So i'm back and if you are wondering why am i late just click on the previous note.
Today we have another wonderful author who is literally living the dream of fiction!!!! without further ado (like flash :
normal: answers
ialics= my opinions
Jada: My name is Jada, I'm 25, and I'm a writer on Wattpad! Yay!
Part2: State random yet interesting facts about you and your characters?
Hmm, well... My main character, Tyler, is a mash-up between Justin Bieber and Harry Styles. Oh! Also! A'keem, is based off of a real person – an up-and-coming rapper who my husband happens to be best friend's with! Story of my life!!!

Jada: I actually chose my username from one of my favorite Shakespearean plays – Othello. There's this amazing scene where Desdemona is begging Othello for her life. She says "Kill me tomorrow, let me live tonight". It's symbolizes every emotion I put into Wattpad, and my writing, and I just knew it was perfect for my username.
And if you ever meet me, I'm a nice person! I sound a little sarcastic in my bio on my profile, but don't let it fool you!
Jada: Hmm, turno-offs... I don't like rudeness – but that's about it. As long as they're nice, I love meeting people out of the blue.
Jada: I joined Wattpad after I read a few blogs and articles that had been written about the website. It seemed really interesting, and I was looking for a way of sharing my writing. And to me, writing is mostly an escape. It takes me away from my problems, gives me some time to get lost in a world outside of my own – and I really love that.
Jada: I started writing when I was really young – maybe elementary school, but I didn't get serious about it until about two years ago. I started writing because I loved reading and I figured, hey, why not write my own books too? I would definitely love to make a career out of it – mostly so that I can take care of my family, and share my writing with the world.
Jada: My hobbies are writing and doing puzzles. My favorite things are pistachio ice cream, piercings, and tattoos, and two things I hate are cooked carrots and driving on the highway. My passions (besides writing) are my family, and being a good mom, and one day, I dream about my books turning into tv shows!
Jada: A lot of Tyler's personality comes from my husband. Turns out, when you marry a reformed bad boy, they give you lots of materials for your writing. Also, the title of my book, War Zones and Paradise, comes from Zayn's Malik's Pillowtalk. That song totally symbolizes Tyler and Aaliyah's relationship, so of course I had to use it for the book. Actually, a lot of the book is influenced by music. Sometimes I'll hear a song and it'll inspire me to add a whole new scene.

Jada: and are two Wattpad authors who have really inspired my writing. My favorite genres to write in are romance and paranormal (that includes vampires, werewolves, witches, etc). My non-favorite genre would be sci-fi (just because I'm not very good writing about science-y stuff) – but I will definitely read it.
Jada: You know me so well! My recipe – one killer smile, two v-cuts, add three cups of personality and three more for brains. Sprinkle that with several dirty jokes... and by golly we've got a five-course meal AND dessert! Damn I want this dinner now!
Jada: If I won a game-show, I NEED a vacation. Preferably, Disney Land because, sadly, I've never been. And if I had a magic phone, I'm calling Ian Somerhalder, Shonda Rhimes, and that girl from third-grade who stole my Giga Pet. Yeah, I STILL want that back, Brittany!
Jada: I'm the most proud of my kids. They're the most beautiful things I've ever done. Doesn't get much better than that! That accounts for a big awwwww
Jada: My favorite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast. I think Belle is amazing, and I have a thing for bad boys, so of course I love rooting for the Beast. Come on lady stop making the kids jealous here.. . lol
Jada: Princess Tiana is my favorite because of her awesome personality, and Aladdin, because he is way too adorable to even exist.
Jada: Princess, Tiana, definitely. I channel her every day. She has the drive, and the passion, and the kick-butt attitude that every girl needs!
Jada: Welllllllll, if it were an alternate universe in which my current husband (and Ian Somerhalder) didn't exist, I would marry Aladdin. He's so sweet, and charming, and plus who wouldn't want to go on a magic carpet ride???
Jada: The home of my dreams is a lovely mansion, on private property, in a gated neighborhood. I'm seeing lots of roses, high ceilings, and chandeliers. I'm also seeing a terribly expensive electricity bill, but, alas, we take the bad with the good. Believe me the bad is always good ... ignore my creepy attempt at poetry.
Jada: Though I don't have a name for my readers and fans, I would like to say how much I adore each and every single one of them for supporting me. Your comments brighten my day, and every follow puts a smile on my face – so thank you very much! One day, when I'm published, I'll have you to thank. You guys have shaped my Wattpad experience, and my writing, in more ways than you know. I heart you!

