Born in Mid Wales in the middle of the 1980s, a combination of boredom and tragedy saw John William Bills up sticks and head to the Balkans in search of absolutely nothing in particular. Author of ‘An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery’, John William Bills enjoys extremely slow music and Japanese professional wrestling. <\/strong><\/h2>

What inspired you to start writing?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

I don\u2019t know if anything, in particular, inspired me to start writing, I can\u2019t really remember a time when I didn\u2019t do it. I loved pens and paper when I was a child, so maybe it stemmed from there. I was a very easy child to buy presents for. <\/p>

Have you always dreamed of becoming a writer or a published author?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

I\nnever believed that it was something that could be done, so not really. I\u2019m\nfrom a rural Welsh town, publishing books was something that people from the\nbig cities did, so it never occurred to me that I could actually find a\nplatform to do it. There was no creative writing encouragement in school, I\nthink anyone who said that they wanted to be a writer when they grew up was\nlargely discouraged from following that route. Not because of any issues with\nit, just because it wasn\u2019t normal. <\/p>

At what age did you start writing? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

As\nearly as I can remember. I wrote terrible stories as a child, but I mostly\ncreated little fantasy sporting worlds, for some reason. It wasn\u2019t escapism, I\nhad a really marvellous childhood full of friends, family and fun, but there\nwas maybe something about the statistics, the organisation, the story of it\nall, something captivated me. I find it bizarre that people seem to be into\neither books or sport, rarely both. The storytelling in sport is incredible. <\/p>

Who is your biggest inspiration or what authors, writers have you looked\nup to? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

Quite\nhonestly, there aren\u2019t any. I have favourites, but I wouldn\u2019t say that I looked\nup to them or found inspiration from them. When I read the works of my\nfavourite writers I get a creeping sense of dread, a feeling that I might be a\ncharlatan in this creative world, so if anything they give me anti-inspiration.\nMusic is a bigger influence in terms of getting things done, forming new ideas.\nI get a lot of inspiration from the aforementioned sporting world as well\nactually, men and women who committed themselves to something. I don\u2019t think\npeople realise how much hard work goes into writing. <\/p>

What is your favourite book?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

\u2018Invisible\nCities\u2019 by Italo Calvino. If you\u2019ve read it, you don\u2019t need me to explain why.\nIf you\u2019ve not read it, go and do so now. Spellbinding. <\/p>

What authors did you dislike at first but grew into?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

I\u2019m\nnot too sure, nobody jumps to mind. There are books that I have gone the other\nway on, work that I liked when I was younger only to dislike as I got older,\nPalahniuk, Bukowski, that sort of stuff. Juvenile, angsty stuff. You mellow out\nas you get older. <\/p>

What<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>s your favourite\nunder-appreciated novel?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

What\nexactly does under-appreciated mean? There are a lot of people in the world,\nbooks have been around since the beginning of it all, is anything really\nappreciated or under-appreciated? I suppose I could say that I don\u2019t hear\npeople talking about \u2018Job\u2019 by Joseph Roth enough, or about \u2018Invisible Cities\u2019\nenough, but then maybe I run in the wrong circles. I appreciate them, so\nthat\u2019ll do for me. <\/p>

If you didn<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>t write, what would\nyou do for work?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

I\nwould almost certainly work in caring for disabled children. I studied it at\nuniversity, have always worked well in the environment and have a deep love and\ncare for everything that comes with it. <\/p>

WRITING<\/strong> <\/p>

How many hours a day do you write?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

I\nwake up around 6, go to bed around 9:30\/10, usually stop around 7. So maybe 11\nor 12, depending on projects and energy. It obviously isn\u2019t constant writing,\nthere is a whole lot of procrastination in there, but most of my active time is\npreoccupied with words, research, or putting that research into words. <\/p>

What is your writing process like? Do you need a lot of coffee, prefer\nto write during the night or <\/strong>\u2026<\/strong>? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

Morning,\nmorning, morning, morning. Night people are weird. The morning is the most\nbeautiful time, the serenity of it is so very healthy for the mind. If I could\nwake up at 5 and not irritate my partner in the process, I would do that.\nStaying up all night is detrimental to the soul, and no amount of \u2018I\u2019m a night\nperson\u2019 will convince me otherwise. You\u2019re not, you\u2019re just rebelling against\nyour parents telling you to go to bed as a child.<\/p>

