Interview with: Hel-loo
Pronouns: She/her
Most Popular Book: All a Joke (Eren J. x Reader)

1. How would you describe your wattpad journey so far?

So far, the watt pad community has been really welcoming. I feel comfortable enough to share some things from my personal life that I want to do on there. However, I would say, that since I produced two full books one right after the other, I got really burnt out really quick. And that was really only in a matter of months. I was first introduced to watt pad when I was around 12 years old, and then I got off and came back when I was around 18. Both very positive experiences

2. How do you deal with hate comments?

To me I see two different types of hate, both which are really rare. One I see directed towards, not necessarily to myself, but to my writing. I deal with a lot of insecurity so sometimes it gets to me that "oh this person doesn't like my story" or "this person doesn't like my writing at all" with that, I sort of just read it, think about it for a day, but then I go on to other things in my personal life. I keep my watt pad life and my personal life separate, at least I like to think I do. The other type of hate I see is between other readers on my books, and truthfully, I hate those even more. I want my books to be a place people can openly share and not get judged. I've made comments before about being nice to one another in my comments section and that everyone is able to voice their feelings, and if you don't like or agree with it, just keep moving along. With those, I typical write a comment to stop and if it persists I report it

3. What book gave you the most writer's block?

And the book, which is now unpublished, would be Expiration date. I had a good idea but I didn't execute it the best way I would have wanted to so I just got stuck and saw no development. But between the two published ones, probably Control gave me more trouble. It was more figuring out how to conclude the story in a strong way

4. What is your favorite book of yours that you've written?

Personally, I read like All a joke. It's my first birth and it holds a place in my. Especially since I was actually thinking of publishing it. Are there things now that I would have done different for it, yes, but it's still my first work and I'm proud of it

5. How long have you been on Wattpad?

In March it would be 2 years for my current account, but I was on watt pad for a while when I wa younger, maybe middle school

6. What made you write in the first place?

That's a great question, this one is a weird one, just because I never had any intentions to posting my writing. But what made me write for myself was that I was in a dark place mentally, and I really just wanted to escape from the things around me just for a little, even if it was for my eyes only

7. What do you do when writing?

I really just laying in bed while I'm writing with a video or music on in the background. But I have to be in a certain mood to be able to be writing

8. What time of day do you usually write at?

Typically at night, or the evening ish. I usually use it as a relaxing thing so it's better for me to work and write at night

9. What made you want to have 'Hel-loo' as your username?

It's actually because of the way I say hello. I generally say it with a pepp In my voice

10. Did you ever think 'All a Joke' would get as popular as it is now?

God no. I really just thought that I would get buried under the other stories that were put there. And that was only because I really thought my writing wasn't all that great and people would just get bored of it

11. Does writing ever get stressful for you?

Sometimes, especially towards the end of my writing days just cause I think too much on if my audience is gonna like what I'm producing

12. Favorite music artists?

I'm really into motionless in white. They hold a special place in my heart cause they rekindled the love for music I once had

13. Favorite animes?

Fruits basket, say I love you, golden time, soul eater, hunter x hunter and attack on Titan, not in that order

14. What career do you want to pursue in the future?

I want to be a special education teacher. I got into accepted into my program this semester so I'll be taking major courses this coming spring

15. Any hobbies other than writing?

Listening to music, occasionally singing. Or watching YouTube

16. What anime universe would you want to live in?

I would probably say maybe the hunter x hunter universe but that's a hard one. It's between the hunter x hunter universe, fruitsbasket universe or golden time

17. Favorite movie?

Most definitely Shrek

18. Favorite fanfic that isn't yours?

It's not even an anime fan fic. I got curious and looked for miw fics and my absolute favorite that I have reread about 4 times with some sections skipped woild be Surviving Ricky by Mtrench3

19. Anything to say to the supporters?

Thank you so much for believing me and pushing me forward, especially on the days that I felt burnt out and wanted to cry and be away from everyone, without you all, shoo I'd probably be a little more depressed than I already am 🙃 but thank you for sticking around with me and I hope to see you in the revision of expectation date and maybe other fanfics. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Stay awesome and Stay safe. I love you all so much and appreciate your support 🙂❤️
