pretend a girl was being investigated for secret information. You're accidentally mistook for this girl and the investigators tied you up & interrogated you by tickling your feet and you could not kick or punch. What ever would you do in that situation? Would you laugh?

Laugh? LAUGH?!!
I WOULD BE HAVING A FULL-BLOWN PANIC ATTACK BC SOME STRANGER IS TOUCHING MY FEET! (also i would surrender any information bc i'm the most ticklish person ever. sorry, mum.)

Please, turn me into a girl with a magic spell ?

kid, how old is you???
abracadabra is the only spell i know of and it hasnt done jack shit for anyone -.-

I love how pro-black you are. As soon as i start talking about how i love my melanin & curly afro people freak out like i'm this racist who hates white people. love ya girl!

Love you more, sista ❤
It makes me so sad that younger, more impressionable girls like my sister hate being dark-skinned. Y'know I'm only just realising that racism was ingrained into young black girl even before they even knew what is was. You can love yourself without putting others down. Why don't a lot of people get that?

If you were a fruit, what kind would you be?

I went to the British Library today to visit the West Africa exhibition and it was amazing! If any of you live in London you should definitely check it out. There's a missing chunk of history, literature and art that isn't taught in schools but it's such an important piece of the past. It's pretty sad that they only teach us African history starting from when the white man arrived.

What's the woest experience of your life?

Waking up this morning thinking it's Monday and realising you're about to relive the entire week again. I nearly fell out of my bed with a heart attack.

Favourite writer on Wattpad and real life. You can only pick one!!

only one?!! you're having a laugh, mate.
*whispers v. quietly*
Wattpad: Rose (@northbynorth) bc she taught me more about style and the gift of metaphors than freaking Petrarchan sonnets. That girl has starlight in her soul, man. Reading her side projects on her second account was a religious experience.
Irl: Lauren Oliver simply bc 'Before I Fall' was like a beautiful sunrise after the longest, starless night of all time. idk if you've ever needed a sign to remind you that you're doing ok, but that book was my sign. It gave me so much hope. I think I read it so often that my copy of the book is tattered and brown with age lol. Lauren Oliver is my writing goals.

have you ever considered writing about getting over your heartbreak and by that i mean everything you went through in the past years which was obviously painful and you were able to write that but what about now what about how it feels to finally reach the surface after being underwater for so long?

I have considered that. Definitely. But it's hard for me to write when I don't have much inspiration. I'm so busy all the time that it's hard to find a second to breathe let alone plan, write and edit a novel.
Lately I've been reading a lot. I'm trying to learn more about writing for a range of audiences beside teenagers. I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate racial and political issues like Chimamanda Adichie does so well in her novels. I want to learn how to build worlds outside the ones we live in like JK Rowling and GRRM... I want to see the examples that exist so I can understand writing from a reader's perspective. What's an author without readers? What's a book if it doesn't leave a mark or impression behind? I'm trying to learn more through reading in the same way I learnt so much through writing. And I'm trying to heal myself in that process. Reading can be a lot less toxic than writing. I don't have to think too hard or reflect on a past I'd much rather forget.
Don't worry. I keep a journal and write in it everyday so it's not like I'm not writing anything at all ?

Are you proud of your upbringing? My parents can be really backwards sometimes :/

I'm proud of everything my mother has done for me in terms of care, shelter and education. She's made from steel and certainly taught me a lot about the outside world. But I feel like she's always been blindsided by her experiences. She's led a rough life. But I do feel very, very disappointed in her close-minded approach to life. She is set in her ways, very judgemental and brusque and has internalised racism. It's not her fault; the setting she grew up in was very different to the setting I've grown up in. But she projects her past onto my future, which makes her a bit of a tyrannical figure at times. I know that she's just a victim of her own upbringing, but I do blame her for passing her prejudiced ideas on to me and my siblings. It took a long time to shake off years and years of racism, homophobia and sexist ideals.
The last time we had a massive shouting match she told me that I'd never make it as a successful writer because I'm:
1) A girl
2) Black
3) Muslim
I think that pretty much sums up my mum's narrow lens on the world :))) *tries really hard not to combust into flames*

Is there a political reason behind the riot? A valid reason for the dissent? Or is it just rowdy white men in need of a sitter?
I've seen riots before. Heck, I live in Tottenham and our riots in 2011 made it on national TV. There were BBC reporters outside my house trying to get footage. But there was a reason to the riot = racial tension between the police and youth, the shady arrest and murder of Mark Duggan, etc. People were angry that their voices weren't being heard, so they attacked the town's infrastructure and made headlines until the police acknowledged their wrongdoings.
If there isn't a reason to the Vancouver Riots then I don't really care. There are bigger issues in the world that need media coverage than this rubbish.

you haven't posted anything in a while...

