If you were going to write a book which one do you relate to the most?
Well, I'd definetly relate to my character Jake because we both had have parental issues such as acceptance in the past. But if you see about it. Everything comes better in some way.
If Jake has problems do you have them too?

Not really, I mean it all depends on level and independalism we do relate. But those are not caused by him. It's caused by my enviroment. That's all what had been mattered.

If you had to pluck a character, And had to stay with them for the rest of your life who'd you pick?
I'd pick uhm.. Tim because he's not as self centered as people think. He's humourous and funny and he's relatable because we both have some corny humour. I don't know. I can pick way too many now.

If there's any character you've made or seen you certainly dislike, Who'd may it be to be picked?
Yeah, that'd be Amy, Because Amy is just stalkerisch. I know more Amy's Amy Xxx ((Name not mentioned)) Amy Rogers, Amy van Houten. I know three triple Amy's but Amy Wheezer is just made to be annoying because. You know? She literally tried to make a night with Jake. And she nearly robbed him of his brandnew guitar. But it show's how much people do to be willing of an idol. I could say some people are like her because they fantasize about people they can never be with. That means idolizing.

If there's any character you've written you really like. Pick a top five.
I'd pick Blinn, Because he's humourous and very funny.
I'd pick on second place Tim, Because he's the master of class and he's sassy.
I'd pick third Jake, Because he's sarcastic, and moody I think everyone relates.
I'd pick Brian Thomas, he's so mysterious and gaggy.
And I'd pick Cheff, Because ya know it's cheff, He had allot of parental issues.

Are you possibly not thinking about them everyday?
Not that I think of, I only think of how the story works out I scrape them out on my notes and bam done. It takes allot of free time. It takes more then it looks like. In first tries it was hard to even get my grammar done the right way. And it's funny to look back at it and be like 'Wow, is that really me who wrote that.” So yeah, I've seen the improvement is a lucky guess.

So have you ever written something you've regretted writing?
Back then I would've said I'd be ashamed to write that novel about middle school. But now I'd be proud to present it. I would've thought I'd skate my reputaiton if I'd written that. And now if someone would tell me not to. I'd tell them yeah okay, And just roll with it y'a know? Back then I was really ashamed. Because i'd lose reputaiton points. But you know I'm my own man you know?

How do you handle critisism if other people disagree?
Well, Back then I'd just be angry and flip them of. You can tell I was just a kid back then. I got an email once saying they'd have to get my permission for a book to fastforward ask them. They'd told me 'Oh you don't have us. You're fucked now.” And now I would tell that younger version of myself
'Just go find someone else, Don't be nervous you'll find your rights.”

I usually just sit back and think positive thoughts such as
'Okay, why are they sending this?” “And is this the right approval I was thinking of. And if it isn't I'll just find another publisher.
One publisher asked once such as 39 euro's because we live in the netherlands per page. I can do it without the money. Thats 390 bucks for a book. Meh, fuck em.
So how do you imagine your books in the future?

Cant say I'll ever get famous, but if I do hold my beer.
You've always got to come with a backup plan y'a know? That's all we can say.
