now lets enjoy our small talk!

Tell us a little about yourself? Perhaps something not many people know? What is the story behind your username?

I was a reader on Wattpad for two years before I posted my own books. I read most of the books in werewolf and vampire genre and after I was done, I just decided to write my own fantasy book about witches and warlocks called "Her Heart, His Obsession." So, I am not a writer by profession. I have a different ay job and write for fun. Accidentally writing became my hobby on Wattpad.

The story behind my username is very simple. When I was a reader and was only reading on Wattpad, I did not need a username. Users did not need to log into the app in order to read. When changes were brought in in 2013, that was when I suddenly could not read the normal way on the app and had to sign in. I looked at it as an insignificant action. I was a reader. I had no idea, I would stay on the app this long and had no idea there was a such thing as profiles, messaging etc, I was not happy to have to choose a log in. I just chose the first name that came to my mind that as to do with kings and queens. I then chose to have a number repeated and 888 came to mind. I had no idea that there were any such thing as social interactions on Wattpad. I just joined to read and later on I realised this is the name that people see when I vote or comment. So, it was an experience, discovering the social world of Wattpad when I signed in. before signing in, I had no idea.

Describe your outside Wattpad persona?

I am very quiet. Not very outgoing. I am very safe and very conservative in taking any actions. My area of expertise is science so it can tell you I am quite safety conscious. I live a quiet and normal life. I just write as a way to release pressure of life in weekends and then it's back to reality of life for the 5 days a week. I do like books and movies. I love entertainment. I love sports.

What should I expect if I meet you? What are the turn offs and ons for you if you meet a new person out of a sudden?

I am very honest. Some people don't like it. I also don't like dishonest people. So, if I meet someone who likes people to lie to them, say to them they are amazing and never gave them any constructive criticism then we won't get along. I have learnt to keep my opinions hidden and only discuss with friends as I meet some people who don't like feedback. They just don't and Wattpad doesn't have many people who like to hear the truth. It's ironic when these outgoing people who post on their profiles, that yeah guys I am friendly, come chat to me, read my books and comment are the ones who mute anyone who tells them the truth. So yeah. My advice is don't assume people like honesty on Wattpad even if they imply to you that they do.

How and why did you join Wattpad?

By accident. I was using ibooks for a long time to read books and then when I searched free books on app store I came across Wattpad. That's why I joined. To read free books.

What is the story behind your username?

I explained this in first question :-)

State random yet interesting facts about you and your characters.

I love family and love family values, I promote families in my books.

Also, I can't stand cheating in relationships. I can't get my head around how anyone can cheat on their partner or spouse. So, most my major characters are faithful to each other and don't betray each other. It's probably because I can't simply imagine such situation. I can't grasp and begin to understand how someone can have eyes for another when they have committed themselves fully to one soul in life. Don't get me wrong. I believe in love after divorce or breakups. I am talking about when someone is with their partner and while they are with them, the cheating happens.

I write general fiction and teen fiction books because I can imagine them well in my mind. I write this way because it's all personal experience and observation. A lot of the scenes in my books are inspired by real life events but not in terms of specific details. Many feelings and emotions are real and have happened in real life whether its experienced by me or observed by me.

Where did your love of books/storytelling/reading/writing/etc. come from? When, why, how you started writing?

I loved reading books always. But my love of writing can only be proven when I kept a diary years ago. I wrote my diary for years. I enjoyed descriptive writing essays in school. On Wattpad I had no plan to write. Only after I couldn't find any witches and warlock books that interested me I started to write my own book about magic. I loved magic at the time. I have read harry potter. It captured my imagination for sure.

If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in any of your books?

I don't think I could change anything about my books. I think I always listened to feedback too. But maybe I wish I had acted on some feedback a bit earlier. My editing tasks are piling up and I wish I had started editing my work to tailor it to feedback by readers sooner.

