Q
As a writer do you prefer using a pen name or real name?
Why?
A
I
prefer to use a pen name because it gives your book more mystery behind who the
author is and my writing is very personal to me. I also want the readers to see
my writing for itself rather than guessing and judging the book based off of
me.
Q
Which genre do you normally write? Are you comfortable
going out of your comfort zone?
A
I normally write romance or fantasy and I'm not
sure if I feel comfortable or uncomfortable about writing a different genre, it
has never interested me in doing so, so I never tried.
Q
How old are you? Male or female?
A
I'm 19 and a female
Q
Do you like cats or dogs?
A
I prefer dogs but I love them both
Q
Tell me something about you that no one else knows.
A
I
don't think there is anything that no one else knows about me but I have a hard
time letting things go because I'm never sure about how to act once an
unpleasant event occurs.
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 am dating, for almost a year now <3. I have
never and will never cheat. I believe that people who truly love each other
would not find it necessary to get together with another person.
Q
Have you ever contemplated suicide? If so, why did you
feel that was your only option?
A
This question is a bit personal but yes I have,
although I have never attempted it. If someone has never hit rock bottom then
it is hard for them to grasp the idea of feeling empty and broken. When you hit
that point you feel like there is no way out but luckily for me I was able to
press through my hard times. People don't wish to die but rather think of it as
a way to escape their pain but in the end you have to realize that life is an
uphill battle and that good things eventually happen to those who fight for it.
One of my favorite quotes is, "For the amount of pain you've suffered, you
will receive an equal amount of happiness in return."
Q
Have you ever been in trouble in school? At work? At home?
A
In trouble? I'm not sure what you mean by that. If
you mean have I ever been in trouble at all then of course. I'm not sure if
there is any kid out there who doesn't get themselves into trouble every once
in a while.
Q
Did you have siblings growing up? If so, how many?
A
I have two older brothers.
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 haven't acquired any new siblings haha but I am
adopted.
Q
Where do you get your inspiration?
A
I get my inspiration from everything honestly.
Sometimes from watching the news and sometimes from daydreaming. I usually draw
my inspiration from things that greatly impact my emotions. I feel like I write
best when something makes me emotional.
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
I try to have an idea of what big events I want to
happen within my story but I usually just go with the flow which is why I
usually take so long to write more of a story. I have been trying to outline my
stories and I feel lie it is extremely helpful and necessary to a writer but
they are extremely hard to do in my opinion.
Q
Do you like horror movies? Comedy? Pick your poison.
A
I
absolutely hate horror movies, they are just too gory. I would prefer a comedy
but I like watching movies that have unique plots.
Q
Do you enjoy certain types of books, but like to write in
another genre? If so, why?
A
I love reading the same genre that I love to
write, romance and fantasy, but I am more open to read different genres than I
am to write them I suppose
Q
What are you currently working on? Do you have any novels?
A
I am currently working on two non-fiction books.
One is called Inferno: The Curse which is a romance and fantasy story and the
other one is called Veil which is romance and it might become fantasy once I
decide what the overall plot should be.
Q
Anything else that you would like to say before we end?
A
I
enjoyed answering your questions and I am sorry that I responded to them so
late. I hope that you can use them. If you need anything else then feel free to
ask ^-^
