Random Author Survey

Question

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer? Ever since I discovered the ability to tell my own stories and make my own worlds. The day I discovered other people create the stories I've been so obsessed with even before starting school and the stories themselves aren't conceived by machines I guess the "logical assumption" would be at that age. But I've always had books in my life. How long does it take you to write a book? It took my co-author and me quite a while to finish out with JUDD, it's gone through many drafts and versions but there's also a lot of things that have stayed consistent. The characters have been there from the beginning, but it didn't start out with powers, it started in the Dramedy genre coming-out story. I wasn't originally going to publish it, I was just writing, but it still felt like it was missing something and not worth sharing on something like FictionPress.net or Wattpad. After we decided to add superpowers into the mix, all the worldbuilding was coming in as we were pantsing a redraft with a similar story but scenarios where powers were an additional struggle along with the life of being a teenager in the closet. Not only just that but a teenager in general. Eventually, I fell in love with this world and idea we were coming up with and I began to bring publishing up to Erika and she agreed. I started creating docs upon docs of worldbuilding to use and backstory for even side characters as side characters and villains always tend to be my favorite parts in works of fiction. After I felt I was done I started the draft that would be sent off to Beta readers before publishing. The whole process has taken us 7-10 years, but I just wanted to make sure it not perfect but something worth reading ourselves even. Now we're planning the rest of the series, a bulk of it is planned and hopefully, the later books won't take as long to write, so far so good now that we have a planned direction. What is your work schedule like when you're writing? I write while my husband is at work so about six hours a day, five days a week. Sometimes I'll put headphones in and write while he's here but he really likes to talk to me while he's gaming or watching something and I like to give him my attention. So many authors get so caught up in work they leave no time for loved ones. I don't want to be consumed, I tell stories because it's my passion, publishing is the cherry on top. What would you say is your interesting writing quirk? I have a lot of fun with diverse characters and personalities. The more into the series the stories gets, the more you'll learn about these characters, more than just Sam himself. Yes Sam is the main central story, but I wanted every character to have interesting stories, in a world with superpowers, I imagine a lot of big things happen to people. Again, I've always favored side-characters. I was afraid that fact would take away from Sam's personality, but at this point I'm confident it hasn't How do books get published? There are a couple of ways, you can get an agent to get you traditionally published but I believe you give up a lot of creative control when you go traditional a lot of the time. I'm a bit of a control freak, self-publishing was the lane I chose from the beginning, I'm a series writer, I didn't want to be told by "the man" that my story wasn't interesting enough to be into a series or if it was, be told what direction I had to go in it. I believe our story will have an audience; big, small, doesn't matter to me. Where do you get your information or ideas for your books? I listen to some podcasts and blogs, and they all give pretty good advice. I'll list them below. YOUTUBE: Alexa Donne iWriterly Writing With Jenna Moreci PODCASTS: The Rebel Author Podcast Professional Book Nerd Go Publish Yourself When did you write your first book and how old were you? I was about ten, it was a Harry Potter parody we'll call it. Since at that age, publishing wasn't even a thought I feel plagiarism is kinda harsh. Only my mom read it and I'm sure it's in a trash heap degraded by now. What do you like to do when you're not writing? I love watching movies, TV shows-- mostly Marvel MCU and Star Wars content--videogames, and of course reading books. I'm very much an introvert. What does your family think of your writing? So far they approve and are proud. They know my expectations aren't astronomical and that the point is just to share and be a storyteller. NYT Best Sellers List would be cool, but not required. What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books? How to use a semicolon, never thought I'd learn but I think I'm getting the hang of it How many books have you written? Which is your favorite? I've written a handful, at least ten. Not all have been shared but this is my first published. Do you have any suggestions to help others become better writers? If so, what are they? If you want to publish and tell your story, do it. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Many write and have a full-time or part-time job. Writing and publishing can also be a part-time job and also be called a career. That's how I see it for myself personally. Also, know what advise to take and not to take, you don't have to take absolutely everything, just consider advise and decide what's for you and what's not. Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say? We only have ARC and Beta readers for JUDD so far so in terms of it, yes. But when I'd post on WattPad I'd get a lot of feedback and comments of my writing. I just felt one day it was time to take my craft seriously. Do you like to create books for adults? I want to eventually, I'm taking babysteps. This is only my first publication so I want to allow myself to grow as a writer before I start on something I feel I'd like to get a bit more complex on. What do you think makes a good story? A good idea and letting fictions inspire you. It's not easy to be original but you can still tell a good story if you place your own twist on it somehow. As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up? I wanted to be a writer. Again, books have been my life, I've been captivated by storytelling since my first Dr. Seuss book was read to me in the early single digit and I eventually memorized the words on every page and was reading them to my mom. That's how I learned how to read, by self-determining what I've been memorizing and making sense of those shapes I was staring at and how they create their sounds. Thank you for taking the time to read this and get to know about me and our book. A blank version of this survey will be in the comment section if you'd like to fill it out yourself for a bulletin or blog or something, just make sure to say you got it from me or copy and paste this section along with your post so that the source said in a minute is present. Questions gotten from a website called TeacherVision for young kids who want to interview authors, I'm just using it as a SpaceHey author survey. I figured start somewhere. I'd like to see some more authors show up on this website, aspiring, indie, and traditional.

