1) "Name?"

Sophie

2) "Age?"

I am 23 at the time of this but will be 24 in a couple of days. Old, am I right?

3)" What are your hobbies?"

My hobbies are sleeping, writing, watching horrible reality TV shows

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

I started really writing when I was 12, it was the first time I had wrote something with actual chapters. But I hadn’t really started updating regularly until I was 20 on Wattpad. When I first started writing I did write horrific stories for websites that no longer exist.

5) "Which was your first story generally?"

My first story on Wattpad was Malicious, which can be found in the dark crevices of my page. The copy that currently is shown is not the original and it was actually written when I was still high school. It’s now been edited to something semi readable!

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

Nope! Just Wattpad they’re the only ones who will have me 

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

When I first started writing it was the excitement of seeing it fall together. But now it’s seeing how excited readers get about it. I love seeing their comments and their questions, theories, everything!

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

For sure! When I first started writing I didn’t get a lot of reads and when I did it was literally just ghost readers. So I definitely wanted to give up and for a bit I actually did. Numbers aren’t everything but knowing people’s opinions sometimes is.

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

Oh this is so hard! I literally have a list of them! I thinks it’s a tough decision in-between Crazed by  1d_jollygood or The Deal by badbrits .

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

I really have, one that’s always there is  WolfgangAmadeus_! She's the best! She always has the funniest things to say and she’s to date one of my number one commenters.

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

One character I find myself to be a lot a like would be Ana from 50/50. The reason being we’re both very anxious and hard on ourselves. And I tend to think ten steps ahead just as she does, we both cause ourselves a lot of unnecessary grief.

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

I actually studied something very boring, business specifically. And I’ve been working in that field for a couple of years now.

13)" Describe yourself in 3 words."

Quiet, sarcastic and hopeless.

14) "What do you advise new writers?"

My advice to new writers would be don’t give up, obviously. But also be sure to stay consistent with updating especially in the first bit of your posting. There’s no real secret to success on Wattpad other than having a unique story line and a good summary. Another tip would be don’t make your characters typical, allow them to have diversity with their personalities as that makes for a good plot. Especially if it makes them difficult to like and also not allowing your writing to sound too juvenile. Describing things and really focusing on that particular point in that book and what it would feel like to be there in that moment is huge.

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

My inspiration for Privilege was numerous different things. I had read a book a couple of years ago called Stolen: A letter to my captor by Lucy Christopher. And from that point on I knew I wanted to write something on this subject. I’ve also really been fascinated by obsession that over takes people and how powerful it can be. And as for all of the back stories in Privilege, they are modeled after a lot of experiences I had. Addiction, bullying, betrayal from the ones you love.

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

My favourite character would have to be Zayn. I know that sounds really weird but his character has a lot of levels that very few people picked up on. I find him very interesting in Privilege!

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

Yes, I would if only I could keep my pen name. I would never want someone to know what I’ve written because my stories in some senses are like a diary. It would be super awkward if a friend questioned me about it! Especially Privilege considering the story line.

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

The funniest would have to be the pouring of the cereal. That line has been commented more times than any other line. I’m here to settle it once and for all, he poured wrong because he’s a serial killer and a psycho, k?

The most dramatic being Gabby’s death, because it’s horrific.

The most romantic would be the scene where they finally do the devils tango. This is a huge step for both characters because it’s all on the table at that point. And they are both emotionally and physically bare for the first time together.

The saddest probably the ending, saying goodbye is always the hardest, isn’t it?

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

The one scene from Privilege that will always stick with me is the chapter Florida Kilos. It’s the moment after they flee the scene of the crime covered in blood and they are sitting in Harry’s car. It’s the first time Quinn has the realization that she’s really stuck, and it’s the moment in the story when we realize Harry’s broken her down and made her believe things that aren’t true. She believes her parents don’t really love her and that she’s truly alone in the world. She’s shaken by the whole ordeal and she’s asks Harry if she just waits to be killed by him and he brushes her off. I think that’s really powerful and something readers overlooked about how toxic the relationship really was. It’s a chapter where you can really read the intense pain Quinn is in and how horrible it would be to think your parents never loved you.

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

About seven months, it was something I went back and forth on a lot! Especially the ending!

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

Lord, right now I have tons of half written stories. But I have four in progress that haven’t been uploaded and one on my page that I don’t know if I’ll ever get back to.

22) "Any spoilers for future plans?"

I may have one, that’s not really confirmed yet and will be said here first- is that there may be a sequel to Privilege coming in the next couple of months…

23) " I really really want to know what happened in everyone's life like 10 years later maybe. How did they continue their lives individually? When Harry came out of prison how did he continue his life? Did they meet somewhere and ignored each other? I NEED ANSWERS, PLEASE!"

This is a good question! Niall, Louis and Liam stay in prison so unfortunately there isn’t much that changes for them. As stated at the end of the book Harry does do minimal jail time as he worked with the police to give up quite a bit of information to take down a large part of the drug trade that they were in. This allowed him to be released and essentially deported back to where he came from to live under the witness protection program. As for Quinn, she eventually goes back to school and graduates from Psychology, majoring in the criminal aspect. In the second year of returning she meets her future husband and although he’s not Harry he’s pretty good. They never meet again although I’m sure it crossed their mind.

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

I challenge LipsThatLied LipsThatLied and  persuasivehs

CRITICAL QUESTIONS

1) "What’s the most ridiculous fact you know?"

That panthers have spots similar to cheetahs, we just can’t see them.

2) "What is the funniest joke you know by heart?"

This one’s lame but here we go. A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help. Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you. “The stranded fellow shouted back, "No, it's OK, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me."So the rowboat went on. Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you." To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith." So the motorboat went on. Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety. “To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith. "So the helicopter reluctantly flew away. Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didn't save me, you let me drown. I don't understand why!" To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"