But if I could change anything on Wattpad, I would not talk to anyone about anything but books. I do regret making friends who took friendship as a relationship. As crazy as it sounds sadly sometimes what you say can be taken out of context. I am not on Wattpad for social interaction and even on social media I am just there to get to know authors, read books and learn tips about writing. That is all. I really regret how I allowed some conversations to go beyond that. So, keeping interactions to minimum is something I would have done if I had to do it all over again because it did cause me a lot of upset and stress when I had disagreements.

Which authors are your inspirations? what is your writing ritual? Any tips for new writers?

I love JK Rowling. She stays true to who she is. I love her personality. On TV, I remember her making a cake in a documentary for her child's birthday. Here she was a billionaire baking a cake when she could pay thousands of pounds to buy cakes from outside. I think I also love how she talks openly about her struggles as a single parent who had to live on state benefits and had a tough life. She had help from her friend who gave her money to help her out while she was writing. She later bought a house for that person. that shows, some people are classy. Money can't corrupt and change certain people. Money doesn't buy class but also doesn't take always someone's class and coolness. I think it is important to be true to what we believe in and what we stand for no matter who we are and who we become.

I write alone in a room in dim light or the dark. It's hard for me to focus when I am in a noisy room or in front of TV.

I just tell writers to keep writing. I know it's tough to get reads on Wattpad and sadly people get demotivated but reads comes over time. Every day I go through my follow list and do notice people who have unpublished books that I had in my reading list. I was soon to read their books but they gave up on it for some reason. Well, if I had given up on my first book I wouldn't have written for this long. My followers and reads are compiled over years. I still remember when I had zero reads, zero votes and zero comments. I had nothing. But back then I didn't know anything about social elements on Wattpad. I even didn't know you could vote and comment until someone voted. I was shocked. When I discovered it, I voted for others too? I only had one reader to begin with who commented and I think she was so encouraging that I wrote 180+ chapters for my first book even though I had no comments for some of my chapters. It's hard to motivate ourselves when there are no reads. But back then when I had no clue about reads, votes and comments, it was so easy. I didn't know about it so I didn't miss it. Now I know about reader numbers so I admit it now. if right now I see my read count for a certain book goes down I switch to writing another book. I just need an excuse to stop writing general fiction and lack of interest from readers would be an excuse to start a new genre. I have written sequel after sequel and I need to stop at some point. But having said all this I am more interested in advice from undiscovered and new authors. It is amazing how undiscovered writers keep going. But for anyone who is doubting their writing I say, there is always someone out there who loves your work. JK Rowling was rejected by so many publishing companies before Bloomsbury said yes to her. So obviously even when you write a master piece some critics would not like it. There is no book that would please everybody as we are all different.

Give your hobbies, and favourites and things you hate. Give your strengths, weaknesses, pet peeves, hobbies, passion, dreams, desires

I love listening to music. I love baking. I hate liars and dishonest people who turn a blind eye to injustice around them in any setting. My strength is speaking in public and my weakness is trusting people when I shouldn't. I am too trusting and can't recognise friend from foe sometimes. My dream is to be kind and nice. I love to make new friends and meet new people. I love to help people in any way I can.

Do you ever wish to be a published author in real life? why/not?

Yes. Its because I want to get an ISBN for my books so no one plagarises them. I dont mind selling my books for free. Making money is not my intention if I ever publish. I have a different career to writing. But I don't want anyone to take credit for words I wrote. A few months ago, someone sadly published my book in their name. Every single word of my book, A Mob Boss's Family was published in kindle unlimited. The book has been taken down and the cheater is gone but it has made me determined to publish one day to dis-credit the cheater.

What does writing mean to you and why?

For me writing is a release from the hectic and horrible world I see around me. This world is filled with greed, discrimination, injustice and hate sadly. Ironically the first book I wrote was a dystopia and when I think of it, that world was not so bad. It was better than the world we currently live in.

What would you say to your fans/readers? do you have a name for them?