I know.
I don't know if I'm going through a writer's block or a phase but I don't think I'll be writing anything for a while. My head is so empty. My skull isn't bursting with ideas or storylines anymore. Everything up here is just so...quiet. And I like it that way.
Problem is, I used to write to distract myself from the deafening world around me. Writing was my way of donning headphones and drowning out the rest of world. I made up characters and settings and conflicts so I could forget about my own story. I wiped the slate clean and filled it with words that weren't mine. It was therapeutic. But now I've run out of experiences to retell and characters to remould. You can only reinvent yourself in so many ways. I think I've exhausted everything I had to say. This time last year I was rebuilding my life. There was so much to reflect on. I had just failed a school year, lost my friends, my future, my dad, pretty much everything. I felt like I couldn't breathe. It was like I was walking underwater and some days were very, very unbearable. I don't know if you've ever sat at the bottom of a swimming pool before and held your breath for a long time, but after a while it gets uncomfortable and then it gets really painful. As a writer, I thrived on pain. It was my motivator. But that's not the way I want to live the rest of my life, even if it makes me the greatest writer. I don't want to feel like that anymore. I don't want to feel pain so overwhelming that it pushes me to a bridge or the edge of the stairs. No more.
I'm learning what it feels like to be human again, and I'm so busy rewriting my life again that I don't have time to write for anybody else. I hope you understand <3

How do you personally go about making friends on Watt?

Personally I just talk to whoever messages me and it usually picks up from there. I'm not too good at making friends. Or keeping them, for that matter.
But if you want general tips then:
- Be kind
- Have common interests
- Comment thoughtfully on their stories (always)
- Start up a convo via messages
- Always be respectful
- Never spam others to read your own story

How do I figure out what career path I'd like to take? I just started year 12 and everyone's telling me that It's something I need to start thinking about. I took English Lit, Sociology, Spanish & Biology as a levels but I just don't know what field I want to go in :((

Don't think about it as a path because then you'll restrict yourself to walk in one direction only. You can go wherever you want and visit the same places twice. You should imagine your life as a pretty, silver spiderweb with lots and lots of lines that will take you down a thousand different routes. Some places can be reached in more than one way.
I know it's practical to think about jobs bc money and future and bills and mergh, but I would tell you to look the other way and focus on the subjects that make you happy. There are SO many degrees out there--hundreds that you'll never have heard of. Expose yourself to these. Go to LOTS of taster courses (they're so fun and interesting, trust me!). If you don't enjoy a taster course then you'll save yourself £27k worth of tears.
Personally, I stopped thinking about my life in terms of careers and job prospects, and started viewing it as "What would I enjoy studying for 3 years?", "What degree would motivate me to wake up for a 9am lecture?", "What am I really passionate about?"
I was more confused than ever when I picked my A-Levels. People always raise their eyebrows when I tell them I do Physics and Further Maths, and make faces when I tell them I'm applying for English and Creative Writing. I enjoy all three subjects immensely, and I've changed my mind about what degree I'd like to do about 4012931 times. And I think it's perfectly okay to be indecisive. You'll make a choice in the end anyway, and you still have plenty of time.
I think your A-Levels are very diverse (and so cool, actually! Though I've always despised Biology bc I'm so shit at it). Just focus on getting the best grades then you'll be able to pick whatever you want.
[P.S. TASTER COURSES ARE YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND.]

How important is it to you that your friends read your work?

Not at all. My friends irl are only just finding out about my account on Wattpad and I shy away from them when they ask to check out my profile because, for me, writing is an intimate form of art. It's the only time that I'll willingly invert my feelings and experiences for the world to see. It's nice to know that they value my efforts, but I feel more comfortable keeping the line between reader and friend separate.

What subject are you applying to uni for?

At first I was torn between astrophysics and English, but I decided to go with the latter because I want to go into the publishing industry :)

hey kaddy Im currently writing my personal statement and have no idea where to begin... any advice?

Each course will have its own criteria. For Medicine and related courses, you'll have to talk about work experience. With English, History, Classics, Philosophy and any other essay based courses you'll want to discuss books that you've read to demonstrate wider reading. For Creative Writing, History of Art and Architecture you might have to submit a portfolio.
Here are hundreds of sample personal statements that you can look at. http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/Personal_Statement_Library
Skim through them by subject. After that you can look at university specific ones. And it tells you what the candidate was predicted, the offers they got and if they met those offers.
Good luck with your application. And if you want me to proofread it then don't hesitate to ask :)

I feel you on a spiritual level! A*'s at a level to me seem like an unattainable dream. My motto is 'aim high and keep your expectations ridiculously low' that way you'll always be pleased with what you get lol.

I used to think that way but it didn't help much because I never put in the hard work. I think it's easier to dream and make goals but harder to reenact the same thing in reality and achieve those goals, so now I focus entirely on working hard and looking at the floor instead of the horizon. I know where I need to get to, but it's so easy to get distracted by what's ahead all the time so I like to limit my gaze to what's directly in front of me. As long as I put in the effort, time and commitment then I know that I've tried my best, and that's good enough for me :D
