Wattpairs Mentorship Challenge [2019 - Closed]

AGATHAROZA

My name is AJ, I wrote a trilogy in which two of them were featured by Wattpad this year and one of them was on Wattys2018 Long List. I have been writing for about 10 years now since that time I picked up my first journal and wrote things that never actually happened.

My mom had cancer a few years back and my father is addicted to smoking. Writing has been my solace and escape. Nowadays when I face trouble in life or life has been throwing bad stuff at me, I will open my journal (which filled with story ideas rather than my own life story) and write.

My favourite genres to write are Young Adult / New Adult (Romance, Mystery, Fantasy/Mythology). I have not tried writing books with adult characters yet, partially because I do not feel like I'm an adult yet, even though my age does not make me a teenager too but writing these YA stories makes me look back on my high school experience, what I've experienced and what I wish to experience. Those two are usually what you can find in the pages of my books.

What I can offer you during this mentorship is my experience. How to plot a story, how to do character development, how to avoid writer's block, etc.

Fun fact (or maybe not so fun): I am not sure if this would be considered as "fun" but I am a Chinese who cannot speak Chinese, not even to save my life. I made a blog and posted my stories when I was thirteen and recently stumbled upon that blog. I wanted to delete those embarrassing, poor-written stories but I no longer have access to that Gmail account so I can only pray no one will ever find out. I dreamt the concept of Entwined back when I was fourteen and wrote it in my journal (and forgot about it) then I had another dream when I was twenty-one, but this time I decided to follow my guts and actually wrote it.
