What should you expect if you met me...I'm shy, and socially awkward when I first meet people, but as I get to know you, I come out of my shell. I like to make people laugh, I'm fluent in sarcasm and I tend to smile a lot but inside I'm really nervous. I think the most important thing to know about me is that it takes time for me to be completely comfortable around you :)
The best thing a stranger has done for me is probably holding the door out for me. I find cute little gestures like that are really nice and I always thank people for them. The gift I most want depends. A physical gift would probably be something like a state of the art camera. I really want one of those! A wish gift though, would be to end world suffering :) aww you are such a sweetheart !
I entered the writing world when I was very young- probably through my love of bedtime stories. I used to read bedtime stories to my little sister when I was smaller, but she preferred it when I made up stories for her, so I started doing that more! My mum is a teacher- she'd set me little story challenges, and encourage my love of reading. I guess my love for writing started there!
I'm definitely a writer at heart. I daydream my way through 90% of life, and I do tend to have pretty heightened emotions. I love people watching, and learning about people. That's mine tooJ
My hobbies are writing and reading (pretty obvious), designing, playing guitar and generally being on the internet. My favorite color is mint green, movie is Gone in Sixty Seconds, food is chocolate and music artist is Taylor Swift. I hate sand, bananas, overly dramatic people and chores.
20 fun filled, dark and unknown facts about me:
My middle name is Jade. (Jade thirwall huh ;) or whatever her last name is ;)
I am the oldest of three sisters. I am 16, and I have sisters aged 13 and 2. (war of sisters?)
hate my nose with a burning passion. If you ever met me in public, you'll probably notice that I tend to cover it in photos, or when cute guys walk past. It's one of the things I'd change about myself if I could.
(get a surgery!)
used to have severe allergies to nuts and shellfish: I could die if I was exposed to them. Miraculously, those allergies disappeared and I'm now only allergic to peanuts.
I love celebrities, music etc. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a fangirl over anything BUT characters from movies and books and Dylan O'Brien.
once watched an entire box set of Friends in 3 weeks. That's 236 episodes, just so you know, each 22 minutes long. That is 5196 minutes spent staring at a screen. 86.53 hours.
(*mouth drops* now that's known as a maths geek people)!
terrified of spiders and basically any kind of bug. Apart from that- I'm not really afraid of anything. Clowns? Nope. Heights? Hell no- I love them. Snakes? We'll move onto that. (*shudders*)
I have a pet snake. His name is Alfie, and I love him. (*stares at you in bewilderment* remind me never ever to visit you for a dinner, I might end up becoming one!. One small question does your little baby snake bite people ? )
I sometimes have panic attacks. I'd prefer not to go into those yet.
spend hours agonizing over ideas I have for my books, terrified that they aren't good enough for my audience. I have a bad tendency to compare any ideas I have to my first book, because it was so successful. Always remember you you have to come out of your comfort zone to write !

I have pretty bad hayfever. My dream used to be to ride horses, and I took classes. Unfortunately, I was allergic to them and I had to stop.
I used to have very bad eczema when I was little, from about the age of 12 weeks to 12 years. I hated it so much, I thought it made me the ugliest child in the world, and I prayed for it to get better. It has now, and I'm no longer ashamed of showing my skin.
I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to pain. I whine about every head ache, stomach ache and sore spot I have. Aww everyone does that !
I recently got my belly button pierced. I'm in love with it.
I lost my hearing for a few months (not completely- just enough for people to have to speak quite loudly in order for me to hear them). It was humiliating, and exhausting. People laughed at my expense and teased me about it. I felt so left out.
Oh my dear how did that happen !
I love planning out my stories before I write them, chapter by chapter. It sounds boring, but it's actually one of my favorite parts of writing a book, because I can decide every little detail. To me, it's sort of like playing Sims. You design your characters, and plan out their lives.
When I'm older, I hope to be something in the movie business. My dream is to live in L.A. looking forward to the movies babe!!
I trust people very easily. I'm quite sensitive and I tend to be hurt because of my easy trust issues. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, which is sometimes a bad thing.]
I'm a good girl. I got 100% in all of my English Coursework (Literature and Language), I've never sent a nude in my life and I do all of my homework. My target grades are all A*'s. Sometimes though, that gets tiring. Sometimes I want to be the party girl, that's confident speaking to guys and standing up to teachers. Don't tell my mum I said that. Me too! , we all are good girls and all of us so want to break the rules for once!
I like personal space and privacy. I wouldn't say I'm an introvert or an extrovert though: I like time to myself, and social time.
Wattpad has changed my life completely. It's pressurized having so many followers, definitely, but I love it so much and I'm so grateful. When TBBSMB hit one million votes, I couldn't breathe. I just can't believe there's so many of you out there reading my stories and LIKING them. I used to have very little confidence in my writing. My ideas are random, and in the case of TBBSMB, unplanned. I come up with the titles first :)
I don't have a name for my readers, but it would be so cool if I could! I would tell them that I love them all for how happy they've made me, and not to give up on their own writing!
?
I'm having an 8 week hiatus now, and hopefully coming back with an awesome story after summer! I love writing with all of my heart, whether it will become any more than just a hobby, we'll have to see! I don't think I'll ever stop writing, whether I become a published author one day or not! I definitely agree with that statement, because I think that if a writer does fall in love with you, you can become their inspiration. You'll live on in every word they write, because you are the person that ignites that writer's flame :)

