What can we expect from you for the Block Party?

From the Block Party I'm hoping that my readers can get a bit of a sneak peak into the minds of both me and my characters! 

 How did you low what to choose for Kelly Anne Blount's anthology? 

 I actually chose two stories, because I'm very awful at making decisions and can never choose just one of anything. 

You have a little over 32,000 followers in just 2 years! What do you think was your 'break-out" success? 

I definitely think that posting Aesthetics is what made me "famous". After I posted that my followers really started blowing up, which was still a little weird to me because it happened so quickly and I hadn't done anything differently!

If you could interview ANY author dead or alive, who would it be & why? 

I would probably interview Caroline B. Cooney... I love her works. 

You've written fanfic, and you like One Direction. If you could meet Zayn Malik, what would you say to him? 

Oh gosh, honestly I probably wouldn't say anything and just stare. And then maybe I'd gather myself enough to tell him that I support him no matter what he does and that he means a lot to me. 

Do you have any writing tips for those wishing to be as successful as you? 

My 'favorite' writing tip is really, don't write anything that you wouldn't want to read yourself. A lot of times people try to write something because it'll be 'popular', but if you lose interest in it halfway through then there's no point! 

Who are your influences? 

 I don't have any specific influences, but sometimes I'll read a passage (out of a story, or maybe a quote on Tumblr) and I'll just think "man, I want to be able to write like that". So anyone and everyone influence(s) me, really. 

Thanks Jae!
