A showcase with @AuthorishNicole, The Two Foxes
1 what inspired the idea of your story?
I had a dream when I was 16 years old about a teenage girl that had to run away from her Puritan family because they wanted to try and hang her for witchcraft.
2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story?
I honestly struggled finishing the first draft. I prefer to edit— as weird as that may sound! I love to work with something already created because there's way more to work with than coming up with a novel basically out of thin air.
3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?
My readers have expressed love and appreciation for The Two Foxes based on the mental health representation and the issues of war and diversity.
4 what's the overall response of your story from your writers?
I enjoyed getting to know my characters and writing the nature scenes scattered throughout TTF. I always feel like I don't do the best with my nature scenes, but I always get the most compliments on describe nature, so I need to get over my self-doubt and skill with descriptions.
5 is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series ?
The Two Foxes is a stand-alone novel.
6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?
I want readers to understand that not every woman needs to be physically strong to be considered a strong female character, that your mental illnesses don't need to define you or take control over your life, and that war affects everyone.
7 what advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to focusing on their own story?
Treat writing like it's your part-time job, and don't only write when you're "inspired"; you need discipline as well.
8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?
Yes, Sarah has quite a few similarities to me! I have a stutter and I also have anxiety.
9 what is something about your story you believe would draw in new readers?
I believe the honesty of my book will draw in new readers; they just need to get past the historical aspect. I understand it can be hard to do so because history classes are usually boring, but take a chance on historical fiction! The genre needs more readers, especially on Wattpad.
10 do you have any future projects?
Yes, I do. My future project is set during Ancient Ireland and follows Neas, a teenager that is blessed by the Celtic goddess Danu, able to control the four elements. But Neas' life is turned upside-down when she has to marry a stranger for political alliances as war threatens her village— instead of her soulmate.