Jada: I definitely think the bad boy – good girl romances exists in real life. It's not always as dramatic as in books, but it definitely happens. Sweet girls are always being swept off their feet by mischievous boys. I was! And honestly, I have nothing against clichés. The entertainment industry runs on clichés, so bad boy books will never go out of style. The trick is to keep them fresh, by continuously telling old stories in different ways. Add plot twists, dynamic characters, and a great storyline – and it won't matter how cliché the story is. Great advice as always.
Jada: I created the characters for a romance writing competition on Wattpad. Sadly, I didn't win, but I did get to write an amazing story because of it. That story was called Ribbons and Pieces, which is actually the prequel to War Zones and Paradise. And Tyler is actually a mash-up of Justin Bieber and Harry Styles. He was my excuse to pretend-dabble in fanfiction, and I made him complex because I wanted him to seem as authentic as possible. He's definitely book-boyfriend material!
Jada: Hmm. I don't know that I believe anything overly bizarre, except that Elena and Stefan were NEVER soulmates. Does that count?
Jada: While I'm writing, I usually play music. It just gets me in the zone, and helps me stay relaxed. And my tips for new writers would be to focus solely on what YOU want to write. Don't worry about what's cliché, or trendy, or popular. Whatever words you've got stuck inside your head, write them down first and worry about them later.
Jada: I love characters that are interesting, funny, and flawed. I'm a sucker for a good villain who isn't?
Jada: Hero, definitely–just because it's the right thing to do, y'know? Though I won't lie, villains have waaaaaay more fun...
Jada: I've discovered that the best descriptions give a reader a taste of the book, without giving away every little part of the plot. And though covers aren't always a true representation of the book, the better the cover the higher the chances of it being clicked on. Personally, I always try to make the best covers I can. And as for the factors I need in order to begin reading a book – mostly grammar. And the right genre. If it's a poorly written historical fiction, I'll pass. If it's a beautifully written teen fic–now we're talkin'!
Jada: I vote when I think about it. A lot of times I'll read a good book and be so absorbed that I forget to, but I usually vote for any books that I sit down to read. I think every writer deserves votes. Writing is tough!
15
Jada: I do a lot of daydreaming! I also like to randomly make up characters and put them in crazy what-if situations.
Jada: Hmmm. If I were stuck in a different timeline, I would love to go back to the 90's. I was a 90's kid, and that's when cartoons were at their absolute best.
Jada: Any emojis that depict sarcasm, and angst. We just roll that way ; ) What makes me super insecure? Comparing myself to other writers. What makes me confident? Knowing that I have potential
Jada: I relate to Aaliyah the most. We have a lot of the same personality traits, and we both make impulsive decisions, rushing into things when we should think and wait instead.
pt2
Jada: My favorite television show is Absolutely Fabulous. My favorite book is The Hobbit, and my favorite catchphrase is Holy sh*t. I know. It's a TERRIBLE habit, and I don't condone cursing. But it's my favorite. And I say it A LOT.
18
Jada: Usually, the hardest thing for me is keeping my plot from spinning out of control (because I tend to have lots of little subplots going on beneath the main action), and sometimes I have trouble remember to tie them all together. When it comes to my endings, honestly, they usually just work themselves out. I don't always know how I'm going to end a book when I start it, but by the last few chapters the characters have already told me.
19.
I would go for the bad boy. All the way. I mean, good boys are adorable (of course), but personally, I need that streak of darkness that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Jada: Creating romance interests comes easily to me, probably because I have so much fun doing it. And the most complicated character I have ever read is... Harry Potter. No joke. I watched him turn from a little boy to a grown man. We basically grew up together.

He said softly. I examined them, seeing how some had some white parts and some were free of the black specks."I like these a lot." He smiled. He brought one to my lips and I bit into it. It was very different from the others. Much less sweet."These ones match your eyes, don't they? Your pretty green eyes." He said to me, wiping away more of my tears while I was too distracted by the explosion of flavour in my mouth.I rubbed my irritated eyes and he fed me another kiwi slice. It tasted good but it made my body shiver a little from the little sting it had in its taste."Is it too sour? Sorry about that." He chuckled, gently raking his fingers through my hair as I relaxed a little.I wanted more. I liked kiwi."You want more?" He asked me.I looked at the kiwi and then at him. He really, really wanted me to talk. He fed me the rest of the kiwi pieces even though he hadn't gotten an answer from me and then he smiled."All done." He said to me, brushing my hair away from my face with a smile.
