Talk about the process (as if you have one) If I don't feed my habit, then I become unstable and develop into an unpleasant person to be around.Ĥ. I started writing because I wanted to read books about teenagers who were doing the things I was most interested in (hanging out in the park getting more than friendly with people they fancied doing scary things, like fighting, that I would run away from myself). (That makes Aaron sound like an afterthought – but both characters actually turned up at the same time.) And because I wouldn't want to read a story solely focused on pregnancy, I wove in another narrative. I wanted to make it hard for people who don't get into this kind of 'trouble' to judge her. It seems, looking back, that it was driven by my desire to write a book about a teen girl who liked sex, and question the consequences that society holds up as a deterrent to horny teens. I remember the moment I knew I wanted to write this book (sitting on my bed sorting through my sock drawer.) but I'm not sure why. The problem is that my ideas don't really have discernible sources. Say something about where you got the idea for Trouble from It's about strength and friendship and family and school. Trouble is the story of fifteen-year-old Hannah, who discovers she's pregnant and Aaron, the new boy at school who pretends to be the father.
