Interview: CatScratch57
We draw to a close! And to 100 parts. TIME TO CELEBRATE~!!!! :)
~Blaze
1. What is your name? (you can skip this one if you are uncomfortable saying)
My name is Sierra. My last name I won't say. My name was almost Astaria.
2. How would you describe yourself? (in three sentences or more)
People describe me as kind. I try to be generous. I am a performer at heart, and I love drawing, so I am creative, I suppose. Some call me shy. Others call me a doormat.
3. What languages do you speak?
I speak fluent English. I speak a few words in Egyptian Arabic(as my dad is from Cairo and speaks the language fluently), and a few words in Japanese, French, German, Spanish, a couple more that I won't waste your time with, and a teensy, tiny bit of Swahili.
4. Have you ever been to a foreign country? Anywhere other then the one you would call home? If so, what are some interesting things you saw there?
I went to Puerto Rico, which is a U.S territory. There are Iguanas EVERYWHERE! I saw one iguana that was LITERALLY white, orange, pink, blue, and green. Therefore, we named him Rainbow. Also, I saw a sea urchin that was HUGE. My father scuba dove for years and that was the biggest one he had ever seen. *shudder*
5. What is it that inspires you to write? Is it a person? A place? Anything!
I am inspired to write by anything and everything. Good authors, places(especially Rivers, streams, etc. That's my happy place) And often, I just sit and make stories in my head. Then I want to write them, and voilà!
6. Why did you choose your username on here, does it represent you? Is there a story behind it?
My username is a representation of my love for cats, Warriors, and all things wild! I have had an evolution of Usernames including :
CatWolf57- for my two favorite animals
Juliet_Ohara57- for my favorite character on Psych
SpotlightStar57- for one of my OC's of a fandom, and my love of performing!
57 is my ultimate lucky number.
7. How old were you when you took an interest in writing?
I loved writing from the time I learned how. I just wrote and wrote. I actually would write about animals I knew lots about, and then give it to my mom. I wrote about everything. So, I'd say I was about 4 when I started to write for pleasure!
8. What was the first story you wrote that you can remember? What was it about? Is it on Wattpad?
The first story I wrote that I remember clearly was "April and Moon and the Forest of No Return". It was a story about my childhood character, a wolf named Moon, and my twin sister's, a fox named April. On a dare, the two go into a haunted forest and they get into tons of danger. They have to find their way out. Is it on Wattpad, you ask? Heavens, NO!!! It was horribly written, cliché, everything was wrong with it. I would destroy the brains of my readers if it were to ever make a presence on Wattpad!
9. Do you prefer to write your story on paper first? Or do you just go straight to the computer?
Whether I right it down first or not depends. If I'm feeling ultimately inspired when I don't have access to a computer, I right it down first. Otherwise, I go straight to the computer.
10. How did you find Wattpad, and what about Wattpad is the reason you decided to stay once you found it?
I found Wattpad after a series of fortunate events. My classmates spoke of it, as did my sister's. I wanted to check it out, but I always forgot or couldn't at that moment, for one reason or another. Then, I was just on a school computer with my friends when my friend, Megan, brought it up. We then made accounts. I decided to stay, one, because of my love for writing, and two, because of all he positive things I was getting from my readers!
11. What is your favorite book on Wattpad, what is it about this story that makes it your favorite, and why would you suggest this book to others?
I don't have s specific favorite book on here, but I love good warriors fanfictions! Curse of the Clans, Cleardawn's Silence, etc. I appreciate people who follow book canon, like NOT naming kits Oceankit! These stories were all wonderfully done! (Oops! I just realized that you[WattyWarriors] write curse of the clans! Sorry!)
12. Who is your favorite author in all of Wattpad? What are some of their stories that you have read and what makes them your favorite?
I have to name more than one! One is Hollyleaf_ and the other is CrazystarThunderClan! Both are fantastic writers with great stories! I definitely recommend them! Oh, yeah, almost forgot: LightningstrikeTC! She is so great at writing and her stories are fantastic!
