So today the interview I have done is another beautiful, oh so young and gorgeous
!!!! not katnisss!!!
remember that
My name is Katie and I would probably describe myself as a struggling young adult trying to find my place in the world Haha. I'm from Canada and I graduated university about a year ago. Since graduating I've done a lot of travelling and now I'm looking for work in my field of community mental health while working full time as a supervisor at a shoe store (which isn't all that horrible but I would like a job in my field). In my spare time I love to read and write and since I'm currently living with my boyfriend I try and spend as much time with him as I can, along with family and friends.
MULTI-tasking !
20 facts: 1. I once wrote a screenplay starring my little brother: the Axe murderer. I wrote this when I was nine or ten and it was the first thing I ever wrote... Awks,
2. My name is actually Katelyn but I usually go by Katie or Kate. .
3. Harry's character in The Choice Between is mostly based off of my boyfriend + Seth Cohen from The OC (although my boyfriend isn't as sweet but I still love him).
be happy that you at least have one!
4. I lived in Dublin for three months and want to go back now. switch places pretty please?
5. I secretly wish I could meet all of my readers and we could go on a lovely picnic together while discussing 1D and sipping tea.
6. I am an introvert and I used to hate it but now I embrace it.
7. I came up with the idea for TCB because I had my own pregnancy scare (I wasn't pregnant FYI).thank god !
8. I never knew I enjoyed writing until I joined Wattpad and started writing Play with Freedom. 9. I love pizza more than people.
10. I hate olives they literally make me vomit.
11. Pistachio macaroons are my all time favourite.
12. I had a dream the other night that Niall came to my house and brought me out of a great depression with a puppy and motivational quotes
13. I have a Samba teddy I sleep with every night that my boyfriend got me. awwwwwwww
14. I have loved my boyfriend since we were 18 and I sing the lyrics to the 1D song to him all the time and he just rolls his eyes.
15. I got straight A's in my last two years of university and graduated on the dean's list, I'm very proud of myself :).
16. Making hot chocolate for my boyfriend calms me down when I'm stressed. please dont remind me of my lone life...
17. Every character I've ever created shares a characteristic with me.
18. I have like 1718 ideas for stories all the time and I just want to write them all.
19. I'm very insecure about my writing and none of my family or friends have ever read anything I've written before yet they know I love to write.

20. My birthday is the same day as Liam Payne's enough is enough we r switching bodies like now
: Haha yes I have! I was watching a documentary on Netflix about astronomy and I came up with this really great story idea but I don't want to go into detail about it quiteee yet hehe. All I'll say is that it's called "Stars" and it will probs be another Harry story ;)
Haha yes, I am Gina from PWF because I literally based her life and experiences off of real things that happened to me in the past. I wrote that story to help deal with a dark part of my past so yes, I feel it was necessary to base Gina off of myself :). In terms of TCB, I'm probably most like Liam hehe.
my idols are definitely Ellen DeGeneres and Ed Sheeran. Ellen because she is so funny and charitable and just an all around amazing person that I aspire to be and Ed because he went through so much struggle trying to live his dreams and since making it, he's stayed so humble and I love that in a celebrity, he's also so adorable I love him. i wanna cuddle him..
: My inspiration is definitely my mom. I was born when she was 18 and still in high school and she found a way to work, go to school to become a very successful nurse, and raise me and my brother at the same time, all as a single parent. To me, she is the definition of success and I love her. What makes me different from others? This is hard for me to answer because I'm pretty #basic but I'd say my unique combination of sassiness, awkwardness, and ability to over think every situation is truly one of a kind.
: You should expect me to be quite awkward yet goofy at the same time... I don't know how to elaborate on that one Haha. Five things that make me go crazy: 1) slow walkers. 2) The beginning of PWF cause it's written so horribly (in my opinion) 3) when published books have spelling/grammatical errors 4) Not having enough milk for my coffee 5) my very overactive mind... salute to katie's mom, everyone !
One of the most pressing issues my generation is facing right now I believe is the ever aging population. Technology is great at prolonging life and it's so wonderful that people can live so long now, but what's going to happen when the baby boomers all get to an age when they're retiring? (Which most of them are now)? Where I live, the economy isn't very great, and a lot of people aged 65 and over aren't able to retire because they cannot afford to. This places an added restraint on my generation because it makes for fewer jobs for those of us just starting our careers. Senior's within companies are taking longer to retire, thereby pausing that hierarchical shift within businesses that usually would create more job openings at the bottom of the line. Not to mention the fact that we don't have enough retirement homes for the elderly. We're very unprepared for this large generation gap and now that I'm twenty-two and entering the workforce, I definitely feel the repercussions of it, and so do many others my age

