maizedup is a very popular writer on Wattpad, having written books like 'Mafia's Babygirl' which has over 1 million reads, and 'Genesis' which has 509k reads! It was really great to interview them, and here is what they had to say!

Why did you start writing on Wattpad ?

I started writing on Wattpad because I always loved writing. Writing helps me express my thoughts and feelings through a written form, and Wattpad was just one of the ways I could share my ideas and stories with others.

What's been your proudest moment on Wattpad ?

My proudest moment on Wattpad was when I reached 1 million views on my book "Mafias Babygirl". I was so proud of myself that day, because I never imagined reaching 1 million views on a book I thought would never reach that far!

Where do you get your inspiration from?

I get my inspiration from songs, movies, shows, other books, etc.

Which book has been the most fun to write and why?

Genesis was the most fun to write because it was based on a true story about two of my friends who hated each other in the beginning but grew to like each other in the end. While writing Genesis, I was able to add a little humor, relatable topics, and issues in the book. My readers love the book so much that I'm contemplating about making a sequel or a spinoff.

What's the hardest part about writing on Wattpad ?

The hardest part about writing on Wattpad is not being able to update. I always feel guilty whenever I don't update, so on my message board I notify my readers that I'll update my books soon. It's hard for me to balance out my private life and my Wattpad life, because my readers expect an update from me and so do my teachers who are expecting homework and assignments.

What are you favourite chapters to write and why?

I believe writing cliffhangers are the most fun. I love to end my chapters with a huge cliffhanger and get readers thinking about what will happen next chapter.

And finally, what advice would you give to a new writer on Wattpad ?

Go for it. Don't let anybody stop you from doing the things you love. Don't live life based on other people's perspective, create your own point of view and follow your own dreams!
