Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to be considered for an interview, check out our guidelines\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/guest-columnists-welcome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>About Chris Hauty<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Chris Hauty is a screenwriter who has worked at all the major movie studios, in nearly every genre of film. He currently lives in Venice, California, in the company of a classic Triumph motorcycle and a feral cat. <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/mXrhn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>DEEP STATE<\/em><\/a> is his first novel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>On to our interview!<\/h2>\n<h2>Q: Tell us who you are and what inspires you to write.<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A: I&#8217;m Chris Hauty. I live in Venice, CA. I&#8217;ve been a working screenwriter for more than 30 years, working for just about every major studio and in almost all genres. I&#8217;m inspired to write and tell stories that entertain, inspire, and engage my audience.<\/p>\n<h2>Q: How did you get to this place in your life? Share your story!<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A: You may have noticed that the movies being made today are quite different than those distributed only ten years ago. I decided to try my hand at writing fiction because the stories I wanted to tell no longer had a place in the studio film world. I also desired more freedom in how I told those stories. Writing my first novel (and having success with it) was a liberating experience! While I still intend to keep a toe or two in the film and tv world, I consider myself a novelist first.<\/p>\n<h2>Q: What are you most passionate about?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A: My two sons. Travel. Motorcycles. Making new friends and acquaintances. Living every day to the fullest. I&#8217;m also passionate about doing whatever I can to leave this place (Earth!) better off than when I got here.<\/p>\n<h2>Q: Can you tell us a little bit about your writing process, routine, and\/or rituals around your writing?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A: I&#8217;m a creature of routine. I&#8217;m at my desk by 9am every weekday and work until 5 or 6p. Three decades in Hollywood made me a dedicated outliner, the part of the process that I find most arduous. Once I have a solid outline to work from, however, I crank up the music and write quite joyfully. The first draft is my FAVORITE part of the writing process. Rewriting and polishing is okay. Working off my editor&#8217;s notes is fun because that&#8217;s often times more problem solving. I&#8217;m very prolific and efficient. Since May of 2018, I&#8217;ve completed 3 books.<\/p>\n<h2>Q: What are a few challenges you faced in creating, marketing, or publishing your creative work? And your solutions to them.<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A: Social media requires a lot of time that I am still learning to organize for more efficiency. But I&#8217;ve been fortunate to have a ton of support from my publisher so I really have zero to complain about.<\/p>\n<h2>Q: What do you wish you had known before you started writing fiction?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A: How much fun it would be! I wish I&#8217;d known how collegial the community of authors and the outstanding enthusiasm of the fans. If I&#8217;d known about any of these things, I would&#8217;ve jumped in a lot sooner!<\/p>\n<h2>Q: What&#8217;s next for you in your creative work?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A: I hope to continue the series which I&#8217;ve started with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/mXrhn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DEEP STATE<\/a><\/em>. I have another rough draft manuscript that I hope to get into the marketplace soon that could serve as a second series, in this case a criminal thriller. DEEP STATE has been optioned by a major tv studio and I am slated to serve as creator of that television series.<\/p>\n<h2>Q: Is there anything else you wished I&#8217;d asked? Please share!<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A: I think that&#8217;s got it!<\/p>\n<h2>Q: Writers are always curious about other writers&#8217; processes. How long did it take for you to write the first draft of Deep State?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A: As I mentioned, I&#8217;m a pretty efficient writer. I think I wrote the first draft in about ten weeks.<\/p>\n<h2>Q: Lastly, how long did you spend on planning and outlining Deep State?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A: Almost as long as the actual writing process! About two months.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/mXrhn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/mXrhn noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-22504 size-thumbnail\" title=\"Deep State by Chris Hauty\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/69967-DeepState-bookshot-PagesOut_WBG-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Deep State by Chris Hauty\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/69967-DeepState-bookshot-PagesOut_WBG-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/69967-DeepState-bookshot-PagesOut_WBG-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/69967-DeepState-bookshot-PagesOut_WBG-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/69967-DeepState-bookshot-PagesOut_WBG-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/69967-DeepState-bookshot-PagesOut_WBG-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/69967-DeepState-bookshot-PagesOut_WBG-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/69967-DeepState-bookshot-PagesOut_WBG.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/mXrhn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deep State<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>by Chris Hauty<\/p>\n<p>Recently elected President Richard Monroe\u2014populist, controversial, and divisive\u2014is at the center of an increasingly polarized Washington, DC.<\/p>\n<p>Never has the partisan drama been so tense or the paranoia so rampant.
