A: I like (reading) historical fiction and (writing) mystery (and fiction, and sometimes fantasy, like magic themes) Q2: Have you ever finished writing a story? A: uhhhhhhhh DO YOU HAVE A WARRANT FOR THAT INFORMATION?? I’ve almost finished the first draft of a novel (that I kinda abandoned, I swear I’ll come back for it!), and also the first drafts of two short stories, and two other short stories (that I called novels basically) when I was in like 3rd grade. UPDATE!! yay I finally started draft 2... Q3: First person POV, second person POV, or third person POV? A: Typically, first person, but sometimes the story just calls for third person, y’know? Q4: Do you have a favourite author? If so, who? A: That’s a tough question! I think I have favorite books rather than authors, but I really like Karen M.

Q5: Do you want to be a writer when you're older? A: Nope. I want to be an AUTHOR when I’m older! I’ve wanted to be an author for a loooooooooooooooooong time. It’s literally my biggest (cough cough only) goal in life. Q6: Do you have any advice for writers? If so, what is it? A: Uhhhh… stay in school, don’t quit your day job, and don’t try this at home? Well okay, first, you can’t edit a blank page. Remember that first drafts are for getting your story down! And also, writing should make you feel happy! If you feel stressed, maybe put it down for a bit? Q7: When it comes to writing, are you a perfectionist? A: Sorry, I can’t answer this because if I do, I’ll spend five years making sure I answer the question perfectly. Q8: Have you shared a story on scratch before?

I mean yeah probably Q17: Do you like putting references in your stories? (references to other books, a movie, songs, etc) A: Not really? I don’t know, I don’t like to set my stories in the “real world”, so I don’t like to reference McDonalds or Walmart and stuff. If all my stories were set in the real world, then my characters would meet, and we can’t have that. Q18: Do you like writing chapter books? A: Yes! Q19: Realistic fiction or unrealistic fiction?

Q24: When did you realize you wanted to be a writer? A: My uncle was an author, so that’s really how I figured out I wanted to be one.

A: When you don’t plot and realize that was the worst decision of your life. *edit: 2nd draft and still not plotting! Q28: Do you do journaling? A: Eh, sometimes. My phone’s journal app is mostly filled with quotes. For example! “Schoolwork is more important than writing your novel.” (Says my friend, WHO’S LYING!!!!) Q29: Do you write in one specific way/theme, or lots of different ways/themes? e.g. fantasy, third person, non-fiction, first person, second person, fiction, etc A: Hmmmm well I always abandon stories before I finish them so that’s a hard question.
