Know about your Authors

@ccreator

Pen Name: My pen name isn't anything out there. It's just 'C,' the letter of my first name lol.

Username: ccreator

Is your pen name your legal name? If no, then how did you make up one?

My pen name is my legal name, but also not, if that makes sense. I chose 'C' because 1) don't want people I know irl to find me, 2) I just don't want strangers knowing my full name, and 3) it's just simple. Also pretty gender neutral, so it makes me feel better, being non-binary.

How many books have you published till date?

I've published 7 works so far, only two being completed at the moment (From The Other Side and The Luck of Ezra Graham). If we're talking about on Wattpad, at least. Off, I've published nothing lmao.

What are your future projects?

I don't have many future projects tbh. I have a bunch of ideas, but I honestly doubt they'll ever see the light of day. oops.

What is writing to you?

This may sound cliché, but writing to me is an escape. I've loved making up stories since I was in the third grade — and being able to describe things my way is insanely therapeutic. Writing to me is everything I love packed into one thing, because I can incorporate the things I adore into it. (-:

Is being an author, your long time dream or a hidden passion you found out later?

Being an author has been a long time dream of mine. It has always been appealing to me since I was little, and I finally started pursuing it in 2014 (I've gone through several accounts on here lol).

What genre books you like to work on?

I really like writing teen fiction and romance. Just coming of age stuff, too, showing the ups and downs of being an LGBT+ teen/individual. I tend to show as much diversity as possible, because not every queer kid is white, skinny, and gay. No shame to those who are, obviously, everyone is valid. But many POC kids and those of other sexualities + gender identities don't get to see themselves portrayed as often as others do.

If we challenge you to write a book of another genre we suggest, then would you take it up?

I'd probably be up to writing a book of another genre. It sounds fun tbh, I need an excuse to do it. Because I'm hellaaaa indecisive.

Then we would love to read a paranormal Romance book from you soon.

Writing is a reality that paints a beautiful fantasy. What do you think are the charms of writing fiction/non fictional books?

Writing fiction has many charms to it, some of them being making up stories you want to see but haven't, so you make them yourself. Creating a positive impact on people, giving them hope for things they've lost it in. I could go on and on, but that would be way too long. So, I'll leave it at those two (they're the biggest ones).

Who are your favorite authors in and out of wattpad?

Favorite authors in Wattpad are ccstarfield, stayonbrand, mythmouth, and glynfrans. -Outside of Wattpad are Shaun David Hutchinson, Adam Silvera, Mason Deaver, and Leigh Bardugo.

Name few of your close wattpad friends.

Close Wattpad friends are orphic_thoughts, DunWithAllTheseHoes, LunaThinks, saturnine— and foreworded .

What is your favorite series you have recently watched or read?

Favorite series I've read was the Six of Crows trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. It's *chef kiss* god tier, I love it with all my heart. And if you ask me about shows... I'll just give you anime tbh. My favorite atm is Demon Slayer/Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Who is your favorite actor/actress?

Favorite actor is Evan Peters. Actress is Sarah Paulson. (Can you tell they're both from American Horror Story? Lmao)

Who is your favorite Villain you couldn't help but love?

Loki is easily my favorite villain I couldn't help but love. But in my personal opinion, he isn't a villain, and I stand by that statement. Also Lower Moon Five, Rui, from Demon Slayer. Not because he's likeable (because trust me, he's not) but because he looks so. Cool. And he's bad*ss, not gonna lie.

What are your hobbies other than writing and reading?

Other than reading and writing, I love doing makeup! I've been doing it for a few years now, and creating art on my face is one of the most entertaining things.

What are your hidden talents?

Hidden talents...? Not studying but still managing to pass a test. Or like, studying a few minutes before and managing to pass. Does that count? Lmao

Who is your first celebrity crush?

First celebrity crush is Jade from Victorious. No hesitation. Elizabeth Gillies made me realize I wasn't straight.

What is the most embarrassing situation that you have ever been through?

There's a ton of embarassing situations I've gone through. Mostly because I get embarrassed easily (and I got hella social anxiety). But the biggest one has to be when I looked up "hickeys on dark skin" for a book thing, because I wanted to see if those marks could show up on my character's dark skin lmfao (Marcus, I love you, but look what you did). And my best friend borrowed my phone to look up something while I was driving, and she saw it, and I was laughing so hard/crying so hard I had to pull over. She still hasn't let me live it down.

One craziest thing you have ever done?

Craziest thing I've ever done? Told my crush I liked her (she didn't like me back, but oh well). My life is pretty uneventful, tbh.

There are many authors who just started their journey and many readers who want to write but has no courage to do so. Please give them a tip and a word of encouragement.

It's scary to post your stuff for the whole entire internet to see, trust me, I get it. We've all been there. Your favorite author was there at one point. And your writing improves as you keep going, keep practicing, keep dreaming. You'll keep looking back on your writing and cringe hardcore, but hey, no one started off as the next Stephen King.

Last but not the least, have you ever dreamt of writing your own comic?

I have dreamt of creating a comic! In fact, my friend (the one who discovered the hickeys on dark skin) and I are making one rn! Slow process, but it's happening. We're gonna publish it on Tapas. (-: It's not going along too fast because we both have our own projects, but. I'm hyped. Let me give one hint: space lesbians.