I don't believe in ghosts. I like to think that there's spirits that look down on us, but I'm a "if I see it, I believe it" kind of person. I can't believe anything just because someone else tells me it exists.
It's hard to imagine my stories, written late at night in my bedroom, inspire and help other people, but I've been told that they do. I've had a few messages thanking me for the smile I put on their faces with my words, and that I brighten people's day with my updates. It makes me feel amazing whenever people say that. To think that I've brought laughter to someone, or a smile, just with my words...it's an awesome feeling. It would be amazing to write for a social cause: I've considered writing about body image, simply because it's something which matters so much to me and it's something I wish didn't hurt me as much as it has. I want people to feel beautiful. Maybe in the future, that will be my aim :)
pt2: I plan to make the best of my life, by doing the things that scare me and taking the opportunities that set my heart racing. I want to live without regrets, as cheesy as it sounds.
: I would tell my younger self to stop worrying about what others think. I would also tell her to change her haircut. Writing block, I like to cure by spending a few days away from the issue and coming back to it with a fresh mind, rather than agonizing over it. As for updating regularly, it's just a matter of fulfilling your promise to your readers. Make a schedule for yourself, and be realistic. Don't set an update for each day, if you get bored easily and don't want to write on some nights. It's nicer to update earlier, than to leave your readers hanging.
pt2: The best thing in this world is people. The worst thing in this world is also people. The best things are brought about by our minds, and our hearts. We create things, we love one another, we care for animals and we imagine our futures. The worst things are brought about people who take the world for granted. Greediness, stupidity and a lack of respect for this Earth and it's inhabitants: whether animals or humans, and their resources. My weirdest habit is raising the pitch of my voice when I'm in denial. I turn into a mouse, I swear
Probably Taylor Swift, just because she has a very pretty face, and I love her music now, even if I don't in the future.
pt2: Recreate the world, definitely. I actually think it would be cool if humans could start over- that way we could erase all of our mistakes :) As much as I love food, I'm gonna say true love, because if it is true love then my partner will feed me. And totally vampire all the way- life would be so much more interesting that way!
: I think what makes a good description is the hook at the end. You can't just provide a basic summary of the plot, because that won't draw in anyone! You have to tell them that there's something they don't know, something that they need to find out. It's the hook at the end of a description that draws people in :) A cover definitely matters, because it's the first thing people see about your book. The better the cover, the better people assume your writing will be. That's just the way it is- we humans are judge-mental. I guess some might argue that it doesn't matter, because it has no influence over plot etc, but the truth is that as long as a cover is showing- it does have an impact on a reader and helps them decide whether or whether not to click on a story :)
Pt2: Ooh, that's difficult. True Love, I think, because if I do ever meet the man of my dreams then he'll be my best friend anyway, and he'll give me food, so I get all three with that option.
I'm not really sure what makes me a unique reader- other than I think everybody's taste in books is different: their favorites etc. The most important things in my life are my family and friends (for obvious reasons) and honestly, I think wattpad. It's made me so happy, and it's got me through some pretty tough times.
pt 2 : Yeah I definitely believe in that, because I don't think you'll ever know what's around the next corner of your life. I think you should expect to be shocked at certain events. That's just how life works.
: I'm not sure which of my stories you are referring to, but I planned them in the same way. I usually come up with the title first. Then I make a list of ideas on plot, and just chapter ideas I have for the story. My next step is to order them into roughly what the book is going to be about, and decide the number of chapters. I also decide characters and settings around this point: using online character quizzes to develop them, and make sure that I know them inside out. Finally, I go into intense chapter by chapter descriptions of what's going to happen. I try to include plot twists for other characters, not just the main ones too.
A really dramatic moment in my life? Probably when my baby sister was born, two years ago. That was huge, dramatic and pretty scary but also one of the most amazing experiences.
pt 2: Ooh gosh, that's so difficult! I think I'd go with family. As much as they infuriate me sometimes, I love them to bits, and they're always supporting me and keeping me safe. I'd choose them, because I can't imagine life without them. I'd obviously prefer to have both though!
I'd definitely prefer to do my passion, even if it means leaving everything behind. I've always been more of a person who isn't afraid to leave home, to ditch everything spontaneously and follow my dreams, rather than to linger behind. I figure, if you have one life, you should do what you love.
Good question! I'd quite like to read a really good werewolf book, preferably with romance. I am reading one currently, but it hasn't been finished, and it's slowly killing me waiting. Something like that- a really original supernatural romance.
As a book, I think I'd be Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison. I'm really awkward and embarrassing, just like Georgia! As a car, I'd be a volkswagen pale blue convertible beetle. I am OBSESSED with those cars. As a country, I think I'd be the UK, just because I'm born and bred here, and it would be a little weird if I said another country. As for a newly discovered animal, I would be the Caqueta monkey. It's small (as am I), adorable (as am I, tbh, aha just kidding) and it's known for purring like a cat (just like how I pretend to be more confident in front of strangers).
pt 2: My self esteem and pet peeves...Well my self esteem is practically non existent on most days, excluding my writing. My biggest pet peeve is probably when people chew with their mouths open. That kind of disgusts me.

Ren looked at Wen and felt somewhat hopeful. "Well, will President Wen will get mad at me if I indeed like you?" "Well, please stop that! I don't like men! And I feel disgusted with boy to boy, so it may be hurtful, but I'll never like you." "Well, so, that's why President Wen tried to avoid me? Did you feel uncomfortable?". "Well, yeah, because who wouldn't be like me?" "But I didn't do anything wrong or did I cross over the line, right?" "I guess so." "Since that's the case, we can still be friends, right?" "But... won't you get hurt?" "Well, that's should be my problem, right? And besides, I'm also happy when I'm together with you." Is it possible for those two to end up together? Or just be friends as Wen said?
