Gotham_xo is an amazing account home to books such as 'I Was His' which has 247k reads and 'My King' which has 112k reads. It was amazing to interview them and here is what they had to say!

Why did you start writing on Wattpad?

Hey, first of all I'd just like to say I'm so happy to have this interview and it's a blessing that my books were liked so much . But anyway, I wrote my first book here on a different account about 3 years ago because I was doing a independent writing project for a class and I used that and published it here. I was a lot younger and I did get some great feedback but I had a lot of friends on the account and I'm a little iffy about my writing . However , due to the response I decided that I would wait a bit longer to Improve my skills and open a new account ( this one ) and write anonymously on it !

How did it feel to hit 100k reads for the first time?

When I hit 100K reads on my book I Was His, I honestly didn't expect it because I didn't even think I'd be getting over 100 votes and comments! For me that was a huge achievement and it baffled me that people were actually interested in my book and my characters , I was so humbled and I have the best readers ever . I mean if you read my comment section you'd know what I mean , they're so crazy, funny and dirty minded ( like me !).

Which book has been the most fun to write?

My newest book The Punishers Mate is the most fun to write because it's very unique and different. I don't think I've read a book on Wattpad or any other site that is similar to it and I have so much twists up my sleeve. Also, it only currently has 7 chapters yet I have 60K reads , over 3K votes and 1K comments on it ! That must mean that I'm doing something right !

Where does your inspiration come from?

My inspiration for writing is honestly due to my readers because there has been so much times I've thought to myself to delete the books or just start over due to my over thinking but they always tell me to continue. Also , some of my favourite authors on here really give me inspiration to continue as does every day life! I could be watching something or listening To something and I'd think hey ! This has really inspired me .

What's the best part about writing on Wattpad?

The best part about writing is my comment sections! I mean, these people have become my family and I read every single one of them and always try to reply to them. Some comments are so funny that I'll be laughing for ages or some are so dirty minded that even I'd be shocked, but I love it so much !

What's the hardest part about writing on Wattpad?

The hardest part can be the ideas , I want my story and plots to be unique and different which is why all my books are interlinked in some sort of way and main characters from one book can sometimes make a appearance . But it can be really hard to think of new , fresh ideas that I know will get people going.

And finally, what advice would you give to a new writer on Wattpad?

My advice would be to really try and get your book out there. Message other writers for advice by for you publish your book ( I did ) and hopefully they'll give you great tips. Try and make your book unique and different , be fresh and exciting a even if every chapter only gets 1 comment and 1 vote continue because that's still one person who loves it .