I try my best. But sadly, when I get many messages and comments, I do fall behind in answering. I have a touch schedule outside Wattpad in real life and I am so tired in weekdays. The only time I have is weekend for writing and also family activities. So, I have little time on Wattpad. I would like to be able to answer to each comment and message but unfortunately, I am behind.

Believe it or not Sarah, you are one of the most engaging authors in know Wattpad. you are really the most awesome!

What inspires you?

My family, friends and of course Wattpad readers who have faith in me and stay with my books.

What makes a really good description? Does cover matter? why and why not? What factors do you need in a book to start reading it and why?

I think for me at the moment it matters if a book is read by people who I follow. That's the method I find new books. To me, a book is a worth checking out if people I follow are currently engaged with it enough to vote and comment on it. So, to me, cover and blurb don't matter. Whether the book is recommended by people I follow matter more to me. I just go to newsfeed and look at if there is a book that someone I follow has been reading for chapters straight. I add it to my library. Of course, cover matters too. if cover shows scary stuff I don't add it. But blurb for me is not as important.

What is your writing Kryptonite?

Tiredness and being busy is my kryptonite in writing.

What do you think of the wattys? A lot of people of have said that watty had started to become less and less fair. Thoughts?

I use the same notion when I discuss with people the Oscars ceremony. I tell people look. To me, the Oscars are meaningless because I won't see those movies more than once or even once. I have tried. Just because a film wins an Oscar it does not mean that its entertaining and captivating. Same with books. Winning an award means in terms of literature its good but is it enjoyable to read? Maybe to some and maybe not to some. The biggest issue is that millions of books are present on Wattpad and only 100 gives or take won watts last year. So, it's very few people who win watts. I try not to think of watts much. For me when I look around, the book that has been read by me many times deserves a witty in my view. But we all have different views.

What things make a story less interesting? What is your self-esteem?

Violence and incorrect rating. Some mature authors rate their work PG13 when it has content I have never ever come across at all even in 18+ movies. So here we go. Gory scenes and inappropriate rating is a turn off.

My self esteem? I think my reader comments give me self esteem and also when I am able to reach my writing goals it does give me confience. I have been updating weekly without fail for two and a half years. My goal is 2000 words per week and every time I reach it, it gives me hope.

What are your thoughts and opinions on sites like radish? describe your experience ?

I love writing apps. I love Radish. I recommend everyone to research their apps before joining them. Just go to wattpad forums, social media etc,. and ask around about user experiences. Then based on your own research make up your mind. I really dont want to talk about radish because I dont want to come across as though I am telling people to join. I love the app personally. But some may not agree. We are all entitled to our opinions.

if i were your fairy godmother and could grant you one wish , what it would be and why ?

I would ask for updates on Artemisia

Oh man! That honestly made me cry, thanks a lot and sure I will grant your wish by the very upcoming month 😊

When do you write best? And what are the genres you absolutely suck at writing? WHY??

early morning and late night when I am in bed totally alone with no distractions is when I write best.

I can't write anything except fantasy, general fiction and teen fiction. My worst genre that I can't write to save my life is fanfiction even though I love fanfiction and its my dream to write a proper complete book in this genre.

What is your personal philosophy? And where does your inner drive come from? What does writing mean to you and why?

Personally, I like to think I value education and studying above everything. I think priority of everyone should be to educate themselves either by continuing their education in college or if they don't go to college do continue learning by reading books. we all live to learn.

My inner drive comes from encouragement from family and friends.

Writing is a distraction from the difficult life we live called reality.

What do you think of fiction awards that have been started recently?

Its genius, amazing, inclusive, fair, ran smoothly by hard working selfless volunteers. It gives everyone a chance to have a go. I love how it brings the Wattpad community together.

I've noticed that when you started out you were a fantasy author which quickly shifted to writing mob romances? why? describe this transition? will you ever go back to your roots?

