Hello!

Hey!

Have you enjoyed being an author on Wattpad?

Definitely! It's easily one of the best decisions I've ever made!

What is your favourite book on Wattpad?

I really love 'Lennon' by Bastille:)

Out of your 10 stories, which one is your favourite and why?

Hard question, my favorite is either 'The Smell Of Old Books' or 'More Than Useless' (: I REALLY enjoyed writing 'The Smell Of Old Books', but I think 'More Than Useless' is a better story!

What is More Than Useless about?

Well long story short, it's a Teen Fiction/Romance about a poor teenage boy (Timo) who is struggling to provide for his small family, because his abusive Father had left them. Timo ends up getting a job at the Rosoff Circus and befriends all the clowds, acrobats and staff members.

Throughout the story, Timo is learning to have confidence, and trust in his abilities; and just not letting the entire world bring him down. I didn't want it to be like all the other similar stories I've read, where the abuse is unrealistic and hasn't affected the character at all; Timo has a speech disability, he's very shy, he can be a bit bipolar, so he's flawed like all of us, he's not a perfect hero. I guess I like to think my story is kind of unique, not just because of the way it's written, because there's really no happy ending.

What advice would you give to new Wattpad users?

I would tell them to write for their own pleasure, and not for any form of pressure. Writing should be fun, so don't let the constant pressure of having to update, or edit, squeeze all the joy out of it.

Also, don't let people tell you how to write. Yes, you should definitely take advice, learn from experienced writers, and take what constructive criticism you can get; but DON'T change your writing style too much, because that's apart of you, it makes you unique. And if we all wrote the same way, Wattpad (and life) would become pretty boring.

And lastly, try new things! If you are use to writing fantasy or adventure type stories, my advice would be to try something new! Venture into other genres, I promise you it'll be a good learning experience :)

What message would you like to say to your readers?

I'd just like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVEN PUTTING UP WITH ME! I really haven't been on Wattpad all that long, but I have made some awesome friends! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY STORIES! It honestly takes me by surprise every time I see someone has voted for a chapter, or even left a comment! So thank you again for sticking with me! And I hope you continue to enjoy my stories (:
