A youthful fifteen year-old author who has been writing for three years.

Thank you Adelle for letting us interview you.

____________________________________________________________________

Hi! So nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too!

Yay! I'll send the first question shortly!

Ok.

What inspires you?

I absolutely love reading other people's stories and watching horror movies. You can say that I'm inspired by the Goosebumps books and all horror movies with plot twists because they give me ideas.

I love it! Is there a book in particular on Wattpad that has inspired you?

Yes! Jakayla Tony's book Hide and Seek. I absolutely love it.

Amazing! I'll keep that in mind! Do you ever experience writer's block and if so, what helps you get out of it?

Yes! Well, I love to watch certain movies that have my favorite actors and actresses, because it helps inspire me. Especially, the celebrities that I used in my stories.

I agree! I've always loved watching movies so much! What advice would you give to new writers who experience writer's block? Do you think perhaps watching films may help them too?

Yup. I'd tell them to do whatever they like. Taking a break would help too.

Is there somewhere, in particular, you go to take a break?

Actually no, because I have a very strict family. But my escape is the internet.

When you say you have strict parents, do you believe that has formed your writing style in any way?

Yup. It just makes me feel like I should write the parents in my stories either strict like mine, or mostly open like my mum. Who isn't that open but still. Every other person that I either love or disliked too.

What do you think is the most important lesson you have learned?

Well, I used to trust people too quickly. But now I don't very often. I used to trust my elementary school friends, but I realize that that they were toxic. I was taught not to trust people too quickly like I used to but, at the same time, make the world a better place and not hate on others.

What do you think is wrong with the world and how do you think you can make the world a better place?

Well, I want to stop sexism, misogyny, gun violence, and help people in need all around the world. Sexism really upsets me, so I'd like to just end it.

Is there anyone in particular that you aspire to be like?

Well, R L Stine and Stephen King mostly and Cameron Boyce. I loved him and I want to be as effective to the world as he was.

Cameron Boyce was beautiful and I'm sure he is missed by many. If you ever had the chance to meet him, what would you ask him?

"Now, why the hell are you cute?"  I would want to ask him how he managed to affect many people like that and how he managed to do all the projects he did.

He truly was inspiring! Do you have any advice for those who want to make changes to the world? Either through writing or by other means?

Well, I would tell them to try hard and never give up, like Cameron. The world needs to change, and we're the only ones who can because some other people don't really care. We need to defeat the negative energy. And yes, maybe they can change by writings!

Your answers are amazing!

Thank you so much! Your questions are amazing.

Thank you so much, you're too kind! Which of your stories did you enjoy writing the most?

I enjoyed writing a Writer's Life and the sequel, Until Dawn because it's based on my life and I had no problem writing it.

Do you believe a Writer's Life will inspire people? And if so, how? By the way, I love that book! The style used to go out is truly beautiful and inspiring.

Well, not really. I made it only for entertainment but if it will inspire people in any way it would be to write their own life in a book. Life is never boring.

Really? Thank you!

Of course!

Thank you so much! It's the first time anyone genuinely complimented me like that.

Really?

Yeah!

Other people have different opinions, and I respect all.

That's a very mature thing to say!

Thank you.

Is there anything, like a note, you would like to send to your readers and those who aspire to be a writer like you?

Yeah well. Just be yourself. When I first started I wanted to be a perfectionist in a night and day. Don't do that. You'll be an expert as you write more.

Thank you for your time! This interview was truly inspiring. I hope you can make those changes to this world and carry on writing! I'm sure you are on the path to success.

Once again, thank you.

Thank you so much for being patient with me!

It was a pleasure meeting you!

The pleasure was all mine!
