimes I'll write an outline while other times I'll jump headfirst into the
story I'm telling. Though I'm not sure which way works better for me.
Q
Do you like horror movies? Comedy? Pick your poison.
A
I love movies that
have a mix of comedy, romance, action, and adventure. It's got to have all that
to make it on my favorite movies list.
Q
Do you enjoy certain types of books, but like to write in
another genre? If so, why?
A
I enjoy every type of book except for
non-fiction, poetry, and realistic fiction. However I like to write really bad
poetry because it helps me to vent my feelings. Typically I wrote any type of
book and the writing often stems from the books I'm reading.
Q
What are you currently working on? Do you have any novels?
A
I'm currently working on three different novels
however one of those three I don't think I'll be able to complete. My most
recent project would be my novel "Soul Bound" which is still in the
writing stage.
Q
Anything else that you would like to say before we end?
A
I dream of becoming a Bestselling author one
day and I constantly come up with random ideas for them. Also the two people
that have inspired me the most in life are my mom and my seventh grade language
arts teacher.
