Writing Interview. Ft. Julia Napoli.

  Okkayyyy.. so first, I will explain this writing interview-who nonsense. I found a writer and she agreed to let me ask questions about her writing life.
So let us begin!

Q: How many WIPS do you have going right now?
A: Right now I think I have four big ideas roaming around, but I always have tons of small ideas floating around in my head too. The four big ones would be one that is currently titled "Long Live the Humans, two other ones I have yet to title, and another one called Superunnatural.

Q: What is your favorite WIP?
A: My favorite WIP would probably be my most recent idea that I actually haven't written much at all. I haven't even named my main character yet, but I think I have the whole plot in my head and I think it's epic. Hint: it has aliens and a huge plot twist that I've never seen in a book or movie before.
(just in my opinion, I think it sounds pretty epic.)

Q: what made you want to write?
A: Most of the credit for me starting to write would have to go to my big sister. When we were little she would write stories, and then I would totally copy her and like change the person's first name or something XD. Then, of course, I would deny copying her, but yeah that's how I started writing. I didn't really start writing seriously until i was older and started reading the Redwall series (They're pretty great books) and it really inspired me.

Q: Favorite writing style?
A: I'm not really sure... I wouldn't say it's my favorite, but a style of writing I really like is what I like to call 'Nonsense Books' which are basically books like Alice in Wonderland, Phantom Tollbooth, and Peter Pan, where everything is just made up and whimsical. My range of books I like is really huge though, I like everything from Treasure Island and Peter Pan (Mentioned above) to all the futuristic books like Hunger Games and Maze Runner

Q: have you ever shed writers tears over your work?
A: I will admit it......no, I have not. I do fangirl over stuff I've thought up, but I don't think I've ever shed an actual tear

Q: what is your most successful book attempt?
A: My most successful book attempt would be a book called 'Breaking Point'. I did it for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and I only got up to like 15,000 words, but it was a huge accomplishment for me.
(it would be one for me too!)

Q: what is the worst case of writers block you've ever had and how long did it last?
A: The worst case of writers block I've ever had is actually happening right now. I'ts probably been going on for a couple months, I know it's horrible! I'm hoping since I recently thought up a new idea I'll be able to get some of it down, but well see.

 Thank you to Julia Napoli for doing this interview with me. I feel like Caesar Flickerman on the Hunger Games. I will link her blog here and her Pinterest here make sure to check out her blog because she will be doing a fangirl interview on me! anyway, that's all folks. God Bless ~Emma.
