Host: Ithildae
Guest: Jean247

Ithildae: Question One: how long have you been on wattpad?

Jean247: I joined WattPad in September of 2014, so I've been on here for a little over two and a half years.

Ithildae: Ah, very cool. Question Two: how did you discover it?

Jean247: Thank you :) A friend told me about it. :)

Ithildae: Well I'm certainly glad your friend told you about it :) Now, Question Three: What's your favorite genre to write in?

Jean247: Thank you very much! :) That's a hard question to answer. :) Combining action, adventure, love, humor, wit, and intrigue is fun! :) I write romance, mystery, western, historical, and several other genres including nonfiction. I greatly enjoy writing musical articles - https://supercoolmusicalivingarticle.wordpress.com/ - and seeing what the Creator guides me to write. It leads to some very interesting stuff. :) The main thing to me is to always make sure I'm honoring God in what I write and that everything in it is acceptable in His eyes.

Ithildae: Yeah, I get that. I think that's great, and I strive for the same. Okay, Question Four: what (or who) inspires you to write?

Jean247: Cool! :) That makes it all the more fun! :)

I'm inspired by the Creator, love, and all of creation. :) The Creator shows me things as I observe His creation. Inspiration can be found anywhere, and in anything - good and bad. What I mean by this is that good things inspire me to write good things and bad things to lead inspiration to write good things to counteract their badness.

Ithildae: That's wonderful :) Question Five: Who's your favorite author (either on wattpad or in real life)

Jean247: Thank you :) HardySleuth - I love her writing!!!!!!! :)

Ithildae: Agreed! She is a pretty great writer. :) Question Six: what book have you written (or are you writing/intend to write) that you are most proud of?

Jean247: :) She sure is. :) That would be a difficult question to answer. Each story I write is special to me, because each one is written with much love and prayer. And the same things will be true of the stories I'm currently writing and intend to write.

Ithildae: I see! :) Okay, Question Seven: what is your favorite aspect of writing? Or it's process?

Jean247: I love it when the Creator gives me a story; I enjoy the whole process of writing out the story in detail.

Ithildae: Oh, I like that part too, for sure! Okay, last question. Question Eight: what advice do you do have for other aspiring writers like yourself?

Jean247: Cool! :) Thank you for being such a gracious interviewer, @Ithildaeforever. It's been an honor. :) Your questions were very good ones and fun to answer! :) May God bless you greatly! :) Answer eight: pray for guidance from the Creator. Write what you enjoy writing and know about. Never give up. :)

Ithildae: Great advice! Thanks so much :) And congratulations on winning first place in our contest!

Jean247: Thank you; those are things that help me. :) You're welcome. :) Thank you! :) And thank you again for holding such a cool contest! :)

Ithildae: You're welcome! And thank you ;)
