Advertisement
Hello, my name is Bree and I'm currently in high school. I am from Texas, USA. I absolutely adore writing, reading, and watching YouTube/Netflix. I'm really into music as well; alternative and pop music are my life. The Neighbourhood is my favorite band, that's something about me haha. I participate in a lot of school activities when school is in session... I like binge watching shows till I pass out from exhaustion... Okay, that's everything I can think of about me. *J*
Hilarity. I like to think that I'm funny so I would probably crack some jokes and say a few puns if I met you to be honest. I can be awkward, but so can everybody... I'm pretty sarcastic, so expect humorously intended sarcastic remarks. You can expect humor, awkwardness, and a pinch of sarcasm from me if you meet me. Hopefully I answered that question semi-correctly.
My username (beautifultragedies) became a thing because of the book "Beautiful Creatures" film adaptation announcement and the song "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" (was like one of my favorite songs); I kind of just squished those two titles together and hoped for the best
I joined Wattpad over three years ago because I saw somebody on Instagram mention the site. I initially made my account for reading fan fiction, but then started writing.
My experience has been pretty good; it's definitely had its ups and downs
Writing, reading, playing The Sims, baking/cooking, playing board games, participating in the fine arts, and etc.
Both my pinkies are crooked and have been since birth,I like olivesI've never been to a musician/bands concert,I wear jeans in the summerI don't like peanut butter or jelly, I played the flute for like three yearsI almost failed advanced Algebra 2,My childhood dream was to be a ballerinaI can't get into "Pretty Little Liars" for some reason, I adore Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris togethernever gone outside of the country,I can't ever sleep the night before a long distance trip,I'm good at cramming) I have a noticeably larger leg as to where my jeans/shoes feel tighter and it's annoyingI love the number sixteenI'm a TaurusI get emotionally attached to fictional charactersI can't dance or sing
didn't like writing until a few years ago.
I don't know exactly what's next for me on Wattpad to be completely honest; I have a lot of ideas and plans though. I have a few new books out now, "The Heartbreak Hotel" and "French Kisses" and I'm super excited to write them.
Sneak Peek for THH:
"I would be a liar if I told you that I didn't feel anything while kissing you," I tell him, his gray eyes stare intensely at me, indicating that every word I would possibly say is of great importance to him.
I look down at my hands twiddling in my lap, I was beyond nervous and didn't want things to go completely astray. It was only month three of living in France and I had already managed to find myself in a puzzling predicament between a Parisian and myself.
Perhaps telling him that I felt a spark between us was foolish and a bad move on my part, but honestly at this moment in time it felt like the most right thing on earth to do, even if I was taken.

I'm not a liar; I'm not a fake. I tell as I please and hope to please as I tell. Maybe getting this off my chest would lead to a quicker falling out of attraction; maybe he would gently shoot me down knowing of the circumstances and wish to remain friends.
But, he doesn't shoot me down; he only leads me to believe of possibility and leads me towards a path of further infatuation. "And I would be a liar if I told you that I'm not falling for you."
I don't particularly like all the spammers, haters, and occasional app/website issues...
I see myself still writing, probably not on Wattpad but whenever I can. I mean I would love to be a published author then, but I don't know aha. The future is so uncertain.
you killed me with the sneek peek literally L*
I joined the world of creation because I've always been fascinated by it and wanted to be part of something out of the norm, I guess I joined it by writing my first book.
My first piece of literature I wrote on Wattpad was a fanfic titled "The Fighter" I think. Haha. It was an interesting type of deal; I just unpublished it last year. My first piece of literature ever was a book I wrote in the fourth grade about my dog.
And to the last question, I'm going to have to say no. I mean everything happens for a reason and there's been no harm in what I've written. I mean sure I cringe sometimes at my writing, but that's all right.
It means that you have a passion for a language, want to express yourself through words, and are always looking for an adventure of sort, or something like that... I mean that's what it means to me.
And yes, I would very much consider myself to be a writer at heart now. I get so emotionally invested in my books and unselfconsciously am always thinking about writing.
Nails against cardboard or any scraping sounds, half-opened doors, and texting in movie theaters.
Obsessions: The Neighbourhood, Friends, and YouTube haul/vlog videos.
Habits: Going to sleep really late on school nights is my bad, opening doors for others is my good.
Wishes/Desire: Graduate high school and college, travel overseas, and to be financially sound.
Love, Rosie" made an impression on me, it inspired me to begin writing my #JustWriteIt piece.
As far as my answer for the second question... Hm, I don't know.
Good descriptions are the ones that make the reader think and want more. Anything eye-catching is usually good.
Honestly, I have to admit, I do like a nice cover. It's not the most important thing in the world for me, but I tend to be attracted (that sounds weird) to books with nice covers.
Well, I write pretty cliché books and have a book titled "Bad Boy's Game" so I should say that they're great... They're great.
Haha, but really I do like books with bad boys if they're done nicely, I love myself a dose of bad in books. However, I don't read werewolf books because they often confuse me.