Answer

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

i have always wanted to do something in the arts, but i suppose not up until a few years ago did i truly realize i wanted to be a writer.

How long does it take you to write a book?

about six months to a year, depending on how quickly i write.

What is your work schedule like when you're writing?

i usually write during the night, so my writing doesn't often conflict with my daily schedule.

What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?

i like to use a lot of really long, older english-sounding words, and overall just write like i am a person of the nineteenth century. i usually just pull these words from whatever book im reading at the time. recently, i've been pulling long, fancy words from dracula and frankenstein.

Where do you get your information or ideas for your books?

i haven't really dove deep into the youtube/podcast writers available to listen to. i mostly just get my advice from my other friends who are writers, or just read whatever i am questioning about from a random blog.

When did you write your first book and how old were you?

i was eleven, i believe. i still own it, and look back on it occasionally. my fatal flaw was just that i was writing it more like it was a tv/movie script, and not a novel.

What do you like to do when you're not writing?

i play guitar, go buy stuff for my collections, lots of things.

What does your family think of your writing?

i'm yet to share my writings with them, but i'm sure they'd not really care one way or another about them.

What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?

i'm yet to really have an epiphany while writing, but when i was much younger, definitely learning to not just directly model after novels or tv shows/movies i had seen, and to draw from others i admire, and still make it my own, was definitely a lesson i don't regret learning.

How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?

i've written about two. one is a psychological novel, about a horror writer driving herself to madness with her own writings, which i like quite a lot. the other is a romance novel about two best friends coming to terms with the fact that they love each other, which i do also like. i'm not sure if i have a favorite

Do you have any suggestions to help others become better writers? If so, what are they?

i will say, extending and varying what i read has definitely helped me become a writer who is prepared to write any sort of scenario. i'm able to write a love confession, but also someone grieving the death of a loved one, mostly because i've put myself out there in terms of what i have read, and read many authors do the same.

Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?

i don't share my writings with many people, but i usually hear positivity.

Do you like to create books for adults?

most of my books are targeted towards adults, so yes.

What do you think makes a good story?

as much as the writing is important, i also believe that believable characters, and characters with personalities and traits that make them their own, is one of, if not, the most important part of a story. i have read so many books that have wonderful writing, and a wonderful premise, but the lack of character depth just makes the story fall flat.

Answer

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer? When I began to read? Or even before that? How long does it take you to write a book? I finished only two books and these were NaNoWriMo novels, so about a month each. But I never got around to really rewriting them, which would take the most time. Oh and also a children's documentary that took me around two months, twice ('coz this one I edited/rewrote). What  is your work schedule like when you're writing? Intensive, because I tend to get obsessed with things so if I'm really into a story I'll write it whenever I have free time. What would you say is your interesting writing quirk? I use way too many em dashes. How do books get published? Hell if I know! Lol. Well, I sent my kid's book to multiple publishers but it wasn't accepted, so I'm thinking about auto-publishing. Where do you get your information or ideas for your books? The Internet I guess? When did you write your first book and how old were you? Probably 7 for little stories in book form, 12 for my first novel (but I didn't finish it). What do you like to do when you're not writing? Creating other stuff, like videogames or zines. What does your family think of your writing? They're very supportive, my first readers. What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books? Some stuff about space for my documentary? How many books have you written? Which is your favorite? The two novels + documentary I talked about earlier. The documentary would be my dearest one (it's about women astronauts). Do you have any suggestions to help others become better writers? If so, what are they? You just have to write. Reading different stuff can also help. Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say? Well I did hear from my family and friends ^^' they were very appreciative. Do you like to create books for adults? Yup, as well as for kids. What do you think makes a good story? Passion? As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up? A writer!