Who would play you in a life based movie and why? - I honestly believe Emma Watson would be a great fit. I say this because she's such a fiery individual and has such tremendous passion for following her dreams and making the world a better place. I feel like Emma and I share this great energy and passion for everything we do and it would be such an honour to work alongside her in the fight for equality. emma is the best #heforshe
: My greatest strength I would have to say is my perseverance. It is very hard to get me to give up on anything (unless it involves working out which is something I'm currently working on Haha). My greatest weakness I've found in this current day in age, is the fact that I'm not fully bilingual, but I'm currently learning French so hopefully I can combat that in the near future! Personally, I'd say one of my other weaknesses is over thinking, yet at the same time, my over thoughtful mind has led me to writing and completing two novels so I guess it's not a complete weakness here.
Friends theme song. Story of my life right there.
typically I like to listen to songs that have a similar mood to the chapter I'm writing, so it usually depends. If it's more of a happy and cute chapter I usually go with 1D or some cute songs on the new album by The Fray (I really love that album and everyone should listen). If it's a sadder chapter I usually listen to something by kodaline or sometimes The Script.
Success to me equals happiness. If you're happy in all areas of life, than you've accomplished success in my eyes.
Of course! I never thought about the possibility until recently and now it's a goal of mine to eventually publish a novel within my lifetime! I love writing and I love seeing my writing improve, and being published would be such an honour!
I started writing because I wanted to deal with a part of my past and writing was the only thing I hadn't tried. My ideas can pop up anywhere and at anytime. Sometimes they are from my own experiences whilst other times music or television inspires me :).
I think she's lucky, very, very lucky. I skimmed through a lot of her story but wasn't interested enough to actually read it word for word so I probably shouldn't comment on the extent of emotional abuse towards females in the story. I think showcasing and glamorizing that topic is horrible, but I cannot attest to what Anna Todd has actually done in her writing. However, I will say that writing is a form of education, and young people especially are easily influenced.
I think it's great for them, but I personally would never want to become popular for the same reasons they have. Of course everyone deserves success, so I do think Anna and E.L James deserve it, yet I wish the media would attend to stories with much more substance and meaning whilst appreciating people with impressionable talent in the skill of writing, instead of number of sex scenes. (I've never read a word of 50 Shades, just going off what I've heard).
my favourite Disney character is Simba from The Lion King because he's so curious and adventurous. I love it. If I could switch bodies with anyone in the world I would pick like any average guy. I think it would be cool and strange to see what it's like to live in a man's shoes for one day or something. I think I could learn a lot
I love animals!! I have two dogs and I'm currently living with my boyfriend and his cat. Not a cat person, but this little guy is a cutie!
I don't know if this is weird, but I love dinosaurs. I watch documentaries and Google dinosaur stuff all. The. Time. I think I would be a palaeontologist in another life... Like Ross from Friends LOL
no. I don't because that stuff terrifies me. I once played with an Ouija board and I'm permanently scarred from it.
Had to Google what a Nostradamus prediction was... Is that he guy who predicted the whole 2012 stuff?? Cause no I don't believe in that... Although. I've always been curious about fortune tellers; I want to know how many babies I'll have... Is that weird??
The incident with Ouija board-
My hands weren't even on the thing, my friends were and we got a really bad ghost demon whatever and he wouldn't let us say goodbye and I was like omg I'm throwing this thing out and he spelled out you better not Katie and he talked about how he has been living in our house and he will continue to haunt us and it was just really freaky... Oh and he said he was beside my little brother in the living room and he was going to do something to him if we threw the Ouija out and yeah... I cried.
Well weird things started to happen in our house for a while, like things would go missing and you never really felt alone... I don't know it's hard to explain and yeah, it was just a freaky experience.
that means i shouldnt buy like i m tempted too hmm. fine..
To my readers: I cannotexpress to you how much I appreciate everything you've done for me over thepast year and a half. Not only have you helped me discover my passion, butyou've also encouraged me to keep going when I thought I couldn't anymore.Writing is hard. And with your encouragements and support, I've been able tofinish two stories and I cannot thank you enough for that. I love all of you,even if I get a bit sassy when responding to your comments, and I honestly wishI could chat and get to know every one of you
thanks a lot !!!

Choosing His Luna (bxb)
This is a story I have published on Inkitt and I thought I'd post it on here too since I've started to update it again. 😅 I hope to continue to do so although the updates will probably be only once or twice a month.The chapters are a little shorter than what I normally post on Wattpad but I hope you enjoy them all the same.‐-----------------------------The fateful day had finally arrived, the one which I had been preparing for since birth, one which my parents had been preparing for since I'd been conceived. Well, that wasn't exactly true, my parents had been preparing, and I on the other hand had been mostly unwilling with the whole affair. See I was a werewolf, my whole family was, or pack if you will. It was tradition for all those of marriageable age to gather on the strongest werewolf pack in the world, to try and impress the next Alpha to be, the most powerful werewolf in the world. It was a major honour to be chosen by the Alpha, for the individual and their whole pack. So here I was, packing a bag for the journey and time I would be spending at the strongest pack in the world, which was called the Stentorian Pack and was located deep in the mountains surrounded by forest. My parents thought I had a chance, they'd told me what to eat, how to act, and how to look all my life, needless to say, it had gotten old pretty quick. All the lack of control I'd had over my life had boiled down to this day, it had all been for this day. I had to be the most attractive, smartest, and likeable... you get the idea, and I couldn't help but feel inadequate.
