What genre do you prefer to write in and why?
I prefer to write fantasy because you can invent any type of characters you want, and build up mystical creatures. You cant go right or wrong in fantasy. Your basically inventing your own little world. I also like to include life like problems in my stories, such as, self harm, tragic death or anorexia. I feel as if I can write more about that topic, because I pretend to be that person who has the problem, and I set my mind frame to match. I like to write horror and thriller stories too. Sometimes I can think of the most freakiest and scariest stuff, that I frighten myself just writing it.
Fan fictions is also one of my strong points. I like writing fan fictions because you feel as if you already know the person you are writing about. This makes it easier, because while writing fan fictions you become that person and imagine what they would do in a particular situation or how they would act. I like to mix other genres with fan fictions, such as fantasy, because it gives a bit more drama and excitement to the story.
So do you want to make a career out of creative writing?
Yes, I would love to make a career out of creative writing. Being a famous author one day is my biggest dream. By writing small pieces here and there, I wish to full fill my dream some day, and be known for it. I have had some people put me down, and say that I cant achieve my dream. However I’m not the one to back down, if I want to be that famous author, I will be. No body will be able to stop me from aspiring to reach my dream.
Do you have a specific author that really influences you in your writing?
Yes! In fact I have quite a few. I love Becca Fitzpatrick and her ‘Hush Hush’ trilogy. It was a really great read, and so far I have read it about four times. I also love Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight saga. I have read all the books, and can say that they are way better than the films. I love the say she describes feelings and emotions, it makes me feel like I am one of her characters. I loved Meg Cabot’s books and the way she writes too. My favourite ones so far are ‘Abandon’ and ‘Underworld’. They are really attention gripping. I actually couldn’t put the book down until I finished it, and when it finished I wanted more. I also love they way each one of her characters is very different to her others.
How much do you write?
My writing usually varies. Sometimes I can write loads of really long chapters, which form really good book with good detail. Other times, I can write short stories where there will only be a few chapters. I write whenever I can. Sometimes I get the best ideas in the middle of the night, so I quickly jot it down in the memo of my phone so I don’t lose the idea.
Do you have any advice for young maybe inexperienced writers?
Yes. I’ll tell everybody to keep writing, because the more you write, the better you will get at it. Another thing, don’t let anyone put you down. If they say you can’t write or are rubbish at it, don’t take in what they say. Instead continue writing more and more, because when you become an expert at writing, you can tell them what you have achieved. Also reading what others write is and good way of expanding your writing skills.
Thank J.K!
