Q&A 2

Helllooooo I'm doing a second Q&A just because I thought it'd be good to have one at the end of the book as well! Thanks for your questions!

I included some questions that I already answered on my insta story too!

I have some questions for y'all too!

1. What were your favorite moments from the book?

2. Least favorite moments?

3. Favorite chapters?

4. What are you hoping to see in the sequel?

************************************************

Question 1:

Q. What's the sequel going to be like?

A. To be honest I don't know how to answer this because I haven't written it yet. If you would've asked me before I'd written DHMIS what it was going to be like I would've said something completely different than how it actually turned out. The only thing I know for sure is that it's gonna have its fair share of drama, but lots of good times too and hopefully it'll be funny! And since it's gonna be senior year, it's definitely gonna be a wild ride!

Question 2:

Q. Do you think while you write the sequel to DHMIS you might write another story?

A. If you somehow haven't noticed over the 100+ chapters of this book that I'm impulsive as shit and I frequently end up doing the opposite of what I say I'm gonna do, I'm just gonna tell you right now that I'm impulsive as shit and I frequently end up doing the opposite of what I say I'm gonna do. I just wanted to put that out there before we get too far down in the questions 💀

I've said before that I'd like to write another Billie book but I don't think I'll do it while writing the DHMIS sequel and idk if I'll have the time to write it after finishing the sequel because for right now, I have tons of free time because I'm just taking the summer to relax. But sooner or later I'm gonna get a job and I'm sure that'll take up lots of my time and idk how much time I'll have for writing.

Writing DHMIS was so enjoyable but it was also stressful. I put so much pressure on myself to update frequently and with good, longish chapters. It was really hard work doing that and it was really exhausting! I can't imagine having the energy to do that when I've got a job so idk. I also can't imagine having the energy to do that if I'm working on another book at the same time.

I spent hours and hours locked in my room writing for just ONE book. If I write for two books at the same time I don't think any of my friends or family will ever get the chance to see me 💀

I like focusing on just one book too. In the past I've written two or three at a time and I've managed it pretty well, but those were different. I wasn't as good of a writer back then. There were grammar mistakes everywhere, short ass chapters, etc etc. I actually put a lot of effort into proofreading and making sure these chapters actually look GOOD in this book. So it takes more time and energy and Idk if I'd be able to do that for two books at a time.

Plus, that's why a lot of my previous books were never completed. Working on two or three things at a time means that when I get writer's block for one book I get to just move on to the next and write for it instead, and then when I get writer's block for that book I move on to the next one. It gives me an excuse to not focus and keep writing until I actually finish the book you know? I think writing two books at a time is too distracting for me and just ends up with nothing getting finished

...All that being said, like I mentioned before, I'm impulsive as shit and if I get my mind set on something, I have to do it. You never know when a story idea will pop into my head that just won't leave until I sit down and write it.

TLDR; Probably not but you never know.

Question 3:

Q. Why tf are you so good at writing?

A. Lots of practice! Lmao

Question 4:

Q. How do you write dialogue so well?

A. No idea! I just write shit and hope it doesn't suck. But also a big part of it is visualizing. I just picture that this is a show that I'm watching on tv and I think about how a convo irl would go, you know?

Question 5:

Q. If you had to choose, who do you see Kit as?

A. I pictured kit as Ruby Rose the whole time I was writing for her. She's not described as looking like Ruby Rose, but she looks like her to me if that makes sense? But not on the outside. She looks like Ruby on the inside to me? Idfk words. Basically, she's just rlly hot and confident and the epitome of what I wanted her character to be is Ruby Rose. Or rlly, Stella from OITNB (Ruby Rose's character)

Also, a lot of people have asked for a face claim for her but I don't wanna do it. You guys love Kit and think she's sexy as shit 💀 you imagine her to look like whatever you want and that's what will keep her the sexiest to you! Same with Gigi. I never gave him a face claim because you guys love him and think he's adorable and you picture him as whoever you want.

Question 6:

Q. Fave chapter & fave chapter to write?

A. My fave chapter to write was definitely 113. I had fun writing Dahlia being a bad bitch lmaoo.

My other fave chapters are like 38 & 39 I think (the second party they went to) which were also some of my faves to write, and 107 because that's the chapter that Madison and Jules were introduced in.

