Hi guys, today I'm joined by the wonderful Ari, who was delighted to join me "on the couch"

Also!! Words in [this format] are my thoughts during the interview.

Let's get to it...

What was/is it wattpad like when you post your stories?

When I first started posting stories, around two years ago, Wattpad was a little different than it is now. Dialogue stories were not as popular, they were slowly becoming popular. There were not really hate accounts and weird spam.

It wasn't as diverse with story topics like now. Now we have more stories about LQBT, interracial marriages, minorities etc. That weren't ever used before.

How do you deal with writer's block?

Ugh writer's block, I hate it so much! Trust me, I've had so much writer's block lately for one of my other stories and I've been trying to force myself to write but I can't. I usually watch TV, listen to music and read books both in real life and on Wattpad to get inspiration and motivation.

Where did you get your inspiration from to write your story "Regrets"?

Regrets was originally a random book that I had entered onto a competition. Then I decided to turn it into a full on book! I was watching a commercial about the dangers of texting while driving and boom, I utilized that along with romance.

Besides reading, what else do you do in your spare time?

Besides reading and writing, I love to play soccer, listen to music and watch Dan and Phil on YouTube (they're just so funny and so cute)

Are some of the characters in your books based on people in real life?

Weirdly enough, I haven't thought of my characters being based off people in my life. Though, now that you mention it, I can actually see some of my friends and other people's personalities in them. Real life experiences truly do help with the writing process.

Do you have a favourite author, on or off wattpad?

My favourite author off wattpad would have to be Rainbow Rowell plus a ton of others. I absolutely adored Fangirl, Carry On along with Eleanor and Park and I still have more to read from her. I have way to many favourites on Wattpad to pick just one.

[I've actually seen many books by Rainbow Rowell and you just got me thinking to actually read them]

Man/woman/celebrity crush?

Cole Sprouse, there a re no words to describe him, just look at him 😍

[You know he doesn't deserve a ten, he's a twenty]

Favourite song at the moment?

[at the time of posting]

Play that Song by Train, it's constantly in my mind.

Do you have a show that you started watching and have become obsessed with?

Funny you should ask, I've recently started watching Riverdale and I'm obsessed with it. There's so much suspense and it's crazy good. I'd highly recommend it and plus Cole Sprouse is in there which makes it even better!

[I've wanted to start watching it but I'm just so busy]

Favourite social media?

My favourite social media is wattpad because I don't have any other social media(shocker, I know) and I'm always reading, writing and interacting with my friends.
