Where are you from? (Country)

Canada

When did you start writing? (At what age or which year)

I have always loved to write. I started officially writing stories when I was about ten.

Why do you like to write?

I can express all of my feeling's into my characters. All my anger, happiness, whatever, is shown throughout my characters in the story. I usually connect with one or two characters. If you read my stories, how the characters react to the situation, is how I would react. Mostly.

Is English your mother tongue? If not, what is?

Yes, the only language I know.

How did you find out about Wattpad?

A friend told me about it.

How long have you been using Wattpad?

I started using Wattpad this year, the start of quarantine. 2020.

Are there moments that have inspired you to write?

Similar to the third question, whenever I have a strong feeling towards something, I write it down. Sometimes random moments, usually in the afternoon. Sometimes I'm meant to be doing homework, and I'm just sitting there like, I have a great idea from my story.

Does your culture affect your writing in any way?

The way we grow up, the way we are raised and the environment will change everything about a person. If they are raised to love, or raised to just survive; their views on everything will change. Are they raised to worship gods or science? So my answer to this question is yes, I don't exactly know-how, but yes my culture affects my writing.

Are you a night owl or an early bird?

Depends who you talk to. Both I guess.

What are the problems you face when you are writing?

Deadlines. DEADLINES. Uhhhhh.

How much time do you take to write a chapter?

Depends on how I'm feeling. I once wrote three chapters, edited in a day. Then it once took me three days just to edit one written chapter.

Usually, about a chapter a day.

Do you research things before writing? If so, what are the sites you use (if you're willing to share)?

Yes, research before and during. I mainly use google.

Do you listen to music while writing? Do you have any playlists for writing?

I know lots of people find this distraction, but music makes me focus on writing. I listen to rock, soft rock, pop.

While writing, I like to listen to K. Flay, Grandson, and Bishop Briggs, Red Hot Chili Peppers. (Favorite Artists)

What does writing mean to you?

It means I can be whoever I want to, try whatever I want, without leaving my room.

What's your happiest moment, in regards to writing?

After I got many votes on one story, that made me pleased. Another, I was asked by a professional author to edit my book.

What do your friends and family think about your writing?

They are happy I have good interests.

Which genre do you like writing?

Mystery, Murder, maybe a bit of fantasy. All of my stories have a dark side though.

What do you think success is?

Happiness.

Do you have any tips for other writers out there?

Listen to the type of music you want your story to reflect. If you are writing a fight scene or an angry part, listen to some rock music, loud and fast music. If there is some sad scene, listen to some softer music. If you find music a distraction, listen before and after writing.

Another piece of information I have, reflect writing off your opinions, your feelings. But don't force them upon other people. Writing is good therapy. Explain you're feeling though some else; your character.

How do you overcome your writer's block?

Take a break. If it's an hour or a week. I take a break.

What kind of environment do you prefer to write in?

Any quiet area with my won music.

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Both, depending on the situation.