My fave chapters to read (bc sometimes I be bored and I read my own shit) are 38 through about 45. Idkk. From the party to when Bil is taking care of Dahlia and everything.

Question 7:

Q. Do you sometimes read your own stuff?

A. ^^^ YES! I love reading my own stuff and idk if that's weird but I'm really proud of my writing and I actually legit like my story. It's like how Billie says she likes her own music! I love reading my stuff especially a while after I've written it and forgot what happened lmao.

Question 8:

Q. I suck at continuity. How do you not forget what you write?

A. I DO! All the time. I just make sure to take notes of all the big details that I need to try not to forget about and like I said ^^ I reread my stuff. Especially when I get bored. And when I DO forget details I just try to make it seem like I didn't lmao.

For example, the clubs. In the beginning of the book you know Dahlia talks about all the clubs she's joined and then after like the first ten or twenty chapters it's pretty rare that the clubs are talked about. Cause bitch I forgot them.

All the drama and shit going on with Billie and Dahlia and everyone else made me forget about the clubs. It's hard trying to write about every lil thing! But I eventually remembered them and I was like ohhh shit. Okay let's mention her clubs again so people don't think I forgot about them! And that's why I added all the drama with drama club, so the clubs could be mentioned again a final time.

Another example is the music lounge. Finneas, Denny, caden and Kit all work there. Cause remember at the beginning it's mentioned that Denny and Finneas are friends because they work together, and Caden knows who billie is because he also works there and knows Finneas, and then when Kit is introduced she comes over to dahlia's house because she's Denny's friend because she works there too.

You'd think that with four whole characters working there I'd actually remember that it exists, but nope. I always forget. Then I remember and I mentioned it again and then I forget again lmao.

So anyways, I kinda suck at continuity too, but I'm somewhat decent at covering it up and I think that's the next best thing!

Question 9:

Q. What would you do if Billie saw the book and read it?

A. DIE.

Lmaoo I think about this a lot. I'd love it and I'd hate it. I'd love it because obviously if she read it she'd know I exist and that'd be dope. But also what if she read it and was like....girl tf is this bullshit ? I'd die and delete my whole life. It'd be cool tho.

& not tryna come at ole girl but I wonder if Billie even reads? 💀💀💀 Like she seems like the type of person that doesn't like reading that much but then idk because she always shocking me with her likes and dislikes. Plus I remember that video of her reading somebody's fanfic that one time soo 💀💀

Question 10:

Q. Who do you picture Dahlia as because I've tried to imagine her but I just can't find a face?

A. I honestly can't find a face for her either! Since the beginning I knew what her description was, you know, pale, blue eyes, black hair, all that. But an actual face? Idk. I don't have a specific person in mind for her.

This girl is really pretty tho and I saw this pic and was like wow that's not Dahlia but she looks like her maybe???? You can picture this girl as her if you want.

Question 11:

Q. How'd you come up with Ori's name?

A. Well in the last q&a I mentioned the fact that I listen to a lot of older music and around the time I was writing the chapters that introduced him I was listening to a lot of Roy Orbison. Ori's name was originally obiee (cos I knew i wanted it to start with a o Nd I know someone with that name) but I changed it after a bit because Orbison is a rlly cute Nd unique name and I already like the word 'orb' a lot bc it just for me is super supernatural feeling? I've always heard it being associated with spirits Nd I like that vibe for ori so..ye.

Question 12:

Q. What inspired you to make a Billie Eilish fanfic?

A. Well, I kept thinking about making one for her for weeks and weeks before I actually made it because I love her. But I didn't wanna make one because I thought it'd just turn out like some of my previous books which I ended up not completing. But before I had this book, I was writing a twd smut book. I spent a lot of time on that book but it ended up getting deleted by wattpad so I just figured...what the hell, I guess I can write for Billie now.

Question 13:

Q. What comments annoy you?

A. I hate when people say they're gonna skip reading something and then a few chapters they're like 'who's this' or 'when did that happen' or 'I don't remember that happening but ok' BITCHHHHHHH. YOU SHOULDA READ INSTEAD OF SKIPPING!!!!!

(This is not @ people who skip potentially triggering things, that's totally understandable!)