As\nfor the actual process, I\u2019ll have a cup of coffee before I get going but I\ndon\u2019t know if that is to do with the writing or the general pace of the\nmorning. I spend the first hour or so working on personal projects, things that\nare fun, to get into the swing of it all. I\u2019ll then move onto work around 9,\nworking in 75 minute blocks with a little rest every now and then. I like to\nplay darts, so I\u2019ll spend 5 or 10 minutes here and there just throwing darts,\ngetting away from the screen, focusing on something else entirely. But you\ncan\u2019t do that forever, and the work is the important thing. You can\u2019t expect\ninspiration to magically come, it doesn\u2019t work like that. <\/p>

What kind of research do you do, and how long do you spend researching\nbefore beginning a book?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

The\nresearch process is never, ever ending. Even as I\u2019m writing things up, the\nresearch continues. We live in an incredible time where endless information is\navailable at our fingertips, it is our duty as human beings to make the most of\nthat. There\u2019s nothing stopping people from improving themselves as a project is\nmoving, so why not keep researching while working? <\/p>

Have you ever gotten writer’s block? What helps you get out of it? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

I\ndon\u2019t think so. I always remember a quote, I think it was from Buzz Osbourne of\nthe Melvins, saying that anyone with a creative block should just sharpen\npencils for a bit. Do something boring, you\u2019ll soon find yourself itching to do\nsomething a little more creative. I think writer\u2019s block is a crutch more often\nthan not. People forget that this is work, it requires time, patience,\ndiscipline, sweat, blood and the rest. If you find yourself struggling to put\npen to paper, give yourself a moment, work on something else, do something\nelse, then get back to it. <\/p>

How long did it take you to write the book? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

\u2018An\nIllustrated History of Slavic Misery\u2019 took about four years to put together,\nalthough I\u2019d be lying if I said that was four years of constant work. There was\na lot of procrastination, a lot of other things happening. I didn\u2019t even think\nthat doing a book was a plausible idea until maybe halfway into that period. I\njust enjoyed writing about interesting people from the past. I never\ncontemplated the possibility of it being a book until enough people had suggested\nit to me. <\/p>

How did publishing your first book change your process of writing?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

It\ntaught me that work is the only thing stopping people from writing and\ncompleting things. \u2018I\u2019d love to write a book\u2019 is code for \u2018I\u2019m too lazy to\nwrite a book\u2019. Publishing the book make me realise that the laziness is fatal\nto writers.<\/p>

How does it feel once your book gets published? Is there a huge level of\nexcitement to see the book come alive? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

I\nthought there was going to be a rush of excitement, and there is, but it doesn\u2019t\nreally last a huge amount of time. By the time a book is completed, you don\u2019t\nreally want to look at it for a while. But, over time, that pride and\nexcitement does return. I look at it now and get a little shy, a little boyish.\nIt is a tremendous feeling. <\/p>

Did you ever consider writing under a pseudonym?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

Not\nreally, although sometimes I wish I had, especially when it comes to writing\nabout the Balkans. But, and it is a big but, you must own what you write, and\nhiding behind a pseudonym is a bit childish. <\/p>

How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

I\ndon\u2019t know when this interview will go live, but there are a couple of books\nabout to be published very soon indeed. The first is the next in the Yugoslavia\nseries, a book about Montenegro and the concept of loneliness, titled\n\u2018Pirates\u2019. There is also a book about the good and the great of the Baltic\nworld, called \u2018An Illustrated History of Baltic Misery\u2019. As for half-finished,\nthe Serbia book is almost done. <\/p>

Do you hide any secrets in your books that only a few people will find?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

Absolutely,\neach of my books has a line or two that is in there for the benefit of just a\nsingle person. Tiny rewards for the people I love, if that makes sense. <\/p>

FOR\nTHE END …<\/p>

If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

That\nwriting isn\u2019t only for people from big cities. That you have the ability and\nthe work ethic to do it, so go and learn how to do it properly. That yes, you\ncan write for a living. I would also tell my younger self that reading is a\nprivilege, so devour as much as you can get your hands on.<\/p>

What advice do you have for young aspiring writers?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

Read, read, write and read. You can never read enough, there\u2019s no better way to understand how you want to write than by reading the greats. And write, there really is no more important advice than that. A lot of people like to say they are a writer but then don\u2019t actually write anything. You don\u2019t have to write things perfectly the first time, but without writing, you aren\u2019t a writer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
