winner from: WattOrginals awards

1. What is the best way to handle a bully?

Honestly, I'm not really sure. I was once a victim of bullying and I just silently got through it. I do think that's it's important for anyone that is being bullied to learn to stand up for themselves. Of course, it's not easy and it doesn't always work but it's a step. Get help from anyone you can rely on and most importantly, do not blame yourself and your flaws for the actions of your bullies.

2. What is your favorite story?

I don't have one in particular. If I had to choose, I think it'll be The Hollow by Nora Roberts, The Scarlet thread by Francine Rivers and most of Rick Riordan's books.

3. What's your favorite thing about Wattpad?

I love the community. It's nice to be able to meet people that share your love for reading no matter what genre of book it is.

4. Are you still surprised when you get a new vote, follow or comment?

Definitely. I haven't updated my book in a very long while so I don't know if there's anyone still reading it. But I do know that whenever I got a new vote, follow or comment, I would be completely surprised and excited.

5. What is one wattpad goal?

I just want to finish my book, start a new one and maybe enter it for the Watty awards next year.

6. What is your favorite movie?

I don't have one in particular.

7. If you could hang out with your favorite celeb for a day, who would you choose and what would you do?

Ok, this is hard. I think I would choose either Faouzia or IU. Listening to music is a coping mechanism for me and their music has always been a place of comfort for me. I would obviously take photos with them and get an autograph for bragging purposes and then I don't know. Spend the day with them, I guess.

8. What is a song you enjoy? Who is the artist?

Well, I enjoy a lot of songs. At the moment, I really like Minefields by Faouzia and John Legend, Above the time by IU, Truth is Sabrina Claudio and Trigger by Woodz.

9. What is a good piece of advice for a newcomer?

Don't be scared of what people will think of your writing and don't hesitate to put your story out there. There'll always be someone to support you. Take constructive criticism and drop the hate. It's not easy but it's worth it. Also, find out what message you want to express through your book and your characters. Allow yourself to daydream and think out of the box. And then build your plot around whatever you come up with. Make sure you can connect with your writing and your characters and when you get hit with a writer's block, don't panic. Just take your time, relax and you'll get the inspiration you need.

10. Who is your favorite author?

I have two, Francine Rivers and Rick Riordan.

11. How would you celebrate a publishing deal?

I don't know how I would celebrate it. Considering the type of person that I am, I would probably tell only two people and then scream and celebrate by myself with food and whatnot.

I have another book called The Last Renegade. It's a short story that I wrote for a contest and it has only three chapters. Please check it out and if possible, give me some feedback. It's a book that focuses more on action and suspense. It touches a little bit on someone trying to free herself from a mistake that she had made in the past. Also, read Underneath Her Glasses too.