I can't write horror, that's a thing. My best genre is probably romance, but like not the hardcore version of romance, the lighthearted cutesy version.

I do think a story writes its own ending in a way, I mean when you get really into the writing of a book an ending shapes out based on characters and all.
Keeping readers interested, even in filler chapters.
This is weird, but the excessive use of exclamation points makes stories less interesting for me. It makes me feel like I'm being yelled.
*Removes all exclamation marks from the interview*
Bad Boy's Game. Why? Hm, probably because it's had a bit of success and living up to it all is quite stressful.
The best compliments I get are on my book "Cigarette Daydream" and the worst are on "Bad Boy's Game" but I can't pinpoint one particular good/bad. Any positive compliment is a good one. I don't have an official name for my "fans" and readers; in my head I don't even have fans because that's insane to think about.
It's the best and worst. I certainly don't mind people enjoying my work and wanting more, in fact it kind of motivates/forces me to write, but when I get update requests that come off a bit rude... It upsets me a bit.
It took me probably over two and a half years to get relatively "popular" on Wattpad. It wasn't until Winter 2014 that I started getting active readers and a higher reading count. A lot of people tend to ask me how I got so many reads and I never quite have an answer. It sort of just happened to be honest. It's been a great experience though.
Music really inspires me; a good tune can surely make my creativity run wild.
I have an all right self-esteem, if that makes any sense, but it's getting higher because of Wattpad and because of the activities I do in the school year.
Comments/votes drive me; they remind me to keep on writing.
My favorite book is "Slow Dancing" by hepburnettes.
I would go all Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Twitches, or Twilight on everything.
I really want to write a dystopian sort of deal, a trilogy. That would be so much fun to write and out of my comfort zone.
I want to read an alternate ending to The Hunger Games series. This probably exists somewhere, but yeah.
I don't really believe in supernatural creatures, but unicorns are definitely real haha. Why don't I believe in the supernatural? Well, because most supernatural creatures honestly scare me and I don't want to live in fear. A
Name them namuh and live a My Little Ponies inspired lifestyle.
Save, even though our current world is very flawed and is going through hardships, I would like to save families and all the good. I don't think recreating would be the best choice; you would lose what progress we already have made and it would be like starting from Plus, I want to be like Superman.
Fly. I'm like a bird; I'll only fly away... (song reference)
Royalty, how cool would that be? I could sing Lorde's song.
Who do you think has harder job?
Published, being a published writer has to be a ton of work. I mean it takes a ton of work just to get noticed, let alone noticed by a publishing house. They're expected to have nearly perfect writing because they're published and get critic reviews; also they have schedules and meetings. That's some hardcore stuff...
fancy sitting room, when through a door on my right, archer west enters, let me tell you readers that guy is a walking greek god, is he a demigod? I really need to blink twice to stay awake and not faint
and continue the interview**
A good person, definitely. I'm a teenage heartthrob and a self-entitled badass. I'm pretty cool and funny, sarcastic is something I also am.
Good looks, nice smile, dazzling teeth, striking blue eyes, and a charming personality. Why? Well, because I'm Archer West.
I like to fix cars in my free time, my number one hobby other than lounging around. Some personal favorites of mine are alternative music, the color grey, and macaroni.
Let's say I have no weaknesses other than seeing people cry. My strengths are pretty much everything else.
Deepest desire? Hm, well for my mom to make it through her treatment and kick cancer's ass.
I like to cook, don't know if that counts as a secret hobby. But, I'll go with it.
Good habit, opening doors for people. Bad habit, keeping information from people who deserve to know.
High self-esteem, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Pet peeves? Well, I'm not really into cheaters.
I have pretty good people in my life; my family and friends are generally great people. I don't like to let in too many people, but like the ones I've let in.
Personal favorite people? My cousins Sofia and Luca are little energetic bundles of joy, they make me smile and keep me young. My mom is wonderful, too. She's just simply the best and makes not having a dad present manageable. Zac's all right, too. He's a favorite I guess, I mean he's my best friend and would be pissed if I didn't include him.
Elliot Grey, she's quite something and would definitely make a month locked up interesting. I would like to get to know her better and hear her wisecrack remarks.
It's in my DNA I guess, genetic. My father was an asshole, a player, and a jerk so I guess I got it all from him.
Also, I don't want to get hurt. Being an asshole, player, and jerk keeps me from being completely vulnerable.
True, I think the statement's true. Why? Well, because it's not normal for one to be a heartbreaker with no back-story. Every good heartbreaker has been heartbroken.
I've watched so many poorly filmed horror films; they kind of ruined all of the above for me.
Grey? Hm. She's definitely something, but kind of weird. She wasn't in love with me upon first sight... She's beautiful, just a little bit sarcastic though. I think she's got a solid future and knows what she wants in life and isn't willing to compromise. She's actually pretty great from what I know...
Captain America, Superman, and Iron Man are all pretty cool. They're superb heroes and are portrayed to be such cool characters.
Idols? Well, I don't know. I'm not super into pop culture and idolizing people.