13. How did you find out about Warriors and what made you stick to the series?
I was in 3rd grade when my friend, Warriors613 walked up to me during recess and said "Do you want to play Warriors with me?" I asked if she meant those books about cats that I had promptly ignored. She said yes. She said she was going to be Jayfeather, and asked me who I wanted to be. She named a couple, and I heard who I wanted to be: Brightheart. I loved the name, and then we played. She kept saying things I didn't understand, so I decided to read the books! When I read them, I loved them, and now, I have read every single book of Warriors in existence!
14. What is your favorite scene from any of the books and why is it your favorite?
Oh, goodness! To choose just one? Well, I have to say a personal favorite of mine is in Warriors: Dawn of the Clans- Path of Stars when all the rogues formerly of Slash's group say what they want to switch their names too. I loved it because it was a beautiful moment of unity!
15. Who is your favorite character from Warriors (not a fan fiction) and why is that character your favorite?
My favorite character is Brightheart! Because of how I got into Warriors, she will always have a place in my heart! Also, I love how she didn't give up, despite her struggles! She was a good character with a good heart.
16. What would your warrior name be and why?
I have so many different names in mind! Only, the day after I got into warriors, I had made up a name that I still love: Owlgaze. I love owls, and my description was a tawny and brown she-cat with wide Amber eyes. (Hence the 'gaze' part) since she was my first warrior, and I love all I've done with her, I will have to say that Owlgaze would be my warrior name!
17. What inspired your fan-fiction(s)? Both from in the original series as well as from your everyday life.
Bloodscar's Rise was inspired by a roleplay I was doing with my sister. Cavern of Shadows was inspired by my friends wanting to do a collab series! A story I am planning out right now, which is soon to be released on Wattpad was inspired by real wild cats that live by my house. So, all in all, my stories are inspired by all sorts of different things!
18. What would you say is the most important when writing a story?
I believe the most important things when writing a story are, one, make sure you enjoy writing he story. It will not be very good if you aren't enjoying what you are writing. Two, have patience! Writing skill doesn't magically appear! It comes with practice, and most importantly, the want to be better! One more: Listen to the suggestions of those around you. If someone says "hey, great idea, but you might want to work on grammar," you DO NOT freak out and virtually yell. If you want to have a better story, you need to be able to take criticism.
19. Are there any other writers on Wattpad that have inspired you?
I have been inspired by so many people! WattyWarriors, CloudtailGrandmas, Hollyleaf_, CrazystarThunderClan, LightningStrikeTC, firestar4ever, MysteriousCurl, and so many more! All of you guys have inspired me so much, and I can't thank you enough!
20. What do you try to accomplish with your stories?
I am a descriptive writer. I try to make my reader feel like they can see all the events of the story! I also try to make my readers feel a personal connection to my characters. Sometimes, I'm just writing for fun! I try to achieve a story that most will love!
21. Who's your favorite character from a fan-fiction on Wattpad?
This is going to sound really bad, but I don't really have one. Of my characters, my favorites are Arrow, from The Hunted, and Tunnelwhisker, from Cavern of Shadows, and she actually has her own Super Edition coming out! I hope this doesn't sound awful. It's just that there are too many of other people's characters to choose a favorite, and quite honestly, I just know so much more about my own characters!
22. What tips would you like to give to any aspiring authors?
Have patience, enjoy what you do, take criticism well! All the stuff I said earlier! The most important thing is the last one! If you can't take suggestions, then you CANNOT improve! The people take time to give you suggestions, so take them! This goes hand in hand with patience. You need to have the patience with yourself to improve! You can't be like "I'm a horrible writer! I quit! WaaaWAAA" because you can't improve by not working to fix your flaws.
23. Is there anything that you'd like to say to your fans and readers? Any shout outs to specific Wattpad members?
One of the easiest questions yet! Thank you, readers! I love that you enjoy my stories! You have helped so much! Thank you Sparrowheart838 for all your suggestions! Thank you every one of my readers, because you guys are the number one reason I'm still on Wattpad!
24. What is your favorite fandom?
My favorite fandoms are Warriors and My Little Pony! I sort of have a third, although I love the book, the series doesn't have a fandom. Yet. It is called The Unnaturals by Devon Hughes. Read. This. Book. I will have a fanfic of it soon! It will most likely be the first of its kind on Wattpad!
