1. What led you to write?
When I was a kid, maybe about six, I saw "Hercules", you know, the disney version. Also, for as long as I can remember, I have had a hard time falling asleep. So when I couldn't fall asleep, I tried to come up with new senarios for Hercules. I gradually did this with other tv shows, and after a while, I figured I should just write them down.

2. When did you start writing?
third grade, but it was mostly fan fics. my first original story was in sixth grade, and it was also my first book. 99 pages of crap. xD

3. What does writing represent in your life?
My ideas and stories put down on paper for others to read

4. Are you happy with your current style?
I try to improve upon my style, and some of my works I don't like reading over and over again, but I guess.

5. Do you do editing?
when I'm motivated.....which is not very often.

6. Do you read about writing (creative writing books, grammar books...)?
Books: I try to, but they're as boring as hell. Internet sites are better, and I read them when needed.

7. Favourite genre?
Sci-fi/fantasy/romance/horror. all of those....in a tie.

8. Favourite author(s)?
H.P. Lovecraft, Chuck Palahniuk, Douglas Adams, Michael Crichton and Stephen King

9. Favourite book?
Jennifer Government and Fight Club.

10. What do you prefer to write?
I don't know, whatever comes to me. Romance is fun, though. :D

11. Is there anything you can't write?
I don't know. I haven't tried everything yet. It's hard for me to write exciting parts, because my brain goes faster than my hands.

12. What is the weirdest thing you have ever written?
"Wormhole" It has all of my weird ideas from the time I was 14 until I was 17.

13. Choose a topic: love, death, friendship. Now write a couple of lines about it.
Friendship can lead to love
and love can lead to death

14. Do you think you have influences from any professional writer? If so, which ones?
Chuck Palahniuk, a bit of Douglas Adams and Stephen King

15. Worst book you have read so far?
Twilight

16. Why is it so bad, in your opinion?
Sparkling vampires. also Belle has no good traits, and Edward is too perfect. xP

17. Choose one of your characters and describe them in three words.
Kae- short, secretive, defensive

18. Does your character feel ‘alive’?
He feels shitty.

19. Could you kill this character?
Nope. I want to turn him back in to his (ugly to most people/smexy to me) form first.

20. Do you hate any of your own characters?
Prince William and the cute witch sister

21. Now, let's be honest. Every writer has their own favourite creation. What's your favourite story, out of everything you have written/planned to write? And character?
"The Man in the Glass". Kae. :)

22. Have you ever abandoned an idea for a story? Why?
yes. well, not so much. in my head I'll pick them back up later. I do this because something happens in my life and I stop and just can't get back into it.

23. Have you ever deleted a whole piece of work? Why?
when I was a kid, still writing in a notebook, yes. Because I thought I wouldn't start them back up again.

24. And finally: make up a completely original character right now and describe them briefly. It doesn't even have to be human!

Noel Gatsby. She is the Lead singer to the band "killer queen" which is a cover band for "queen". She's tall, thin, pale, with long brown hair and green eyes. She's 19 years old and likes to wear horizontal stripes. Her band is quite successful since the lead singer to queen, Freddy Mercury, died. They're about as Popular as Green Day was in their hayday. She is in the band with three boys: Tony, Chris, and Sam. At one gig, Noel got sick, and without their lead singer, the band sang random, non-queen songs. This proved oddly-popular with the fans, and they did this until she recovered. The fans wanted both kinds of songs to be sung. Noel had no objection. Tony is in love with Noel and said so in his own way when he sang "Teen-aged dirtbag" at their first gig without her. Noel has yet to take notice.