I get that there's a lot going on and shit & u might wanna skip some of it but don't be wondering why ur confused later lmao. And also I hate to see those comments cause it makes me feel like 'ok what was the point of me even writing this then?' And it just makes me feel like I'm doing too much and ppl aren't enjoying it but I know that's just me overthinking.

Question 14:

Q. When did you discover Billie and how and what drew you to her?

A. I found Billie in 2017 (but just got obsessed obsessed with her this year) and Bellyache was the first song I heard of hers because I was lurking trough YouTube and tying to find different artists and the bellyache mv was in my recommended. I loved the song and the video was gorgeous and obviously so was she so I was intrigued and started listening to more of her stuff.

The thing that drew me to her was first of all, she was GORGEOUS I thought she was a model or something, and then I immediately googled her and figured out that she's just a year younger than me and that intrigued me. When I was listening to more of her stuff I legit liked every single song that I heard which isn't usually the case with me because I never usually like a song the first time I hear it. But I loved all her stuff and literally couldn't find a song that I didn't like, and obviously her music is so unique so all that stuff combined made me fall in love marrymepleasebitchimbegging and that was that! 🖤

Also, I thought she was British the first time I saw her which seems to be the case with most people. Idk why but she looks British 🤷🏽‍♀️

Question 15:

Q. What characters in your book are most like you?

A. Well, I have a different answer than the first one I gave now 💀 most of the characters are like me in some way. I'm greedy like Caden, shy like Dahlia was in the beginning of the book, dirty minded like Billie, crazy sometimes like Cadence, always eating a snack when shit goes down like Kit, somewhere crying in a corner when shit gets to be too much like Kai, etc etc. I'm probably most like Dahlia tho.

Question 16:

Q. Do you think you'll ever write smut for Billie?

A. Idk I know people want me to but idk. I know for a fact I'm not writing any before she's legal but even after she turns 18 I'm not sure if I'll write it for her. I just think about it like what if she one day reads the story (I know she won't but shh) I'm sure it'd make her so uncomfortable to have to read smut written about her. And like I said I legit consider her a friend soo...I don't usually write smut about my friends.

Plus, people constantly asking me to write it makes me not want to. Not really the people who are nice about it, but there are legit some people that dm me every chapter asking for smut and blatantly ignore the fact that I ignore them. Some people have threatened to stop reading if I don't write smut, some people have called me a terrible writer for not writing it, some people have called me a pussy for not writing it, some people have just been really rude about it and like...bitch. It's not that deep and there are plenty of books with smut in them...Go read those.

To be fair, it took me 102 chapters just to come out and say 'hey, I'm not writing smut for her ok after dec 18th if then' which was my fault, but still. You don't have to harass me about it.

Question 17:

Q. Do you sometimes cringe when writing something awkward or a sex scene?

A. YES!! This is another reason why I don't write much smut. It takes me soooo much longer to write that than it does for me to write anything else because I spend the entire time cringing and wondering if it's too much or if it's too awkward. It's crazy because I used to have a twd smut book and it was filled with mostly...u guessed it...smut. And I started that book for the sole purpose of getting better at writing smut but it got deleted a few days before I published this story and it seems like as soon as it did I went back to being horrible at writing smut lmao.

Also if y'all could see me while I'm writing y'all would probably be like... what the fuck wrong with this bitch ? 💀 when something sad or intense happens I literally laugh hysterically all while I'm writing it because like irl when somebody cries I smile and laugh because it makes me awkward and that's just my reaction for some reason and it's so weird. And it's the same when I'm writing. If something terrible is happening I'm cackling all while writing it.

Question 18:

Q. How long does it usually take you to write a chapter?

A. If it's 1000-3000 words and I didn't have writer's block, probably an hour or two to write and edit it. 5000-6000 word chapters if I don't have writer's block usually take two or three hours to write and edit (with some time in between to rest cause my fingers get tired) and any chapter written while I have writer's block usually takes a day or ten 🙄💀

Question 19:

Q. How old are you?

A. Eighteen

Question 20:

Q. Do you have a name for the sequel?

A. At the time of me writing this, I don't. Which...I really need to think of one.

Question 21:

Q. Will there be new characters in the sequel?

A. YES! Hella. Dahlia's family, as we met in the last chapter, and some really interesting new characters that I can't wait to write for.

