Q&A - The answers *YAY*
The Bad Boy Cares? | Completed √
I think the title speaks for itself, so let's get on with this :) Thank you for all of the questions! :)
How old are you?
I'm 17 and I'll be turning 18 on January 14th (YAY! I'll finally won't be a baby anymore in my country).
Are you a boy or a girl?
I am a girl :)
Where are you from?
I'm from the Netherlands, so I'm Dutch. Not that exciting if I must say haha.
Voor de andere Nederlanders hier, haaaiii! Dankje voor het lezen van mijn boek haha. Zie hoe origineel dit weer, sorry haha.
What colour is your hair?
Some might say it's literally white, but I like to call it light blonde haha. I've always had really light hair and I used to hate it, but now I kinda like it, yay!
What's the weirdest food combo you love?
I do not know why, but this question was the hardest for me to answer... I think it's either pancakes with cheese spread (but I don't really know if that is actually weird, in the Netherlands it isn't that common I guess) or chocolate with more chocolate?
What is my favourite place?
I can't choose. I suck at making decisions... If I really, really had to choose, I think I would choose either be my sport club or my room. See, that's what I mean, I just can't make a decision *face palm*.
Sandals with socks or shoes without socks?
Definitely shoes without socks *no hate to those who would choose sandals with socks, wear whatever the hell you want to wear*.
What's your favourite Wattpad story right now?
My favourite Wattpad stories right now are 'Game on' and 'Checkmate (Sequel to Game On)' by @Vampiewontchange. I also love 'The Bad Boy Stole My Notebook' by @Miles11011.
How do you deal with hate comments?
I think everyone who puts their work out there deals with people who don't love their work and with people who do love their work. I personally try to pay no attention to hate comments at all. Whenever I see a hate comment, I delete it immediately without reacting to it. I tell myself that there will always be someone that doesn't like my work, but that it doesn't matter, because there are people out there who do like my work and some might even love it. I still find it hard to ignore the hate comments, but I get so many loving comments and messages that the hate comments really don't matter anymore. In my eyes, comments with constructive criticism aren't hate comments though.
How did you come up with the books/characters/etc.?
I used to read a lot of (bad boy) books and slowly the desire to write something myself started to come up. So I just started to write. I made a list with things I wanted in my book, like a protective brother, a stalking ex or a school trip. I wasn't planning on ever sharing it with anyone, but the further I got, the more I started thinking about it. And after a lot of thinking and worrying, I updated it. The ideas and characters kind of came as I went on with writing. That's why the book is a bit chaotic, I did not plan things out at all. The only way to learn how to write is to just do it, find your mistakes and learn from them.
Do you see yourself in any of your characters?
In some ways I do, in some ways I don't. With Alex, I can definitely relate to wanting to keep serious things to myself, but I don't think I would go to these lengths to keep them to myself (at least, I hope I wouldn't). With Jayden, I can definitely relate to wanting to protect the ones I love no matter what (unless it involves killing or hurting someone innocent). I think I relate with Connor the most though, I'm as much of a child as he is and I love to irritate the hell out of my friends *devil horns*.
Are your characters inspired from real life people?
There are definitely some traits in my characters that I recognize in people in my life, but I wouldn't say my characters are inspired from them. And if I recognize some of those traits, it usually wasn't on purpose. I admit that some things that happened in the book, also happened in my life or in someone else's, but some of them weren't on purpose either.
Kill â marry â kiss, Jayden â Caleb â Connor?
Don't think this comes as a shocker haha. I would kill Caleb, kiss Jayden and marry Connor. However, I wouldn't mind marrying Jayden... :)
Which character would you be?
I think I would want to be Connor. In my eyes, he is the funniest and he's always there for his friends. Yeah, I am aware that he's dead... :(
Why did you kill Connor in the book?
*Sad face* I still miss him :(.
He died, because I felt that the book was getting a bit boring and something had to happen. Also, life isn't just happiness (which I guess is pretty clear in my book haha) and sometimes stuff doesn't go as you want it to go and I wanted to let that shine through. Nobody's life is perfect. I felt like Connor's death would have an impact on almost everyone in the story, mostly Alex, and his death would mean a lot of personal development for the other characters in the story.
Who's your favourite character?
Oof... I think I would have to say Connor...
What exactly are the details that Alex has not told her brother and Mason (what details does she have to tell the judge that her brother and boyfriend don't know)?
There aren't any specific details that Alex has to tell the judge, that her brother and Mason don't know yet. It's more that if she hasn't told them everything, for whatever reason (varying from embarrassment to not wanting to be reminded), that there is a possibility that this time she does have to talk about it.
Will they get married?
Who knows, we'll see ;)
When do you update?
I don't have a schedule for when I update. My plan in the beginning was to update at least twice every week, but that wasn't working for me. I've had some issues, including pretty bad writer's block, and I decided that at the end of every chapter I will let you know when the next chapter will be coming out. I will try to update as much as possible :)
Are you thinking of sequels?
I'm definitely thinking of some possible sequels, but as always there are pros and cons. I've also been thinking about starting a new book and I have been writing down all of my ideas, but I first want to finish 'The Bad Boy Cares?'. Ideas for sequels or new books are always welcome though *I'm not promising that I will use your idea though*.
1-10, how much do you love your fans?
The best question for last :)
100000000! I LOVE my fans so freaking much, I can't really put it into words. It honestly still feels weird to say that I have 'fans'. Like, I have fans? How? I'm just a 17-year-old girl from a small country and people all over the world are reading my work. I never expected to have so many people read my work, it's beyond my imagination.
You are everything to me and I appreciate every single one of you so very much! I can't imagine having better readers than you! Thank you for everything you've done for me, I wouldn't be this far without any of you!
That's why I want to say that if you ever feel the need to talk to someone, or even if you don't, but just like to talk, please please please message me or someone else. I'll always be here for you, so don't be scared to message me. You aren't a burden to me, you could never ever be, so please try to not worry too much about that! :)
