Interview
I am Netsuro Ichini, my pen name obviously. I am a struggling writer and is willing to learn more of writing. I am not a usual boy oyu would see in the streets. I am unique not weird. People call me gay but I bet the meaning of genuine shifted to gay now. How dynamic english is. I am 15 year old boy that loves Glee especially Chris Colfer.
2. What types of books do you write?
Actually, I am a poet. I usually write poems but Perfect is a teen fic. I am also eager to learn thriller and supernatural.
3. How many books have you written?
4, including my poetry collection. I haven't finished writing even one of them. They are Perfect, Innocent Sword, Poetry Collection of me, and Scarlet
4. What movie and/or book are you looking forward this year?
My own book being published. Well, The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer that second book and Pitch Perfect Part 2 and Insidious Part 2 as well. I am also looking forward to Glee season 5 on September!
5. What type of books you enjoy reading?
Books with heart. No matter what genre, as long as I felt a heart in the story, I'm in.
6. If you're stranded in an island, what 3 things would you want with you?
Seriously? Ok.
1. I want a shelf full of books
2. If a person, Chris Colfer and Parents. If thing again, a helicopter (LOL).
3. My loptop? Or my notebook with tons of pens.
7. Are you considering a sequel?
Perfect will be a trilogy.
8. What inspired you to be a writer?
I can take that as what and who inspired you. First, I am bullied. No one listens to my ideas. In writing, my book listens to what I say. She may not respond but she is always there when I call her. Second, Chris Colfer inspired me to. He is perfect I guess. He has a beautiful voice, a talented writer and my number one idol. He inspired me to be myself and write my very first novel.
Excerpt
“I-I-I am Ethan. Ethan Colchester,” A boy stuttered in his feminine voice.
“He is Ethan from James Chadwick Academy in Streamwood, Illinios.” Ms. Adreanne announced with a stretched hand towards a boy in his 18s. “He is our newest transferee and is expected to finish his high school with us here in Walter.” She put her hand down and continued tallying the attendance.
Ethan held his breath. Without exhaling, he walked down the platform with his head bowing down and hands like ice. He was nothing. He thought it that way. A gay kid in his white blazer with a red scarf wrapped on his neck or a doormat dirtied with mud and other stuff is all his new classmates could see as he walked. Those whispers, those judging stares and those penetrating glares, it all sent chills that froze him from maintaining his head to look straight at his seat in the farthest corner of the room.

A writing exercise at my first school, where we had to imagine backstories for characters in a book we were reading. That got me interested in creating characters and eventually stories.
Excerpt
The man sat up, suddenly wide awake. But what had woken him?
He rubbed his eyes and looked around, and then he knew. His son was leaning against the door, holding something behind his back, a look of hate on his face.
"Wha' y' doin' 'ere?"
"Getting rid of you."
His son lunged at him with a knife before that fully registered with his hung-over brain.
"Oi! Jis' a momen'!" he slurred, dodging more through luck than anything else. "Wha' all this 'bout?"
The only answer he received was the knife through his heart.
~~~~
He hadn't done anything wrong. He had done the planet a favour, in fact. But the Intergalactic Police Service didn't see it that way. So now he was on the run, hiding on first one planet, then another, trying to get to a planet that was not under their jurisdiction.
As he ran his eyes down the list the computer had generated, one name, for some reason, caught his attention.
Earth
Native Species: Human
Similar To Vampiruans: In appearance
Language: Several hundred, depending on region
On InGEN's List: Yes
Acknowledgement Of Existence Of Other Life-Forms: No (majority)
Planet Can Sustain Vampiruan Life: Yes, in some regions
Obviously, humans (why were they not called Earthians?) were not advanced enough to realize how much easier it was for everyone to learn one language, but were advanced enough to have those meddling nuisances on their planet. And, if they refused to believe in other life-forms, it was likely there were a good deal of those other life-forms hiding on Earth and passing themselves off as human.
After a moment's thought, he set the controls on his starship for the planet known as Earth.
There was no one around when he crashed. That was a good thing, of course, but it meant that InGEN had tracked him and warned everyone to get out of there. Unless Earth settlements were always so deserted.
The first thing he noticed about the new planet was how warm it was. Well, there was snow on the ground, but it was much warmer than Vampiru. There was a strange, metallic smell in the air (possibly the fuel humans used for their vehicles) and a strange bird was singing somewhere overhead. There was a forest to one side, and not far away, running water could be heard. That was a most unwelcome sound. He didn't know if water on Earth was poisonous, but fear of the deadly water on their own planet was too deeply ingrained in every Vampiruan for them to see it as anything but an enemy.
As he looked around, he saw something that until now had escaped his notice - a human. It was asleep, or at least it seemed to be. And it was lying on the snow!
Very strange creatures, he thought with a frown.
Vampiruans might like cold, but very few would choose to sleep in the snow unless they wanted to catch a nasty chill.
He took a step toward it, then another, watching it warily all the time in case this was a ruse. It never moved.
It looked like a female, but then he knew nothing of humans and it could be almost anything. It/she was still alive - he could hear its heart beating and its blood rushing through its veins. For a moment he entertained the thought of drinking her blood, but dismissed the idea almost immediately. A dead body was just the thing to set people of any species on edge.
He thought quickly. InGEN would soon be here, and they'd take his starship and him too if they found him. However, they couldn't take him if he wasn't here. And if he scanned this girl's mind, he could learn the language spoken here and the social customs and he'd be able to fit in.
Now that he'd decided what he would do, he picked the girl up and headed towards the forest. There was no way he could move the starship - it needed repairs. He could only hope that the forcefield preventing anyone else from entering was still in place.
~~~~
Dani woke with a start. Oh, no. Professor Avalon warned me what would happen if I fell asleep in class again, and I have. Wonder --
Her thoughts broke off mid-sentence as she took in her surroundings. She wasn't in school. She wasn't at home. She was lying under a tree in the forest.
She stared. Since when did someone fall asleep under a tree in the middle of winter? And why did her ankle hurt when she stood up?
How very odd.
How very stupid, you mean, her inner critic snickered.
Dani scowled, wishing there was some way she could shut him up.
I must have tripped and hurt my ankle, and then sat down here to rest, or something. Yes, that's it. And then I fell asleep and dreamed all that stuff about the street being empty.
After consulting her watch and realizing it was almost teatime, and long after school ended, she decided it was high time to return home. If her parents were arguing she could always make herself a sandwich and go over to Steven and Gareth's (her friends from school) house.
She limped (she tried to skip, but her ankle protested and put an end to that idea) through the forest until she reached the path along the river, down the path, out the gates, down the street and towards home, oblivious to the fact that the street was still empty.