Question 22:

Q. Will there be a big time jump in the sequel?

A. No

Question 23:

Q. Do you wait for certain people to comment?

A. Mmmm. Not really but I do notice when people who usually comment stop.

Question 24:

Q. What got you into writing?

A. Wow I don't even know. The first books I ever wrote were all for one direction 💀 I've always had pretty good plot ideas and when I was younger I made probably forty-fifty damn books for them, most of which only had 1-5 chapters cause I never finished anything. I probably wrote 5 1d books that actually had more chapters than that. After 1d came my wrestling obsession and I made like fifty different wwe books too (I'm not kidding, my drafts were crazzzzzyyyy. And I used to delete them and then ask wattpad to give me all my drafts back back when you could do that. I wish they'd do that again because I want all my old drafts back again lmao) I guess I just started writing because I had so many ideas in my head that I always thought about and I'd create stories in my head and they wouldn't leave until I wrote them down. Plus, if I get passionate about something or someone then I need an outlet and writing is that outlet.

Question 25:

Q. What people/fandoms have you written for?

A. Whew Chile. A long list. 1D, WWE, Modern family, Stranger things, The walking dead, Henry danger, Fionn Whitehead, Harry styles (obviously), Shameless, the joker, Sweeney Todd, etc.

Question 26:

Q. Do you think you'll write something other than fanfiction in the future?

A. I have one story called fatal that I was gonna write for Fionn Whitehead when I was obsessed with him. It was gonna be a ten part story and the first I think two chapters are completed. I think my writing for it was really good and the plot was going to be really interesting and I think about that book a whole lot. I could definitely turn that into just a fiction book with all original characters.

The thing about me, though, is that I have trouble writing if it's not for someone I'm passionate about. If this book had been written with all original characters it wouldn't have been this good. I need my books to center a person I know and love IRL. So I think I'll have to write it about one of my faves first and then just go back and change the names when I'm done which will be a pain in the ass but I think that's how I'd have to do it. I'd love to turn that story into a Billie story, but I can't because I want it to be a boyxboy story like I originally planned.

Question 27:

Q. Do you think you'll have a career in writing?

A. I don't know. I feel like maybe I could because I've managed to have a lot of success on wattpad over the years, but it's different trying to be a successful writer who's job is writing and selling books and being a wattpad writer who does it for fun.

I need a career that's gonna make me hella money, no lie. So I don't know. I definitely think writing could be a way for me to earn extra money but idk if I'd want to have writing be my only job.

Im high key tryna become a YouTuber for real.

Question 28:

Q. What are your top three favorite characters other than Dahlia?

A. Billie, the twins (they count as one cause I'm cheating shh) and bea/Kit (I love them all I couldn't decide)

AND JULES AND MADI OKBYE

Question 29:

Q. What do you like more, writing stories or reading stories?

A. I honestly don't have time to read stories anymore now that I'm writing one lmao. Idk I think I like writing more cause I get to control what happens and it's fun. But I like reading when I just wanna relax which I need to start doing more.

Question 30:

Q. Sexual orientation?

A. Bi

Question 31:

Q. What motivates you to keep writing?

A. Seeing that people enjoy what I'm writing/look forward to updates.

Question 32:

Q. Who are your least favorite characters?

A. Luna, Jaylen, bowl cut dude and Valerie

Question 33:

Q. Favorite animal?

A. Raccoons

Question 34:

Q. How's your mental health?

A. I'd say it's pretty good. I'm not that unhappy most days.

Question 35:

Q. Do you like Area 51 memes?

A. They're kinda funny but make me sad tbh because I'm always on twitter and always see tweets about how yeah it's a funny joke but if we actually put the effort into storming places like the literal concentration camps they're keeping immigrants in, we might be able to help them.

Question 36:

Q. Do you think the sequel will be as long as this book?

A. I have no idea cause I didn't even know that this book would be as long as this book 💀

Question 37:

Q. Does Billie have a crush on Kit?

A. Everyone does

Question 38:

Q. What do you think is the most attractive thing about Billie?

A. Eyes and personality

Question 39:

Q. Is Billie or Dahlia taller?

A. Billie

Question 40:

Q. Do you get paid from the videos that play after some of the chapters?

A. Nope.
