1) "Name?"

Rachel.

2) "Age?"

I am 19 (soon to be 20 in two months!)

3)" What are your hobbies?"

Writing (of course), making playlists for literally every possible situation on earth, and baking.

4) "When did you start writing and why?"

It’s my eight year anniversary on wattpad this October so I’ve been writing on here for quite a while. I started writing in middle school when I knew I could make better endings for the utter trash was back on wattpad in 2011. That was such a bad time to be reading on here, yikes.

5) "Which was your first story generally?"

This is in direct response to my last answer because I was part of the trash on wattpad like seven years ago. I was a hardcore 1D stan but I was still self conscious about it in school to my friends, so I had a really messy Zayn book called Save Me Tomorrow and it’s super embarrassing to think about now. But without finishing that, I wouldn’t never known that I loved writing.

6) "Do you write in some other website except Wattpad?"

Mainly outside of wattled I used to post my work on Tumblr before the website started declining. I posted one story on FanFiction.net and another one on AO3. I also do article writing for clubs and programs through my college.

7) "What has given you motive to keep on writing?"

I want to make a career out of expressing my thoughts and imagination to everyone else, and that rush I get when I writing about a character is unmatched.

8 )"Have you ever wanted to give up everything? (writing I mean)"

Yes, a couple of years agol I was at a low point in my life and just gave up writing for a while after going on a month long trip where I had no access to WiFi and I just wrote. After that, I took an eight month break from writing creatively until one of my friends forced me to join a writing program and I started writing my “first” real story Babylon, which was a Harry fic.

9) "Which is your favorite story on Wattpad?"

This is hard, because I feel like I swapped out my favorites every couple of months. Top Five: (in no particular order)

-Lemonade & Malik by @CHIEFKEEFS -Ribs by @pacifyherafi
-Pusher by @Jewlez
-strippers by @charismatize

10) "Have you gained any friendship from Wattpad? If yes, which are your Wattpad friends?"

Sadly, I used to be on wattpad a lot more and connected with so many different people, but after the update a lot of the people I knew left. My mutuals that I currently have are the best and I fucking love all of them because we think and write so similarly.

11) "Do you relate with any of your characters from your books? If yes, which one and which characteristics are similar?"

Oh my fucking god, yes. I feel like all my characters resemble me a little, especially Cashmere from Blow and Ember from LSD. We’re city girls at heart that give no fucks at all, but have a sensitive heart when you peel back all the layers. Ember is literally my Scorpio moon and Gemini ascendant personified, which is why it brings me so much joy every time I write something new about her.

12) "What did you study /are you studying/do you want to study?"

I major in English with a minor in Education.

13)" Describe yourself in 3 words."

Always. Fucking. High. Just kidding. Laidback. RBF. Happy

14) "What do you advise new writers?"

Take it easy! It literally took me seven years to get the hang of this. No one is good overnight, but to become a better writer, you have to become a better reader.

15)" Questions based on ' Leopard Space Dolphins ' : How were you inspired to write this story?"

Literally I had this dumb idea in tenth grade chemistry to create acid in my school’s lab based on this thing I read online about morning glory seeds actually being a hallucinogenic. Granted it was too ducking hard for me to actually do, but I thought why not create a fictional universe where it was actually successful?

16)" Who's your favourite character in the book and why? "

Temitope hands down. He’s one of the more wiser characters that reminds me of my older brother mixed with my guy friends. Plus, he provides insight and comedic relief whenever Ember needs it.

17)" Have you decided the end of the book? "

Yes, and it’s going to be epic.

18)"If you were asked to publish your book , would you do it?"

Hell fucking yes! LSD is something I want to be published so I can write a screenplay for it.

19)"Which is your favourite a) funny, b) dramatic, c) romantic, d) sad scene in the book, until now?"

a) funny: any scene with Temi and Ember

b) dramatic: when Ember was left by Elias at the dance after feeling jealous about Crash

c) romantic: the house party scene where Ember danced with Elias

d) sad: Crash basically telling Ember she’s a dummy after she tells him she has a crush on Elias

20) " A phrase or a scene that you write and you'll never forget.(and why)"

I will never forget the locker room scene between E&E because it took me MONTHS to write that one scene because the tension between them building up to that moment was almost palpable.

21) " How much time did it take to plan the whole plot? Are we near the end?"

No way, it’s about halfway over at this point. I anticipate at least 15 more chapters for a 35 part completed book. And I planned the whole plot two years ago, but my life outside Wattpad put my writing off completely.

22)" How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?"

Five (published), I basically abandoned all my 1D fics because as most people know I’m not a hardcore stan anymore, and I’m focusing on writing original ideas that I can publish in the near future. No Hearts Bound does need an ending, so that should be finished soon (even thought it was a Valentine’s Day short lol), and my oldest original Cannibals is going to be finished after LSD.

23) "Any spoilers for future plans?"

Someone might being forced to choose orange as their favorite color in the end...

24)" What team would you be as a reader? Team Elias or team anyone else that right now exist in the book or will exist in future chapters?"

I always do this thing where I make the readers root for someone who I never expect, but if I was reading I wouldn’t be on Team Elias either. He’s a dickhead with a sweet heart, and it’s gonna take a while for anyone to love him. I’m honestly Team Crash though haha.

25) " Explain the title and why did you choose it for your book."

Acid’s name is LSD, so I made up a ridiculous code name that represented the acronym and Leopard Space Dolphins just came to my head as the first thing.

CRITICAL QUESTIONS

1) " What ridiculous and untrue, yet slightly plausible, theories can you come up with for the cause of common ailments like headaches or cavities?"

That headaches come from bacteria building homes in the crevices of your brain, and whenever one does revocations, it causes a mild or serious pain based on what they’re constructing. Building a house, for example, will cause a migraine versus retiling the bathroom, which would cause small head pains.

2) "If you were wrongfully put into an insane asylum, how would you convince them that you’re actually sane and not just pretending to be sane?"

I’m gonna be in there for life because nothing can prove that I’m not insane lol. I think I’d probably pull a One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, run the asylum, and escape to be on the run.

Thank you so much for interviewing me! This was my first ever interview so I'm glad I got the chance to participate. Shoutout to @kiwistyles_xo for challenging me, it was really fun :)

Thank you so much lucohaze!!❤❤

All the love,
