1. What inspires you?

A. I'm affected by all the things around me, especially the little things like odd conversations, a stray cat, early morning mist, afternoon rain, something on the radio, a laugh.... nature on a whole, nature is overwhelming. and then there are the people who affect me even if most draw a negative emotion. i seem to prefer feeling those too, and it reflects in my writing. Some of the people in my life who affect me positively are my baby sister, my grandma, some friends at school, and all you wonderful wattpad people.

2. What is the hardest part of writing for you?

A. i find it really hard to not write on the same topic over and over again. for example if something is happening in my life at the moment, i cannot write about anything but. and i hate using 'i' so much. i feel like i'm too absorbed in my own feelings to care to write about others. and what's ironic/hypocritical is that this feeling also seeped into my poetry, and this....

3. How much time do you devote to promoting your books, where any why?

A. i don't directly promote my books, i just read a lot and comment, comment, comment and hope maybe someone will appreciate them and find their way to my profile. however, that's not the reason i read, i just genuinely want to experience other people's thoughts. i am just in awe of how relatable most of them are, that there are people out there (right here) who actually feel things in a similar way. the only account i shamelessly promote is PoetsPub ... ;D

4. Why do you write?

A. i write to get out of my head. the day that stops working i don't know what I'll do. it's ridiculously loud and crowded up there. i think too much, so i need an outlet. i also want people to know that they're not alone, i want them to feel that connection across the screen, the one that i feel at times.

5. What is your favorite quote?

A. wowww I've got lots. favourite? ok. from Sylvia Plath 'let me live, love, and say it well in good sentences'

isn't that what we're all trying to do here I really want to thank lkrice for recommending me, she's awesome... actually there's not enough words to describe...

and of course, last but obviously not least, a hearty thanks to you Thomas (you have my dad's name :') ), 5ifthproject for granting me this opportunity. I'm happy you take the time to do these, you're a gem too!

Bulletin: before Nov. 6 I'll be posting the beginning of a new collection "in which i seek to immortalize humanity in all it's glory and sh_t" that's the description. i haven't decided on the title. 'people' seems overused and 'the relativity series' is so cheesy aha. it will be my attempt at writing about other people/things, and channeling their emotions. i'm not sure if you want to, but wish me luck.
