Here is the writer’s interview with John Baker:
1. First off, How many books have you published?
I’ve published nine novels
2. How long have you been writing?
I’ve been writing all my life, since I was at school.
3. What has inspired you to write?
An itch to write inhabits me. It is the only thing that makes me feel whole. Life without writing would be intolerable.
4. What sacrifices did you have to make for you to write and publish your first book? The ones after that?
I have never made much money with my books. So the sacrifices were all material, from the first novel, and, I expect, through any more that I write.
5. About how many hours and days did it take you to write your book?
Daily hours are difficult to estimate. I usually work mornings and do something physical in the afternoons. The last novel took me three to four years to write.
6. Are you happy that you went through all that to write and publish your book?
Oh, yes. It’s a very privileged position to be able to do what you love for a living.
7. Was it worth it to you?
Without a doubt. No question.
8. Finally, what advice would you give a first time writer?
Don’t listen to other writers or anyone who wants to teach you to write. Find your own voice.
