Are you answering these questions on your phone or your computer?
My computer for now.
How do you pronounce Lysa? Is it like "Li-sa"? like "A-li-sa" without the A?
Lysa is my nickname. Alyssa is my whole first name. It's pronounced like A- lay-saLay is NOT pronounced like lay as in lay down. It's like lahy or luy.
Yes. They read that. I'm 22 years old. I'm old. LOL. I'm not a fifteen year old writing about sex. I'm way past my teen years. Besides, my family knows I've read a lot of books. They buy me those books. It doesn't bother them. Haha.
What's your favorite app/game on your iphone?
I don't have much games on my iphone. But almost all the social media apps are there. haha. For the game, I only have Candy Crush.
I'm just curious.. but did your parents or siblings read your story? xD
Yes my mom read it. Haha. My dad read the ending. he doesn't read much. My aunts from other countries all read it.
Ooh ooh! Love the design of the notebook! Anyway, what app did you use to make them in a collage with the pink hearts background?
Pic Collage. :)
The first time you revealed your real name in Wattpad. Did you ever worry about classmates/colleagues about finding you there? Did they make fun of you or something?
My book was already published when I revealed my name there. So there's like no use hiding anymore. LOL. I posted stuff about my book on my facebook and my family and friends were proud of me. For my enemies, I blocked them in Facebook. They can make fun of me all they want but I won't see their reactions so it's okay. Let them be bitter or jealous about it if they want.Also, I'm not ashamed because I love what I am doing. Yes, I am shy when it comes to showing my works to my friends. I don't even want them to read it. LOL. But friends are friends and will always tease you no matter what. haha.
Can you take a picture of the different notebooks you have if you have some time, I mean..
Here's the front and back view of the Notebook I use for TBDK. This is the only one I have with me right now. LOL.
What comments?? Comments of the commenters? do you mean constructive comments?
Comments from my editors, my own comments on what to change, stuff I have to remember, etc.
What's the grade of your glasses?
I forgot already. The right side is different from the left one. And I have high astigmatism
Oh! so the cast, plot, blurb, etc. of one story is in single notebook?
Yes. Along with other notes, comments etc. :)
You have a very feminine voice !
LOL. Thanks.
Have you read the fault in our stars??
Nope. Sorry. I don't like those kinds of books. Haha. I don't want to read books that will just make me sad.

Why did you change the cover of the How To Be A Queen back?
Just wanted the old cover back. Haha. The new one was made by one of my readers and I put it there to thank her
On a scale of 1 to 10, how well do you sing?
Maybe 7? 10 on the shower, of course. :))
What is your writing process?
First I think of the story I want. Then I think of the beginning and the ending. For me, these two really have to be solid. I can change the middle parts but it all goes towards one solid ending.Then, I write my chapter outline so that I will never get sidetracked. The outline has to be solid as well before I start writing. This is also why I don't take requests from my readers. I don't change my story. I write what I want. :)Then, I write everything straight from my mind. I don't edit at first. As long as I still have an idea, I type it down so I won't forget it.When I am finished with everything, I go back and start rereading and editing. This is where I add some more scenes, exchange words and sentences to better-sounding ones. Provide more details, etc. :)That's it! :)
What was the hardest book that you wrote?
Hmm. I think it's The King's Slave. It's the first one I wrote a bed scene for. And then I had to make up so many names of places, make up my own mythology, make up my own language and all other stuff. Also, I wrote several action scenes for that. Haha.
