Georgina Hannan – Interview
1
When did you
first start writing?
I started writing when I was about fourteen. I
started a romance story in a collection of notebooks and my friend joined in
with me for a bit. Unfortunately a lot of that story was lost so I have been
re-writing it and updating it ever since.
2
Did you always
want to be a writer? If not what did you want to be?
No, I used to want to be a teacher!
3
What drew you to
writing young
adult stories?
Well as I started when I was fourteen it was my
age group and still is just. I like writing about the way younger people see
and feel about relationships and situations as it’s a lot different to an
adult.
4
Where does your
inspiration for these stories come from?
Good question! I’m not really sure, sometimes
it’s just a random idea or its adapted from a dream or an advert or something
in my life.
5
What has your
experience been like publishing with Fast-Print.net?
They have been very good and very helpful. There
have been a few teething issues but mostly they have been very accommodating
and I would recommend them.
6
What was your
favourite chapter to write and why?
My favourite chapter would probably have to be
Chapter 8 as I enjoyed writing it from different views. I won’t say any more
than that J
7
Where is your
favourite place to write?
My favourite place is my bedroom at my desk,
which I just recently set-up J
8
Do you have a
certain routine you have for writing? i.e. You listen to music, sit in a
certain chair?
My only routine is I sit at my desk and I have to
listen to music otherwise I become distracted by the TV programmes.
9
Do you use a
computer/laptop for your first draft or are you a pen and paper writer?
I used to use pen and paper as I knew I’d always
have it with me, however I hated typing it all up so I use my laptop now.
10
How do you come
up with characters names and place names in your books?
The characters are usually a mixture of names I
like and surnames of random people or first names of people I know with
different surnames.
11
Did you learn
anything from writing your book? What
was it?
I learnt more about the Dartmoor area and the
places available to visit there. I also learnt that editing is very hard but
very rewarding.
12
How long does it
usually take you to write a book, from the original idea to finishing writing
it?
Not
that long a few months or so really. It’s the editing that takes the longest
for me.
13
Can you describe
the feeling you had when you saw your published book for the first time?
I
was ecstatic! I was so very excited and I kept touching it and showing it to
everyone.
14
Who are some of
your favourite authors?
Lauren
Kate, Karen Mahoney, JK Rowling, and many more.
15
Have you ever
suffered from a "writer's block"? What did you do to get past the
"block"?
Yes
I have, not sure there are many writers out there who can say they haven’t! I
tend to do a few things; mess around on Facebook for a bit, text a few of my
friends and family, make a nice hot chocolate and re-read what I have written.
If that still doesn’t work then I put a film on and go back it after it. There
has only been one occasion where I had to give up trying for the day as it just
wasn’t happening.
16
What piece of
advice would you give to a new writer?
Keep
at it. Try editing your own work before giving it to a professional as it makes
you so much closer to your own work and teaches you a skill.
17
Would you share a
deep dark secret about you with us?
A
deep dark secret, gosh I’m not sure I can think of one! Let’s see... I once
tried writing a raunchy scene but I made myself feel embarrassed so deleted it!