Answer

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer? I wanted to be a writer since I was a child but when I was faced with the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" And saw the differences between me and the answers of my peers I quickly switched up to just deciding something else. But at my heart I know I want to be an author for myself but the creative route, in the eyes of many, has always proved to be so "only if you're a diamond in the rough" kind of thing. How long does it take you to write a book? It took me a year to finish a full original project, for fanfics it takes me a few weeks to a couple of months depending on whether it was a shitpost of a project or not. What  is your work schedule like when you're writing? Can't say. What would you say is your interesting writing quirk? I mix both American and UK spelling of words in somehow the most infuriating way. One sentence will have color the next will have colour. How do books get published? If I figure it out it sure as hell won't be now Where do you get your information or ideas for your books? Most of my inspiration comes from very religious sources and history as well as philosophical ideals. I find that even though my ideas are necessarily religious in itself I find myself taking ideas in some of the lessons and connotations made in biblical books such as the book of Ecclesiastes. With history I find it a great example in drafting out stories of realistic tragedy, anger, and romance.  When did you write your first book and how old were you? I wrote my first book when I was 10 years old and finished it when I turned 11. It was... heavily based off of Danganronpa (shoutout to the danganronpa fans out there) What do you like to do when you're not writing? If I'm not writing you'll find me studying or filling up the forums on here. What does your family think of your writing? My family doesn't acknowledge the fact I write, moreover, although they "support" my efforts in writing they're very pessimistic or sarcastic in their efforts of doing so. What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books? That many people take great offense in making indirect biblical references in non religious pieces of literature. How many books have you written? Which is your favorite? I've written only 2 books with alot of small projects on the side but one of my favorite pieces of work (both as a piece of writing and in my process writing it) was a book I called "Eden". Do you have any suggestions to help others become better writers? If so, what are they? Honestly, it's best to start now when you're not ready than spend hours of your time watching videos preparing yourself. I know there are people like me that want to be prepared, that want to immediately chuck out a new york bestseller, but realistically we're not all going to end up writing prodigies. It's best to grab a pen and paper or grab your laptop or even phone, open your  notes, and let everything flow. There is where you'll truly begin to become a writer and it only becomes a road of discipline from there to keep writing and making it consistent. Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say? Majority of my beta-readers remain anonymous and send their critique via an email through a third party. Majority of what I've heard is simply suggestions and improvements. Some people, such as I, sometimes take this as a direct insult towards my ability to write but never forget to take in the fact that most times it's not that deep. Critique isn't made to insult you (unless your readers hate you (which most prolly dont (unless you're coho.))) Do you like to create books for adults? Hard no. As a teen I want my audience to be people my age and maybe a little older but ranging to adults fully? If my writing suits their tastes then go ahead but as of now in the stage I am in in writing I don't think I'll branch out to adult writing. Mostly since I don't even know yet what most adult written books for adults contain. What do you think makes a good story? Characters. You can have a good plot, the perfect lesson, a theme made for the century, but if your characters or cast can't carry it then your plot is nothing more than a bonus. Characters for me are the backbone of each story they are the reasons there is a plot to follow in the first place but if your characters aren't made for the plot or are lack luster for the plot you are making then what use is your amazing plot? As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up? As a child my interests varied. I wanted to be an author, I was undecided, I wanted to be an engineer, then a mechanical engineer, then a chemist, the list goes on. But what I know I wanted to be the most but I knew would be a hard job to attain was to be a screen writer or moreover a film director.

i'm yet to really have an epiphany while writing, but when i was much younger, definitely learning to not just directly model after novels or tv shows/movies i had seen, and to draw from others i admire, and still make it my own, was definitely a lesson i don't regret learning.

How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?

i've written about two. one is a psychological novel, about a horror writer driving herself to madness with her own writings, which i like quite a lot. the other is a romance novel about two best friends coming to terms with the fact that they love each other, which i do also like. i'm not sure if i have a favorite

Do you have any suggestions to help others become better writers? If so, what are they?

i will say, extending and varying what i read has definitely helped me become a writer who is prepared to write any sort of scenario. i'm able to write a love confession, but also someone grieving the death of a loved one, mostly because i've put myself out there in terms of what i have read, and read many authors do the same.

Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?

i don't share my writings with many people, but i usually hear positivity.

Do you like to create books for adults?

most of my books are targeted towards adults, so yes.

What do you think makes a good story?

as much as the writing is important, i also believe that believable characters, and characters with personalities and traits that make them their own, is one of, if not, the most important part of a story. i have read so many books that have wonderful writing, and a wonderful premise, but the lack of character depth just makes the story fall flat.
