► FEATURED AUTHOR: SKYLAR

Skylar is a 14-year-old author from Ohio and a passionate One Direction fan.

YearNoWriMad is fan-fiction friendly! Here's a quick interview with Skylar, an official YearNoWriMad 2012 participant.



1. Tell us about your novel and your current word count.

My story, One Direction and I, is about a girl named Skylar Johnson who ends up living the dream life, falling in love and losing herself in the midst of it all. But once she learns who she really is, she keeps fighting to retain normalcy as a mother who takes care of 5 boys. Will she end up being herself, or will she lose it all in just one click? I finished the story last week with a total word count of 41,578 and 63 chapters.

2. Would you have come this far without YearNoWriMad? If not, what aspect(s) of YearNoWriMad drove you to get 'er done?

No, I don't believe I would've come this far without YearNoWriMad. I would have been lost and confused and horrible at writing the story! I learned from other writers and created this story that even people who don't like One Direction find enjoyable.

3. What are your word count goals for 2013? 

My goal is to write a whole new book (50,000+)! I've got a title, cover and some of the first chapter. It's called The Eleanor Project.
