1) "Name?"

Sarah.

2) "Age?"

34.

3)" What are your hobbies?"

I work a lot but I like to hike, listen to music and hang out with my nephews. Oh, and writing, obvs.

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

I think I've always enjoyed writing, but I probably started writing more seriously in high school. I find for me it's a good way to be creative and explore different parts of myself and my mind. It's always interesting to see where my brain takes me haha.

5) "Which was your first story generally?"

My first story was A Lifetime of Moments, which is why I'm currently editing and re-posting, it needs some work!

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

I only write on wattpad, I do have a tumblr where I post quotes of my stories @harrystylesfanfiction).

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

To be honest motivation tends to come and go for me...but I find sometimes something as simple as a nice comment on one of my stories makes me want to write more. I think readers often underestimate the impact comments have for an author and how much it means to us, it's the best thing ever! I also pull a lot of ideas out of songs. Say You Won't Let Go initially gave me the idea for Saving Styles.

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

I think there have definitely been times where life has been super busy and I haven't been able to write as much, but I think I'll always write. I used to update every day, but I've had to slow down a bit. I also know as a reader how frustrating it is to start a book and get into it only for the write to never finish it so I always make sure I finish what I start.

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

That is so hard! There's so much talent out there. I really enjoyed the Anarchy series.

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

Of course! I consider all my readers friends, some have been with me since the very beginning. Some DM me after every chapter to tell me what they thought and it's amazing!

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

I think there are pieces of me in all my characters. Since I write things from different POVs I get the opportunity to write from different perspectives and tap into different sides of myself. I think Hailey's need for adventure, TJ's loyalty to those she loves , Hannah's desire to take care of people, those are all things I've kind of pulled out.

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

I am a psychiatric nurse so that keeps me busy for now.

13)" Describe yourself in 3 words."

Loyal, Empathetic, Strong.

14) "What do you advise new writers?"

I would say to just keep doing it. The more you write the more you develop your own style and discover what kind of writer you want to be.

15)" Questions based on ' Through The Lens ' :  How were you inspired to write this story?"

Through the Lens was interesting in the way it came about...I initially had an idea about sort of a small country town and a kind of carefree girl, and Harry just kind of fit into that. I rarely know where a book is going when I start it haha.

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

I love them all in their own ways, but I think I have a soft spot for Ryan.

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

Are you joking? Of course!

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

a). When Niall arrives.

b). The fight in her room.

c.) The restaurant.

d.) Hailey's last night in London.

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

There's a few but Hailey's line "I never thought I needed to be rescued until I realized I wanted you to be the one to do it" sticks with me for some reason. And Harry's "You don't catch a girl like Hailey. If you had her, it's because she let you."

20) " How much time did it take to plan the whole plot? "

I don't really plan plots, I just kind of write and see what happens haha.

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

I have two that are completed but being edited (A Lifetime of Moments and Don't Let Go), Two I'm working on but haven't published (Crossfire and Lost Girl), Breaking the Ice is almost finished, And three completed (Saving Styles, Through the Lens and Family Ties. Although I will be editing Saving Styles soon.)

22) " What is that thing about your story that you would like to be actually true?"

I think I'd like Harry to have that place to escape where he feels normal, where nobody cares who he is and he can just live and be free of it all.

23) " Do you thing that 1D boys have indeed this kind of relationship between them?"

I mean, I would hope so. I think a lot of things happen in bands that can create hard feelings or resentments, but I hope underneath it all they're still close.

24) " Do you ship Niall with Gemma? It would be iconic!"

Haha I mean sure, why not? Whatever makes them happy.

25) "Any spoilers for future plans?"

Just that I will hopefully starting to post chapters from my new fic 'Crossfire' when Breaking the Ice is finished.

26)"  Are you planning to publish a sequel?"

I thought about it originally but I think I kind of wrapped it up nicely.

27) " Choose- 'challenge' two writers that you want to know about to do this interview like you."

Ahh another hard one! Let's go with @laura_writes and @kristimcmanus

CRITICAL QUESTIONS