I just happened to have inspiration to write a mob book as I was writing a fantasy book. the ideas were in mind so I started writing it. Inspiration for both books came suddenly. I wrote one chapter at a time and luckily, I could develop my ideas into a series. I am hoping to go back to fantasy. I just need an excuse to end the mob boss books because they go on for a while. I am not sure when I stop writing those books. Either I finish the series after I run out of ideas or when readers stop reading.

How did you get the idea of writing your New York mafia trilogy?

I am a fan of mob books on Wattpad. But before I read any mob books on Wattpad I saw the godfather movies. Ever since then I had some plot in my mind for a mob story. I think all mob boos and films are inspired by the movie godfather. If anyone says otherwise they are lying. If I hadn't seen the movie godfather I doubt I would have written any mob boss books.

Share with us some character, story, plot, trivia?

I can't share too much because it would be spoiler.... But what I can share is how I choose names of characters. Mostly my character names come from baby name websites. I just scroll through A-Z of names until I find a name that fits the character I am writing about. However, the characters who are meant to be minor I don't search so hard for. I just go with the first name that comes to mind. I later on regret it though because then the character becomes big sometimes and I didn't choose the best name for them.

What do you think of Wattpad? And its recent developments like change in how stories will be featured?

I don't really think about it much. I did discuss it with authors on social media but I don't think it matter much to me. My books are not ever going to be featured, it would never affect me so it doesn't matter what system is in place. authors who edit their books professionally are mostly affected. My books are just written for fun. I shouldn't think of serious stuff.... Having's aid that I wish Wattpad did listen to writer feedback more. Some writers are leaving Wattpad due to lack of support and plagiarism.

give us an insight on a fictional story or world in which you are part of? what would it be like, the plot everything!!!

I would love to be in the middle of a werewolf book. I love to be a shifter. I am a twilight fan and team Jacob. I love the idea of being a wolf shifter. I would love to have a mate who would love me unconditionally too.

You have a magical mobile phone? It can call anyone from past, present and future? who would you call and why?

I would call Stephanie Mayer and would tell her please make belle end up with Jakub. I just think Jacob would have been happier with belle. I can't see her as a vampire.

What TRUTH (in truth or dare) would you dread most? If your life was a book, what would be the title and summary and why?

I think if someone asked me who was your first love or first crush, I would melt down. I am very shy and private.

My title would be "My simple world" and summary would be: Please read at your own risk. caution there is plenty crazy events happening. Brace yourselves.

Describe the important traits of your personality?

Shy, calm, quiet, good listener, smiley, funny.

You are a part of Wattpad block party. How does that feel? want to tell us something about it?

Last year as I was entering giveaways I entered the giveaway from Kelly Anne that gave away spots in next block party. I was lucky to win a spot. I never had the courage to apply. It's great to meet new people. I look forward to read posts by authors and also read comments by readers on each post. I will check it out to learn something new. It's a learning experience every day on Wattpad.

how did you come up with the idea of HHHO?

I just had the idea. Maybe it was after watching the series, charmed which is about witches and also reading harry potter I came up with a plot involving magic. It just occurred to me.

If you were stuck in a horror or thriller movie sort of situation what would you do? (you can take an example of any of your fav horror flick and character too)

I scream and run as fast as I can. I would try to save myself because I have no combat skills at all. But if I had a weapon and had combat skills I would act like buffy the vampire slayer and fight hard to save myself and those around me.

What makes you vote and comment on a story and why?

If I remember to vote and comment, I will. I always do. However sometimes I just don't because I just don't think author takes into account my feedback. It has happened that an author murdered a main character and we begged and begged for her to be brought back and no joy. So yeah if author doesn't reply to comments I don't comment. But I always try to.

Have you ever gotten reader's block?

All the time. I do get block for a couple of days and then suddenly ideas do flow. Its natural. Normally after a block is over, I come up with new ideas.

Who or what gives you a severe case of RCS (ROLLER COASTER SYNDROME) ALSO known as butterflies in your stomach?

