《Wattpad Block Party - Summer Edition IV》oceanwaved Presents: A Q&A with Hannah!
Advertisement
Hey everyone! I'm Hannah, also known as on Wattpad. This is my second year participating in the Wattpad Block Party, and I'm just as excited (and honored) to be here as the first time. A HUGE thank you to for dedicating so much of her time to and for hosting this amazing event!
Before I dive into my post, I'm going to further introduce myself since just a name might not be enough. On Wattpad, I'm a graphic designer (using Pixlr, Polarr, and Photoshop CS6), a writer (usually in the genres General Fiction, Action, and/or Fantasy), and a reader (obviously). Outside of Wattpad, I'm a high-schooler, and some of my hobbies (excluding reading, writing, and designing) include dancing, playing card games, watching Chinese drama, listening to music, and looking at memes on Facebook.
For my Block Party post, I've decided to do a Q&A, as you can probably tell from the chapter title. Throughout the month of June, I asked some of my friends and followers to ask questions so that I can answer them in my post.
All right, here we go!
A: As of June 29th, 2018, I have been using Photoshop CS6 for a little bit over a month now. In my opinion, the transition from Pixlr to PS CS6 was relatively easy, mainly due to the similarities between the two graphic programs. I was, however, confused on some of the PS features and had to search tutorials up on the web. If you find Photoshop to be too difficult, don't give up! Perhaps it's a good idea to use Pixlr first (Pixlr is free anyway) or just dedicating ten minutes every day to learning something new.
Honestly, I still struggle with this every day, and this isn't just about writing. It's about graphic design too.
When I'm dealing with writer's block, music usually helps me undergo the struggle, especially if the lyrics are somewhat related to the story plot. Reading other stories are also inspiring, as long as you don't copy the work! There's still a fine line between being inspired and plagiarizing. As for the doubt and insecurities, I always have to remind myself that I'm writing for myself, for my own enjoyment, and not for anybody else. As cliche as it sounds, always write from your heart.

To be honest, it's a mixture between "what describes my story in the least amount of words possible" and "what title looks/will look good on a cover". Always try to make your titles adequately describe your work and able to catch the reader's attention when they're browsing through the millions of Wattpad books.
I feel like I don't go on Wattpad that much anymore. Motivation to create anything is draining out of me. Typically, I would spend a few minutes in the morning just going through my notifications. In the afternoon, I would respond to the messages. And the cycle repeats.
Know what you should reveal to the public and what you shouldn't. Obviously, on your profile, you shouldn't put "Hi. My social security information is ____________. Oh, and my address is _____________." You never know who might be reading your profile right now and trying to garner information about you.
If I could go back to when I first started Wattpad, I wouldn't have revealed my age to others. That's just my opinion though.
I'm currently on a break from writing, sorry! In the past, I didn't plan anything out. I just wrote stuff, I guess, based on what I was thinking about when I was writing.
I love writing fantasy, general fiction, action, and spiritual stories, although most of them aren't that good. Well, whatever. As for reading, teen fiction, romance, and mystery/thriller are my favorite genres. I've just started to read more supernatural works though.
Oof, taking a walk down memory lane, are we? It was called "Diving Into Tragedy", and it was a science fiction book that I never finished. Whoops.
My first usernames were so embarrassing that I'm not even going to put them on here. I don't want to ruin this Block Party with my eccentric usernames, but if you really want to know, just private message me LOL!

On Wattpad, some of my favorite books include Once Upon a One Night Stand by , All Started With A Dare by , The Other CEO by , and The Girl In Black by .
Off Wattpad, my favorite books are The Fault In Our Stars by John Green, the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard, and The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West.
That's it for the Q&A! If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask in the comments below, or if you want, my inbox is always open to questions, as long as they're not follow or reading requests. I really hope that you enjoyed reading through this post. Apologies if it was kinda boring.
Hope y'all have a fantastic day or night, depending on where you live!
