Author : charliegotcaught

Q: When did you first join Wattpad?
A: My first account on Wattpad was made in November 2014, but it was only for reading at that time. I started writing, in this account, around February 2015.
Q: What inspired your plot for Babysitting The Bad Boy's Little Sister?
A: Hm... They ask me a lot this question, and every time I seem to be giving a different answer haha. I think that the books I had previously read - which are millions - inspired me a lot, but also situations of real life and dreams/plans I have made with my loved ones.
Q: When did you realize you were on your way to getting millions of views?
A: Well, as I said before, I started writing in February 2015. I had only written three chapters, when I decided to stop. Nobody was showing interest and I was really disappointed. I logged out of this account and went back to my first one. Some day in June 2016, while searching my library (on Wattpad), I came across a familiar-looking book. It had over like some thousand views and when I checked the name of the author, it was me! I didn't want to disappoint whoever had read my story, so I just started writing again. And you know the rest...
Q: For your #FYDC , are you looking for a specific thing in all of the entries? Like good grammar, great covers, etc..
A: Although I believe that when you love something, like writing a book, you have to make it as good as possible, I don't expect from anybody to have the best cover. I don't have the best covers either. As for the grammar part, I know it's difficult to write in English for the people who their first language isn't English. I don't mind mistakes; they exist even in the best books. I just want what is written to be understandable.
Q: Did you ever imagine yourself as a popular author on here?
A: No way, haha! But I don't even consider myself as a popular author either. All my friends who read Wattpad, are like "Oh my god, look at your followers! And your views, wow!", but I don't think I'm "popular".
Q: Did you ever think BTBLS would make it as big as it did?
A: I always wished for my books to become, as you said, big, and everyone to enjoy reading them, but I never expected it to happen.
Q: At what age did you realize that writing was your passion?
A: Writing became my passion this summer. All the comments, the love and the admiration my readers were showing towards me, made me love even more what I do. I tried my best, and when I completed my first book, I wanted to write more, and more, and more.
Q: Do you listen to music when writing? Has any song ever inspired a book and or character?
A: Although I love listening to music, I don't always listen to it when I'm writing. Actually, it depends on the scene. If I am writing a romantic and cheesy scene, I always listen to, for example, Ellie Goulding. Or when I am writing about a betrayal or a break up scene, I listen to Taylor Swift. Sometimes music is so "loud" that I can't concentrate on my ideas, so I turn it off. One song that has inspired me to write a book is "I'm Still Growing Up" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Ed Sheeran. Basically, it's a dad singing to his son, but for some reason, it inspired me a lot.

Q: What is your favorite quote? That you've written or read from somewhere
A: "Whatever you dream of doing one day, don't give up on that dream because you never know where it can take you" - Demi Lovato
Q: What is your favorite book of all time?
A: I really really love "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks. It's so amazing, and inspiring, not only for my books, but also in my life. Um, but also on Wattpad, an all time favourite book of mine is "The Bad Boy In Pajamas" by MagicTrixx
Q: What was the book that inspired you to start writing?
A: I wouldn't say it was only one... All the "bad boy" books made my imagination so wild, that I formed an entire book.

Q: What genre do you find overdone/cliche?
A: I don't think that any genre is overdone. Every person has his/her own preferences. I just don't really like thrillers, because I am kind of scared.
Q: And finally, do you have any advice for all us struggling authors out here trying to make it on Wattpad?
A: Just Follow Your Dreams! If writing is your true love, keep writing. One day you will become popular. Wattpad is here to give, people like us, the opportunity to show the world our passion, to share our ideas and feel great when exchanging opinions. Don't give up, because I believe in you!

Okay, so I just want to thank charliegotcaught for letting me do this! As I said, she is one of the most down to Earth people there is! I absolutely love her attitude and agree with a lot of what she says!
If you haven't already, I highly recommend you check out some of her work or join her #FYDC!
I am now done fangirling, and hope you guys enjoyed this interview as much as we did!
Much love!