Some books on wattpad do that for sure. Many do. I dont want to name names since those authors write mature books. Just in case young ones are reading this I don't want to recommend mature books if minors are reading.

How do you think you've evolved creatively? What are some of your weird writing habits/rituals? What about weird obsessions both literary and normal life?

I think I have gained more confidence in writing in general but no other change. My spelling, grammar or ability in descriptive writing hasn't changed much

I don't have rituals. I just write in dim light best and when alone. I just can't concentrate in noisy environment. But having said that listening to music sometimes before starting a chapter does inspire me and sets the mood. Also, images of models who are cast on top of my pages inspires me. Sadly, photo bucket started charging money so I had to close my account so you won't see any images on top of my chapters except the new ones. But for each chapter I did have a unique image that was inspiring sometimes to me in setting the theme or mood.

What were your goals and intentions for all your books, and how well do you feel you achieved them?

I just want to entertain people and when a few readers come back for sequels it makes me feel I made some people enjoy the book enough to read on and that's all I want to see.

How has writing changed you? What is your favourite part of your book?

My writing has made me interested in teen fiction for some reason. Most readers on Wattpad are teenagers and when they comment with teen fiction related scene ideas or comments, it does inspire me to go to teen fiction direction I guess.

I guess the cliff-hangers are my favourite because it can excite readers enough for them to ask for updates. For me it's a compliment to the chapter that I just published when someone says please update. If someone says please update that means they liked the chapter enough to want to read more. Sadly, some writers don't see t=it that way and tell off readers... readers are fully aware that the writer just posted the book and may not post soon. But when they post "Please update" it's a compliment. it shows their liking for the book and their approval. I get worried when sometimes people say when does this book end? That's when it gives me signal to end the book and start sequel so I can get readers who are still engaged move on to next book.

May I just say thank you for having me. I enjoyed answering your thoughtful questions. I loved all the questions. They made me think. You are an amazing author with creative ideas and a kind heart who helps others too. God bless you.

Now people I leave you this, while I cry my heart out in joy ... someone cares ! damn damn.. wait did i mention there is an extra que? here you go lovelies

How has your experience been on radish and what are your thoughts on that?

Radish has been amazing. It's my favourite app to write on. This app was only made last February but within the short time they have established a strong team. Sky is the limit for that app.I think every writer's preference is different with writing apps. Some may love an app and another writer may not find it useful. For me radish has been good. I post my work for free on both Wattpad and radish. In future I might write stories to charge coins for as radish has that option. I think if anyone is reading this and thinking they want to try other writing apps, all I can say is do your research please before applying to any other platform. Personal preference is different. I think radish is great and has advantages that other apps don't. For now the restriction that is on the app is the fact that it's not a website. Wattpad is a website and an app so if someone has no phone they still can read a story. But for now radish does not have a website and if your phone does not download the app for any reason such as the software not being latest, you can't access radish. Having said this, some writers love this about radish because it means radish has no mirror sites. Wattpad has mirror sites because it has a website. So there are two sides to the argument. Some see mirror sites as a threat and link it to plagarism. I have been affected by plagarism and totally support an app that has no mirror site. But I think my experience on radish is what I make of it. I think it goes the same for other writers on radish too. They have the opportunity and what they make of it determines their experience. Some authors were offered the chance but didn't take it. So they didn't even give radish a chance. I loved the idea of it and they had me at hello. I joined and I love interacting with fellow writers and readers on social media. Some readers on Wattpad tell me they wish radish had comment feature. I think radish may develop that feature soon because they have had requests. They developed a heart button that can be compared to the vote button on Wattpad. But the heart button can be clicked more than once. So when you are on Wattpad and read a chapter that blows you away, you may wish you could give the chapter 100 votes. That's possible on radish to press the heart button more than once. They might change it based on feedback to something different in future. Who knows. They are open to feedback and change their app based on the view of readers. I think it's a very exciting time to be a book reader. All these amazing apps with cool features are coming out. I am so glad I love reading and writing. 

now thats a wrap up !
